Penguins!

We finally had the chance to use a Christmas gift from last year – Cliff and I went behind the scenes with the penguins at the Melbourne aquarium. They have both king penguins and gentoo penguins and we went out on the ice with them. We’re not allowed to take cameras or anything else, so don’t have photos of the experience itself, but here is Cliff greeting one of the gentoos as we were leaving.

Lawn bowls

For our holiday gathering, my team from work decided to play lawn bowls. I had never played before and didn’t even know the rules. Once I realized it was just curling on the grass, I was good to go. I just needed Cliff at the other end holding a broom for me to aim at.
