We celebrated Australia Day on January 26th. This holiday commemorates the establishment of the first settlement at Port Jackson (in Sydney) in 1788. It is a day filled with festivities around the city. Many people have picnics in parks and beaches. Then, there are fireworks held in different locations around the city that night.
In addition to the Australia Day celebrations, we also had two birthday parties to attend during the day on Saturday. We were having a great day until Sean went down to our car park and realized that his almost brand new bicycle had been stolen from where he had it locked up. That put a damper on our mood, but we picked ourselves up and tried to get back into the spirit. Luckily, we didn't let it stop us from heading down to Darling Harbour with friends to join in the festivities. I'm so glad we did; it was a fun night out.

| Darling Harbour was just a little crowded |
 |
| The firework platform was set up in the middle of the harbour. We stood on the bridge (where the red flags are in the distance) to watch the fireworks. |
 |
| Showtime! |
 |
| It was a spectacular display. We would think it was the big finale and then after a moment the fireworks would start again. Gorgeous!! |

| Thought I'd end the post with a photo I found on the camera. Sean was teaching Carter how to use the remote to take a picture. It makes me think about how much I love these little captured moments in time. |
