Coop's Loves Blogging-- Here's More!

Here is what Coop has to say today....


We saw a lot of friends. We are having a lot of fun. Love Cooper, Doug, Stephanie and Tucker. Thanks to the guys in the taxi and some of them are Chinese. The black taxi is great and it is super black and they have special hats for the guys in the black taxi and they are very big. I miss you. Thank you to all the girls in my class. I miss you so, so, so much.  Classmates please come to Australia.  Put your dogs on a plane that is called New Zealand and they have to stay at quarantine for five, five, five days. Love you.


The new apartment has a big swimming pool, but you are not allowed to walk on the rocks. Dear classmates, I miss you. Please come to Australia. We have an apartment that is full of room and we love it in every way.


Aunt Mary, Peter, Baba, Grandma Laura and Nana some of the trains go to Blacktown and some don't. I love the black taxis.  I miss you so much.


Note-- The taxi drivers are actually Indian and the "hat" they wear is actually a pagri.

A Trip Line for the Boys

So this posting is more for the boys than anything. I am pretty sure Tucker will have no memory of our trips to quarantine and I am hoping Cooper will have some memories of it. If not I have made a little photo trip line so they WILL always have photo memories.


GETTING TO THE TRAIN




The boys in the lift at Central
 Cooper takes great pride in pushing Tucker in his stroller.  Tucker is usually okay with it, but sometimes he just wants mom.  Just love Cooper's get-up- sunnies, Dad's backpack and he is singing!


TRAIN RIDE TO BLACKTOWN






Snacks on the train are imperative. The take up a good 10 minute- usually before the train even departs the station!  I am getting better at packing snacks that take more time to eat.  


TRAIN STOPS




Strathfield Station




Granville Station

No clue what goes on in these towns, but they are the first stops after leaving Central Terminal




Paramatta
Paramatta is a pretty big town. Lots of people alight the train here and many get on. A branch of the University of Sydney is located here and a HUGE shopping mall.

WE'RE HERE!
