Kangaroo Safari!

The most important item on the bucket list for this tour was to see a kangaroo. Charles promised me that this would be possible, since his family's house is just next to a beautiful park/hillside where many kangaroos reside. I was more than pleased with the outcome of this adventure!

On our first day, we went up to the conservatory to meet Gary (the percussion teacher here) and some students/Charles' and Chrissy's friends. After a yummy pizza dinner with the Martin's I was eager to get our Kangaroo Safari underway (also know as a walk in the park, literally) We were only had to explore for about 10 minutes before we stumbled upon a little family of kangaroos!!

I was so excited!!! (as you can tell...ignore the singing and strange comments during the video...I blame my silliness on jet-lag!!) Also notice the awesome bird and animal sounds! Love it! 

 We are such adventurous explorers!!


We saw a lot of little kangaroo families during the hike. So COOOOOOOL!!!

 "Hey guys, let's be kangaroos!"

Jake and I scream "we're in Australia" about 5 times a day. this is so awesome! 

It's been raining in this area for most of the summer (the last few months), so the ground was really wet. On the way up the hill we avoided this really muddy/soggy area by walking to a bridge that was a bit out of the way. On the way back, we decided that we were now skilled enough to take on the treacherous pathway. Needless to say, we have ruined our shoes. Australia: 1, Ensemble Evolution: 0
