Lili's Flower Card, Koala, Parrot and The Great Ocean Road

Hi all hope you are all well, I am sooo excited I am off to see Dolly Parton tomorrow night and I can't wait, so we have had Dolly songs for the last couple of weeks lol!
DH didn't need me today so had a little time to play this morning, while my MIL pottered in the garden.  So Inked up 'Lili's Flower' isn't she gorgeous.

As some of you will know my MIL is with us at the moment, we also had Edward's brother and wife come and stay for a few days and they wanted to see The Great Ocean Road, so I took them along with Rosanna and Morgan, we covered 468 kilometres and had a wonderful day!  Here are some pics for those who have never been.

Our first main stop was at Kennett River to have a drink/snack and see the birds and koalas, what a surprise we got when this parrot landed on Rosanna's head lol!


This is another one and he took a little bit of biscuit from me
How cute is this fella, we were so lucky to see him move around, though we did have neckache from looking up for so long lol!



Uncle William wanted a silly photo lol!

How blue is that ocean?


The Twelve Apostles, or what is remaining of them



This is just a round the corner from the Twelve Apostles, there is a cave too

A closer look
 Honest mum we will just paddle, these two ended up soaked lol!  Somethings never change!


Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed the photos, gotta say took lots lol!  Have a wonderful week, take careX:)  Off to bed as soon as I link up the challenges so shall try and catch up with you all later in the week.
