Our Australian Adventure

We were fortunate enough to be invited to join the SUU Thunderbirds Men's Basketball team as they played 4 games in 4 different cities on the Eastern Coast of Australia. A group of 9 players, 4 coaches and some of us "hangers-oners". Enjoyed seeing the home country of 3 of the players.
Australia is an amazing country full of life and beauty and offered much, much more than I ever imagined. 9 days flew by!
Team Cook back in Cedar City did great and survived (even thrived) without Mom and Dad around. We owe our kids and sitters a huge thank you for making this wonderful trip so stress free for us. Love you all.

First Stop: Cairns

The boat ride was a bit cold, after all it is going into winter there but we had an amazing time. Brad completed 3 dives. I did one dive and snorkeled. I found Nemo and Brad swam with Crush the turtle for about 20 seconds!

This is B as we head out to the Great Barrier Reef for a day of diving..First day in Australia..This is the way to spend it. Amazing.
