Trip to the Great Barrier Reef

 July 25th-August 1st: Brisbane-Cairnes-Port Douglas, Australia

Little man got to spend his real birthday in the land down under.  We met Dirk's parents', grandma and grandpa in Port Douglas, Australia.  

This had been the toughest trip we have taken with him yet.  There were two flights and a 24 hour layover and Dylan was teething, sick, and not happy. I think we will stick to short 2-3 hour direct flights now, but cutting your top teeth on holiday can never be fun.

He did manage to go on his first all day boat ride while Dirk and I went scuba diving, saw a koala for the first time, and I mentioned that top tooth coming in.  Great milestones for your first birthday!

Passed out on his first major boat ride.
He stayed on the boat while mommy & daddy dove and grandpa and grandma snorkeled.

I really don't like birds but the zoo keeper made me hold it

Not in a good mood, cutting the top tooth while on holiday!
Makes an unhappy baby!

Much better to eat the candle when you get a top tooth as your birthday present
