The other day Cameron, Kyle and I went into Vivid Sydney. It was that good that I wanted to go back with David {and our other boys}. So on Saturday night we drove in most of the way, parked the car and caught a train for the rest of the trip. We knew that there wouldn’t be anywhere in Sydney itself to park, and luckily for us because I am sure EVERYONE in the whole of Australia was there!!!
Vivid Sydney Circular Quay.
We got off at Town Hall {like last time} and walked to Darling Harbour. We tried to see the FireWorks but there wasn’t a good spot to see it – David had to lift up Cameron and Kyle onto his Shoulders so they could see above the crowds. I took photos with my camera as high in the air as possible….and some of them turned out sorta OK.
While we were at Darling Harbour our boys attempted to play at the playground…..the one they loved playing at on Thursday night. What a difference a weekend night makes. There was no chance for them to get onto any of the equipment.
Our older son meet up with us, and we got to spend a couple of hours with him…..trying to show him the lights at Darling Harbour. Then we all waked back to town hall and got off at Circular Quay. Walking around through the crowds we headed to the Opera House.
I took the photo with my phone so the lightning is not good – but I still love this photo. Its my family – talking about what we have been doing and catching up with what our older son has been doing.
I am sure our older son has grown in height – or is it because I haven’t seen him in awhile? Not sure but he looked good. Strong and healthy- a bit stressed with work but otherwise happy. David got to speak with him more than I did, I was trying to keep track of where Cameron and Kyle was!
Circular Quay Customs House ::
The lights on Custom House was incredible!!
Fast Like Lightning!
We lost Kyle at one point, but I swear that kid has a good guardian angel because he came back through the crowds to where we were standing – our older son had gone to search for Kyle, but David and I stood still knowing that if we did Kyle could find us again!!
He was with us, and then ran off while we kept saying “Kyle stay with us, Kyle come back”. It only takes a moment, I Think because the crowds were so big and so loud he couldn’t hear what we were saying. He is like lightning that kid – Scary but we had a good ending. Again!
Kicking Myself
We arranged to take our Tripod with us so that I could try and get clearer photos of the Opera House. But I left it in the Car – Kicking Myself. So I handed the camera over to David – who has more of a steady hand than what I have!!
There was a dance floor in front of this building with music playing, and people were joining in on the fun!!
David Took This Opera House Photo ::
The images kept changing on the Opera House. And each one was better than the one before! I loved seeing the Opera House lit up.
We loved the Sharks ~
It is a bit blurry but better than what I can take!
There was Interactive Displays ~
Where Kyle and Cameron got to play with the Lights!
Cameron and Kyle had so much fun~
with all of the Displays at Circular Quay
The night was good – we didn’t get home till past 1.00am but it was so worth it. To see the lights again and to show David. If you are ever need Sydney when Vivid is live then I highly recommend it for all ages 🙂

Thanks Jan – it was such a great night 🙂
So jealous! We didn’t get to go this year – the boys are still too young, I think. But I am loving your photos. Amazing!
