Daddy played footy with his favourite players...

WOW WOW WOW. I went to Melbourne with Daddy to watch him play in the EJ Whitten Cup. He won a competition and was allowed to pay with a whle lot of AFL superstars and I got to go with him. You could not wipe the smile off his face!

We met so many star players and I had my photo taken with heaps of them. Daddy told me all about who they played for and how many games they had played. It was so exciting especially being in the change rooms with them all. I had photos after photos and I even got a massage!

Mummy came down to watch the game, cheer Daddy on and take lots of photos. Thanks Mummy.

The Running Man

My Daddy is pretty special to me and to Mummy. He is always a lot of fun and he tries to make everything we do really special.

Right now Daddy is raising money for Bears of Hope which is how I came to find such a special Mummy and Daddy. I was given to them at the hospital after they lost our special Sophie Cleo so they didn't leave hospital cuddling something cute. I hope I was cute enough for them :)

As I said my Daddy is special and to raise money he is running the Sydney Marathon on September 20 in a Leprechaun outfit and calls himself 'Larry Leprechaun'!

Daddy looks so funny in the suit and it always makes everyone he runs a past smile. All the little kids smile and wave and it makes him feel good about what he is doing. Some people think he is crazy and wonder why he is doing it but when they find out why he is making a spectacle of himself they agree he's doing a great job.

So far Daddy has raised almost $12,000 and his aim is $15,000. I reckon he is so good at this that he will raise heaps more... even $20,000. Wow.. imagine how many teddies like me could make a family smile when they need it most.

We have been training, 'pounding the pavement' as Daddy says. He has tried the suit in The Gold Coast 1/2 Marathon and The Hunter Valley 1/2 Marathon. I just love watching him run.

I am so proud of what he is achieving in so many ways

GO DADDY!!!

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.
