The Lamothes spent Chinese New Year in Perth, Australia. We had a wonderful time, enjoyed some good food, beautiful scenery and great weather.

| Swan River |
We went to Caversham Wildlife Park and we saw lots of native Australian animals.
 |
| python |
 |
| Us and a Wombat |
 |
| Lots of kangaroos |
 |
| Koalas |
Koalas sleep a lot. The eucalyptus leaves they eat are not very nutritious, so they conserve their energy by sleeping 20 hours a day!
We went to the farm show!
 |
| Sheep Shearing |
 |
| Ryan learned how to crack a whip |
 |
| Mason also volunteered |
The kids were told the first one to finish their bottle was the winner. Luckily, the lambs did the drinking!

| Brady milked a cow |
 |
| Mason, too |

It's summer time in Australia. The night and mornings were cool and the days were hot. We had a great time, I wish we could have stayed longer. Or maybe, go back for another visit?
