Pebbly Beach


We finally had our first Australia adventure! 
We all had the day off on Sunday and decided we needed to leave Canberra and go on an adventure! 7 of us decided to drive to Pebbly Beach and go camping for the night. Pebbly Beach is about 2 hours away from Canberra – However it took us closer to 4 ½ to get there, since we got lost [about 3 separate times]
Getting lost has become a part of our daily life.  It is basically guaranteed that we will get lost every. single. time we leave the house. None of us have smart phones or a GPS so we have to rely on these things called paper maps- remember those?!
Once we arrived at our camp site the long car ride seemed worth it! We stayed on a beautiful site that had a tropical pool, bar, cabins and was right on the most gorgeous beach.  As I was unpacking the car when Jeremy came running over and told me they found a bunch of kangaroos just laying around a few feet away. We all ran over and were able to sit around with the Kangaroos and take pictures! Little did we know we would spend the rest of the day with these roos! 


After our exciting encounter with the Roos we all put on sneakers and went rock climbing down the beach. It is hard to even describe the beach. The camp site is basically in the woods and then all of the sudden it just opens up to this amazing teal blue ocean water. The beach was surrounded by beautiful and intense rocks that we went climbing on. The pictures don’t even do it justice but I hope you can get an idea of what we saw.

game 1

Last night was the first game of the season for the Canberra Cavalry!













The Parliament

On Tuesday Jeremy and Eric were asked to do an appearance at The Parliament in downtown Canberra. We were all excited to have an opportunity to go visit The Parliament! Canberra is the capital city of Australia and reminds me a lot of Washington, DC. 
The Australian Baseball league has formed a landmark partnership campaign promoting : Be the Influence: Tackling Binge Drinking. This event was held so the media could hear the Minister's discuss the campaign as well as meet a few of the boys from the Cavalry baseball team. Here are a few pictures of the boys playing a quick game of baseball with Minister Mark Butler and Minister for Sport Kate Lundy.
