1. Mary and I forgot to pack the camera, so all the photos were taken with my phone.2. It was windy and cold by Queensland standards (Cole's hair doesn't usually stand on end). Most days we walked along the beach instead of swimming in the ocean.
3. After I was finally able to relax and get used to the idea of being on vacation, we were all happy and enjoying ourselves.
4. I maintained a low personal grooming standard.
This is Inskip Point at low tide.
Above, is a rare side shot of the belly. Eight weeks to go. Mary is a champion. She is so diligent with the food she eats and all the other stuff that goes along with incubating a human. [entymological note: I will be using the less specific definition of incubate which refers to maintaining the environment of growth and development and not the direct Latin "to lie down on" root of the word.]
On Sunday we went to Underwater World to look at sharks and other aquatic life. In my view of the ocean, you are either a shark or food for sharks. Although, the kids and I were recently watching some sweet video of an orca taking down a great white; we just don't get enough orca action off the coast of Brisbane for me to include them in my philosophy.The aquarium was good value and I could have spent hours hanging out in the tunnels watching fish swim over my head. Their extensive collection of tree frogs was a personal highlight. And thankfully, we have yet to see Cora develop any rare illnesses from the water she drank out of the the turtle exhibit.
