Singapore Zoo!!!!

We went to the Zoo on Sunday with my Cousin Oliver!

WOW WOW WOW!!!

Oliver gets to go to the zoo all the time and knows where all the great animals are. We fed the elephants bananas and carrots and they almost sucked our fingers off.

We saw Lions, all the big cats, Zebra's, Giraffe's, Monkeys and Orangutans! Oliver's favourite animals are the Lemurs or "Move it's"as he calls them. They came right up to us but we couldn't touch them because they are wild animals.

Can you see the Girafe behind us?

My favourite bit was having butterflies land on me. They felt really tickely and made me laugh lots.Uncle Andrew had one land on his ear!! Sooo funny!

We had a great day at the zoo. Thanks for taking me!

Singapore visit

Mummy and I are in Singapore visiting Uncle Andrew, Auntie Anna and Oliver. Oliver is way cool and we hang out a lot. Here we are on the weekend watching the Wiggles play with Teddy Bears!

We also played and danced while we were watching the Wiggles! Can you see me dancing?

Katherine Gorge... so pretty!

Yesterday afternoon we went to Katherine Gorge on a boat trip. It was so pretty as the sun was going down and the shadows hit the rocks. We even saw a fresh water crock!! I stayed away from him but the camera got close...was scary!!

After we cruised for a few hours and heard Aboriginal stories about how the land, the water, the rocks and the trees were formed we got onto another boat for dinner and watched the sun set. Mummy says it was very romantic... or it would be if it was was Daddy and not Auntie Amee :) When Daddy comes up here again Mummy and I will take him on this afternoon. It was just beautiful!

How pretty is this!!

Thanks for taking us Auntie Amee!

The Katherine Cup... Gooooo horsies!

On Saturday we went to the Famous Katherine Cup (they told me it was famous). There were a lot of cowboys there with big hats who were in town for the cattle sales. Some people were really dressed up and others were in their board shorts like they were going to the beach. Mummy and Auntie Amee looked really pretty though and kept their shoes on for some of the time.

Here are Mummy and I beside the race course.

It was a really hot day and Auntie Amee and Mummy drank lots of water through the day to keep hydrated. Amee stole someones fascinator but kept calling it a fashionator.. hehehe she's silly after all that water!

Here we are at the bar.

I had some water too... phew it was hot!! :)

The horses were really big compared to me but I was not scared, Mummy made sure of that. We only put a bet on one race with a horse called something "Sunshine" because it reminded us of Daddy! We got a second!
After the races we went to the Golf Club but Mummy and I were too tired to stay long. When we got home bed was lovely.. I was sooo bear tired!

We had such a fun day!

RIP Skippy

Travelling can be really tiring! First of all our plane as delayed which meant we were driving in the night time to Katherine. First thing to remember is WATCH OUT FOR KANGAROOS AUNTIE AMEE!! We were almost home and Auntie Amee was skiting about hoe she never sees any Kangaroos out here and then BOOMBA... one was right in front of the car. Lucky she didn't stop becasue we could have crashed. The car had to get towed back into town and we got a blue light escort home! Eorrrrrrr eeoooorrrrrrr. Poor Skippy :( Lucky Daddy was not there.. he would have been way too upset.

Mummy and I are going on holidays!!!

I am very excited.. as excited as a Teddy can be!

Tomorrow we are going on a plane to Darwin to visit Auntie Amee. They have moved to Katherine now so it's a new place to visit but there is a bit of a drive to get there. It's never boring with Auntie Amee though, she sings a lot in the car.

Mummy tells me that Auntie Amee wants to go to the races on Saturday and if I am good she will take me too! I love horses.. can we mummy, can we mummy?!!

Gilly is staying home with Daddy for company because Daddy has to work and make all the money. He and Daddy will be watching cricket and they are both happy about that. Mummy and I prefer to do other things when that is on. We will miss them both but will talk to them every day.

Leaving on a jet plane.. don't know when I'll be back again :)

My First 1/2 Marathon!

On Sunday morning very early we went into the city and ran The Sydney Morning Herald 1/2 Marathon. It's a very long race but not as long as the big Marathon like Daddy has done before.

Here are Daddy and I before the run smiling.

Daddy forgot to tell me how far we were going...Mummy chased us around the city and yelled "Go Boys!" which made us run much faster. We didn't tell her we had to walk some of it because daddy's feet and my paws were getting a little sore. Daddy told me it didn't matter that we didn't win but we try and finish the run. It was really hard but we did it together! We ran and ran and walked a little. In one spot Mummy ran with us and had a chat but she had to stop so Daddy and I could finish the run.

When we got to the finish line there was a man reading out every one's names out over a microphone. He read out Daddy's name and then said "Congratulations Bluey". I was so tired but very happy.

Here are Daddy and I after the run with Daddy's medal! We made it Daddy!! I needed a LOT to drink after all that. Here I am taking a break at the final drink station. Phew... When we got home we headed straight to the spa... ohhhhhh it was sooooo nice!
Mmmmmm it really helped my paws!

Daddy said next time we might have special shirts to run in. Mummy is going to design something pretty with Sophie's hand and footprints in honor of her. That would make us so proud!

Thanks for taking me Daddy, was a lot of fun.
