Today was another great day.   We took a tour to a place called Kuranda where they have a train that goes all through the mountains in Cairns.   After that we took a sky rail down and the scenery was breathtaking.  It was a gorgeous day so that helped. We then went to a Crocodile tour and saw even more animals and got up and close to the kangaroos.   When we got home we finished off with a barbeque of mussels (Katie's favorite), hamburgers and hot dogs by the grill.  The pools here each have a nice grill area.  Mike, Katie, Sara and Shelley are getting ready to go swimming in the pool as it is absolutely beautiful tonight.   Tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for - we are finally going to the Great Barrier Reef.   We are excited for that.   The time is flying - 1 week from tommorrow we come back to reality.   But until then after we leave here we saved the best for last - Hamilton Island (Whitsundays).  That part is going to be all R&R - at the beaches and pools - weather permitting!  We are all starting to miss Hayley and Maggie but are sure Grandma and Grandpa are taking great care of them.  And lastly, we are POSITIVE our lawn looks perfect.  I will put up pictures in abit.
