Hannah: Day 2 "Fish n' Chips and Shell Collecting"

It was a beautiful morning, nice and sunny. 

After brekkie Liam and Ellie cam over, we played a bit and then headed out to have lunch and look at more beaches. We went to the fish n' chip shop for fresh fried fish and chips.

 It was yummy. While we waited in the park for them to call our order number uncle Richard climbed a pine tree to get pine cones for us.

We went up the coast a little and found a spit.

A "spit" is the part of land where the rivers come out and meet the sea.

Liam and I running across the spit

We collected sea shells, there were many different kinds, I love collecting shells.
We spent the whole afternoon at the beach even though there wasn't much sun and it was a little cold.

We found lots of interesting and colourful stripey shells

Hannah: December 14th ---"Arriving in Tathra"

After a good nights sleep I woke up in Sydney and packed to get ready for another plane ride. We were giong to my nanas house in Tathra, which was not far away.
We met my Aunty Stephanie, Uncle Clay, and their children at the airport. They had just arrived and they were flying back to Utah. It was fun to see them, Luke was still crazy, he makes me laugh.
We got on a tiny airplane, no tvs like the other planes. It was a short ride and we landed in Merimbula.

We drove to Tathra, my nanas house is big and pretty, it's on the ocean, it is a beach house. The garden has a fairy cave. I think it's magical, there are lots of flowers and a big lemon tree that has giant lemons. My cousin ellie and Cate started bowling with them, they got in trouble. I love Tathra. The first thing we did was go swimming in the pool.
We had a great dinner, of sausages , my mum said this was a real aussie dinner. I am happy to be here.
