We decided to go to the zoo with the girls as a family. The girls had fun, but I was a bit disappointed. It was hot, most of the animals were just sleeping and the Australian Exhibit was barely an exhibit at all. I wanted to take some pictures of animals for our Australia Continent Box, but did not get any. (well, ok, a few birds, but not what I was hoping for). If anyone has some real pictures from Australia and would like to e-mail them to me, I would be very happy. You can e-mail them to [email protected] Thank-you!
We did have fun though, the girls were happy and it was nice to get away as a family. That is the most important thing!

I suggest doing an image search in Google. Google Images has a great selection of photos for download. Also Schleich makes beautiful Australian animal models.

you should check out a new yahoogroup:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/continentswap/
they are constantly organizing new swaps to help build continent boxes, and are currently working on a virtual swap where people are going to take a bunch of pictures of their local area (a suggested list included things like unique signs, stores, animals) and then post for all to have access to. i haven't had a chance to participate yet but can't wait to!
thanks for your wonderful blog! i follow you on Bloglines.
