Lucas is now 5 months and we did his monthly photos the other day together with Aiden.
This also gave me an excuse to try out the new strobe I bought for photography (an Alien Bee B800) and it worked out great...so much better than trying to use multiple flashes inside a softbox to get enough power.
Aiden and Lucas are already ganging up on us and sitting giggling together. They absolutely adore eachother although Aiden sometime can get a little rough with Lucas.
Afterwards we went to the local Park to have a bit of a play (see previous post with photos of Aiden).

This Sunday we went to Sydney Aquarium with Sacha, Mavis and their daughter Sammi.
Believe it or not, but it was my first time to the Sydney Aquarium, I guess we were waiting for Aiden to be old enough to really enjoy it (Lucas is still too little).
Aiden immediately ran off with Sammi to look at all the fish tanks.
And as we descended deeper and deeper we came close to the big fish in their larger tanks.
And we could look at them walking through the underwater tubes.
They are also one of the only aquariums in the world having Dugongs in captivity.
In the old days it was though that these creatures were mermaids and you can see how that could happen.
LOOK!!!!! A MERMAID!!!!
Anyway...for the most part it is about me watching the Dugong watching the people watching the Dugong....
Unfortunately I had a terrible hay fever and probably would have enjoyed it even more without it....but we may go back in the near future.

This weekend in the Blue Mountains I took a series of Panorama and waterfall photos.
This first one is taken from Govetts Leap.
And these two are from Evans Head.
This waterfall is also at Govetts Leap.
And these waterfalls are all from the Grand Canyon walk.

On the last day in the Blue mountains we made a visit to the Toy and Railway museum in Leura.
They had a lot of old toys and movie related memorabilia such as Tintin.
...and James Bond.
and some impressive Meccano pieces.
Outside there was a garden with a Japanese inspired section
Along with a Matterhorn model railway.
And other railway stuff.

This weekend we rented a small cabin in Blackheath in the Blue Mountains.
It was a nice little place with a couple of bedrooms and a nice little fireplace. It was a cool couple of days so we had the fireplace going most of the time.
During the day we would go for nice walks in the local area much to the enjoyment of especially Aiden...
...and have lunch at cafes to the enjoyment of Lucas.
The forest around the cabin had a couple of lyrebirds.

My dad holiday is over and he is returning back to home. To celebrate their last ight we went to a Korean BBQ place in Sydney and then we had a coffee across the street later.
Hopefully it won't be too long before he is coming back!
