At harbor beaches like Fairlight on busy summer days, the Ice Cream boat (behind Isaac) will show up and sell frozen treats. Fortunately we haven't taught Isaac what the Ice Cream Boat is, so he didn't know what he was missing.
Dear Friends and Family,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope this card finds you well. Fifteen months have passed since Ben's work brought us to Australia. We have since picked up a few local habits like eating meat pies, swatting at flies, and re-using grocery bags – all behavior that we'll cease when we come back to the States. In turn, we've tried to give back to the community by sharing with them examples of American culture such as chocolate brownies, Halloween parties, and Napoleon Dynamite.
Not sure when we're moving back to California, but we were lucky to romp around Australia, South Africa, and Fiji a bit this year. We're excited that Ann is pregnant with a girl – due in January. Isaac is turning heads with his surprisingly strong American accent, loving his swim classes, and still in to girls and fast cars. We also moved to a different neighborhood here in Sydney, so update your address book.
May your holiday season bring peace and joy to you and your loved ones.
Love,
Ben, Ann, and Isaac
Here's a lookout over Bobbin Head -- note that footbridge spanning the river.

Love the jellyfish sign warning of deadly marine stingers in the area - along with the vinegar.

Another random animal road sign - Cassowary crossing - large freaky looking birds that run wild up there. 
Isaac waiting for his favorite part of the day - the car ferry while standing in front of a sign warning of crocodile infested waters.

Here's Ben and Isaac on a rainforest walk - Isaac's picked up a little souvenir leaf to take home.
