Hi everyone, These are some pictures from the Melbourne zoo!!! It was a blast when we went last weekend. The first picture is of me petting a bird called a tawny frogmouth. It looks like a cross between a kookaburra and an owl and it made a little cawwing sound when I pet it. I thought it was really cute. The second picture is of Isaac standing on a croc (it's a statue, it's not real!). The third picture is of a mommy kanga and a baby roo. You can't see the roo very well but you can still see it - look for the little ears poking out of the mommy's pouch. There was another mother and joey and the joey acully got out of his pouch. My mother took movies of this happening so we'll have to see if we can find a way to post it. The forth picture is of children feeding Giraffes. There was a party of children and the keeper of the Giraffes took this party of children and let them each hand the giraffes a carrot! My mom was really suprised. And the last picture is of a sign that they had saying Kangaroos resting quiet please. My mom thought that was cute!!!!We also went to Millie, Tess, Jo, and Chris's house, Queen Victoria Market, and Williamstown Beach. Those were all really fun places to explore. Millie and Tess live in Glen Iris which is just outside of Melbourne and they have a pool which was really fun to swim in. Anna Helde and her family introduced us to Millie's family. They are really nice and we hope we get to see them again soon! My Dad's colleague Annette took us to Williamstown beach and the Science Works here just outside of Melboure. We had a lot of fun there too. (My mom was having so much fun with these experiences that she forgot to take pictures!!!) We will take some next time we visit those places. I'll be sure to remind my Mom.
I miss you alot and hope you all are doing well.
Love,
Maddie

Hi all,
I miss you a lot!! Thanks for the lovely comments. I can't wait to speak to you all.
Love,

Seeing a baby roo jump out of the pouch must have been a great highlight of the trip. I was very jealous of the kids feeding the giraffes -- they are one of my favorite animals. I get so excited when I see you have a new post. I'll show both of the new ones to the girls tomorrow. they are fast asleep. We spent the weekend in arizona with the Kazemi cousins and Ro and Neeks are wiped! Love, elham
You certainly are having some wonderful,exciting, and fun filled days. I love the way you are getting so up close and personal with so many different animals. That would be such a thrill!! Did the Williamstown Beach have nice white sand? Was the water warm and inviting? I loved the pictures of the roos and tawny frogmouth. Owls happen to be one of my favorite birds. I wish I was there with you!!! Love, Grammy Di
Dear Maddie and Isaac,
We went on a trip to Arizona to visit our other cousins. Yasmin came to Seattle and then we took her back to Arizona. We stayed there for 3 sleeps, and we went to the choo choo train park. And then we went to Yasmin's house and there was a pool there and we went around on the edge holding on with our hands twice. It was cold but we did it.
We thought the crocodile was real. We thought the kangaroo was really cute. especially the baby cute. We thought the giraffe was a statue.
Neeku: just say no on there.
We love you, Roshann and Neeku
