Penguins, Sea Lions and Sharks Oh My!

No, I have not seen a shark (except the one at the museum).  There was, however, a shark attack off Garden Island last weekend.  The story is quite interesting and therefore, for your reading pleasure, I have included yet another informative link for you.

I did see penguins and sea lions this past weekend though.  On Saturday we went to Penguin Island.  We took a little boat tour of the nearby islands, saw the sea lions, and watched the penguins being fed.  I’ll let the pictures and video tell the rest.

Sunday morning we got up bright and early for the first inaugural Fremantle Port to Port Fun Run.  Amy and I ran the 4k while Kara ran the 12k.  It was a fun morning.  I would run all the time (or at least more often) if I could have a view of the ocean like we did this morning.

Don't we look great at 6 in the morning?

In the afternoon we had a delicious lunch with Ben, his mum (Josephine) and his brother (Joshua).  Josephine has a beautiful beach front home.  We spent the afternoon eating, talking and enjoying the view of the ocean.  It was a great relaxing weekend.

This week at work has been quiet.  Most of the OTs are at a professional development conference leaving us all alone at the office.  It’s a nice break though.  It has given me extra time to work on reports and plan upcoming treatment sessions.  We’ve got a project presentation coming up on Monday so we will be finishing that up and polishing our presentation this week.  Exciting I know.
