Well here it is our blog for our 2014 adventure - the adventure down under in Australia. We, Sean, Krystin, Matthew and Kade Rennie, are heading to Australia for a year. The adventure starts before we actually get to where we will live. We are heading to New Zealand on Christmas day for a little family vacation then off to the east coast of Australia before settling in Falcon in Western Australia. We will be about an hour south of Perth on the Indian Ocean. So stay tuned as we plan to post often to keep our family and friends up to date on our adventure.

Stalking the Dolphins

Today we took a trip in to the Mandurah City Centre to have a look around and to get a little more acquainted to the community.  We hit the Mandurah Boardwalk and toured around.  While walking around we spotted some dolphins playing in the water - yeah that's right real dolphins in the wild.  Ok so a little history for some reason I - Krystin - have been obsessed with seeing a dolphin - lets just say this made my day.  But this is just the beginning!!!  We headed to a beach area on the other side of the estuary so the kids could swim and go to the skate park and would you believe it there were more dolphins - and not the same ones - these ones were grey the others were black.  I don't think I even saw the kids in the water as I was chasing the dolphins down the beach. The kids then went to the skate park and I remained on dolphin watch - it paid off as one came within 25 metres of me after I made my way into the water to get a better picture - the pictures do not even start to describe the pictures that are etched in my mind forever!!!
