Grandma and Papa Visit - Marney Bay

We took the boat to Marney Bay one morning and the weather was perfect. We didn't realise at the time that this would be one of our last boating trips in Karratha before we moved. The Dampier Archipelago is such a special and unique part of Western Australia. I feel blessed that we had the opportunity to explore this region so often. 

Someone gave her a lollipop...
All ready for another boating trip!

Zara bub 
We brought the jet ski out with us too (Harrison was thrilled!)
Alissa loves to copy everything that Sienna does, including wearing what Sienna wears! It annoys Sienna sometimes but they are the best of friends most of the time.

We let Harrison drive the jet ski in the secluded bays of the islands. He can't get enough of it! 

Beautiful, untouched, Marney Bay. 
Seriously...where did a whole bag of lollipops come from?! Zara sniffed them out quickly. 


Papa and Grandma blowing off some steam! 
Oh dear...these two will be trouble one day! 

"Hi Papa!"

Digging holes...it never gets old!

Grandma and Papa Visit - Withnell Bay Picnic

Grandma and Papa were able to visit Perth in July for three weeks and they spent one of their weeks with us in Karratha. We really appreciated the one-on-one time with them! Here are some photos of a picnic we had one evening at Withnell Bay.

Alissa has no fear when it comes to jet skiing with Papa!

My baby girl 
I love the colour of Harrison's eyes - a mix between brown and green, a true hazel. 

Grandma and Sienna 

Those fingers in her mouth...

We ate maple glazed, pulled pork rolls with coleslaw on the beach (as you do!).

Papa calls Lissy "Little Pop" she loves it! 

Me, distracted by taking photos in the "good light" while everyone is trying to eat their dinner! 



The gas plant where Clinton works is visible from Withnell Bay

I love this photo of Zara - so sweet and innocent and yet there's wisdom in those eyes. 
My big boy!

That cheeky face...I never get tired of it!
