8:30 AM - Arrive at the Kangaroo Point Cliffs to reserve our spot to see the Queen float down the river.
9:00 AM - Take pictures of our selves waiting for the Queen.
10:02 AM - Kids go for a walk looking for the bubbler (a.k.a. drinking fountain)
10: 04 AM - Kids are back with confirmation that a bubbler has been located.
10:05 AM - Wait for the Queen
10:32 AM - Watch more police issued jet skis and motor boats go up and down the river. They are also waiting for the Queen.
10:50 AM - Talk to a friendly Australian Bloke about his travels around the world.
11:00 AM - Moan and whine about how hot it is (30 degrees Celsius) and why is the Queen taking so long.......
11:09 AM - The kids spot the Missionaries coming down the stairs and run to see them. They are not waiting for the queen, but heading to the train station.
11:30 AM - Fight off some English ladies that have taken our spot while we talked to the Missionaries.
11:31 AM - Angielee is PISSED and very politely lets them know that they will have to move.

12:04 PM - Her Majesty finally graces us with her backside. All that waiting and she decides she needs a break from her royal wave. She's not even facing us! We are seriously put out, but have decided to chalk it up to a once in a lifetime experience.
Sometime after the fact PM - the Queen visits the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. The same sanctuary we have a yearly pass to. We have decided that we should have waited 4 hours there and played with the kangaroos while waiting.

I can't decide which information I want more.... what is the secret behind Madison's cute curly hair or what is the secret to getting people to move without getting punched/arrested???
