Visting Sydney and meeting Robi, Art, and their family!



Hi Everyone,

I would like to tell you about my visit to meet Robi, Art, Harper, Coco, and baby Gil. My Uncle Josh and Aunty Joy sent my Mommy a message giving us their email so that we could meet them while we were in Sydney. Robi and Uncle Foffy were in Japan teaching English together. Harper is the oldest child with the red shirt. Coco is the one with the green shirt and is the second child. And, of course baby Gil is the smallest little baby sleeping in his stroller. He was only a week old when we visited! He slept the whole time we were there. My Mom says I never slept like that!! Isaac and Coco had Halloween costumes on - Isaac was dressed in the monkey costume and Coco was the froggy. I actually put on the froggy pants and they went up to my knees and made everyone laugh!! I had fun! They are a really nice family and thank you Uncle Foffy and Joy for setting us up to meet them. We've met so many nice people through our friends and family.

Don't forget to check my other post on Sydney below!!

Love,

Maddie

I meant to tell you that I love your kangaroo shirt. And I wondered if they feed the sharks in that tube? must have been cool to see them so close. You're going to have a lot of pen pals when you come back!

Dear Maddie, Thanks for introducing us to your new friends, Robi, Art, Harper, Coco, and baby Gil. What a wonderful family!! How exciting that you will have all these wonderful friends on the other side and down under in the world. You and Isaac are always smiling and having a wonderful time. I am so happy for you, especially because you are both old enough to be able to remember these wonderful times and adventures. I check for new post at least twice a day and I am having a great time enjoying your adventures through your blog. I love YOU! Grammy di

We just got caught up on all of your latest posts!! You guys have been keeping VERY busy and having LOTS of fun!! All the beaches look so beautiful and inviting! and you have been meetings lots of wonderful people to do things with which is great! The "give it a go" festival looked like alot of fun and a wonderful opportunity to try some things you may not have otherwise. How did you like the golf? you looked like you did very well! and Isaac may end up being a lacrosse player from the looks of it! Have you guys been playing any tennis? Unc Matt got Auntie Leah to take tennis lessons and I am loving it! :) We have been having alot of fun. Anyway, the trip to Sydney looked like SO much fun as well. I have always wanted to go to Sydney and have been fascinated with the architecture of the Opera House as well. The fireworks picture was beautiful and what a wonderful surprise..those are the things that are so fun about traveling...you always catch little things like that which end up making big memories! :) You guys are taking some wonderful pictures! We wish we could be there to enjoy all these adventures with you but the blog is the next best thing! We love and Miss you! can't wait to see whats next!! :) Love, Auntie Leah and Unc Matt
