Geelong Invasion - Part II

So what happens if you cross 8 people and a dog with a two bedroom apartment in New York City? Look to the bottom to find out. Here is a photo journey through the second part of the Geelong Invasion 2011.


Look what the cat dragged in.

Starting to get cosy on the couch.

Like seagulls to KFC chips.


I'm so glad we watched the Coney Island hotdog eating contest after eating. It was full on.
