We went away with my BFFs family for 4 days - 2 babies & 2 preschoolers - and survived. We went to a wine region (in the "outback" haha) and spent lots of time wine-tasting and eating too much. I'm glad to be back in my own bed. The babies slept well and behaved themselves, but the 3 year olds shared a room and started giggling like teenage girls at 5am.

Is it true that you have one bazillion different types of spiders and they are all poisonous except for 2 types?
I would personally not survive since I freeze slightly at the sight of a daddy long legs. I start to sweat, shake and really want to curl up into a corner and cry.
And your family is super cute, I love the picture of the mine (Im fascinated by that kind of stuff ) and I do in fact want to visit Australia. In the winter. My winter, your summer.
