Aussie footy game!

Here we are!  This is our only mode of transportation these days.  Our car is being held prisoner (at least it feels that way!) by customs. :( They spelled Marc with a "k" and for some reason they seem unable to process our paperwork any further. We shipped our car exactly 4 months ago so we are hoping to see it again one day soon!

We are having many adventures on our bikes and scooters and the kids are actually loving getting around this way...its also incredibly healthy so it is a win-win (mostly!).

Our train station is about 5 minutes away by bike so on this day we were heading into Melbourne by train to go to a footy game!

Once we got off the train in Melbourne we headed to our first footy game.  Footy is also called Australian Rules.  It is a variation of rugby and is fun to watch.  Melbourne is the sports capital of Australia so it is incredibly popular here and you quickly learn you need to claim a team.  Isaac is all about the West Coast Eagles (Perth).  Marc is St Kilda (that is the game we went to) and the girls are I are thinking of cheering for the Kangaroo's (they are cute animals, right!?).  We are a house divided. :)

Marc is all about team spirit and quickly purchased a few things for "his" team.  St Kilda for the win!  Don't you love Ava's lost tooth...so cute!

The way to this boys heart is nutella crepes.  Honestly, the girls were kinda done with the game about 10 minutes in so I went exploring with them.  We brought back a crepe for Isaac and he was very excited!!

It was a super fun day and it is fun to have such great new experiences!
