Today was a very exciting day for Stanley, because he was in Sydney. In the morning, first Elissa, and then Adam went to the LDS Temple whilst the rest of the family were in the motel. After leaving the motel, the family showed Stanley around the Temple grounds - Jewel liked showing him some of the pretty flowers.
After lunch, the family drove into the centre of Sydney to go to Luna Park. We explained that Luna Park is sort of like an American fairground or theme park. It is in North Sydney, right next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and opposite the Sydney Opera House. After driving in to North Sydney, we took a photo of Stanley in front of the Sydney Opera House.
We then walked under the Sydney Habour Bridge. Stanley thought it was really, really tall. Adam explained that it is about 440 feet high. That's as tall as two Salt Lake City Temples on top of each other. It's a really big bridge! The family all then went to Luna Park and had fun on the rides. Adam's favorite rides were the dodgem cars. Jewel went on some of the smaller rides, whilst Elissa, Jayde and Seth went on some of the bigger, faster rides. Stanly went up in a very tall Ferris Wheel with everyone, and got to look out over Sydney Harbour. He tried looking to see if he could see Nemo, but he couldn't see him in the water anywhere. Luna Park was a lot of fun, but very tiring.
After Luna Park, the East family had to go to an Engagement Party on the other side of Sydney. This meant that Stanley not only got to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but was in the car as we drove on it as well. The family only spent a short time at the Engagement party, as they still had to drive back to Canberra that night. It had been a long and busy day - but very fun. It was so busy, Stanley slept for a lot of the drive back home to Canberra. That was good, because the family didn't get back to Canberra until 11 o'clock at night!
