Travelog for: Shirley Sheep

What a great time I have been having.
Just before Christmas I went to Brisbane and visited the big Christmas tree and went on a boat at last. Just a little boat, the ferry that crosses the Brisbane River.
Alot of fun.

Christmas time and I am a very busy sheep helping to decorate the tree.
Roo arrived in time for Christmas so there were four of us here.
Christmas day was lots of fun too and I played with Cool Jules,Fred Abear and Roo as well as some of the bears who live here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 to everyone. I celebrated till midnight with my friends.

I arrived at Janine's and she introduced meto her cat, Wicket. He gave me a big smooch to welcome me. We went into Auckland City and saw the Sky Tower. This is the tallest building in NZ. I'm looking forward to seeing some new things soon.

Here is the pics of me and Wicket and the Sky Tower.

Hi all,
very soon Janine is sending me on to my next host but in the meantime I have been travelling NZ with Janine. We went to lots of places, Whangarei, Gisborne, Rotorua, and Wellington. Hopefully the pics will show. This is me and Wicket.
This is me with Lake Taupo in the background. A volcanic cater lake in the middle of the North Island.

I arrived home from new zealand.... oh how happy to be home, I met other tv`s just about to travel to the Dominican Republic but I cannot go as there is no room....  baaaaa

I met Count, Mocke and Chocolate so we had fun, they were trying to help my mummy pack her case, but they kept trying on her clothes so it took a long time...

I will see them when they come back before I leave again.

I am back home and rested and now on my way again :  my travel plans are as follows:

Hello from Virginia! I arrived today to much fanfare...there was a whole committee of Toy Voyagers here to greet me! I am tired from the trip, but I am so excited to be here!

What an amazing morning we had! Today was the National Race for the Cure, a huge 5K race to raise money for breast cancer research. There were 50,000 people (and four toy voyagers) that walked and ran in the race today! (and Mara says that there are usually more, but the crazy heat kept a lot of people at home) First, we had to get ready. I skipped the sunblock, but Snuggles helped me to pin my race number on...

Then it was time for the race. It was hard to take pictures because of how many people were there and the weather (it was really hot, and the morning started really foggy), but here I am on the race course...

The women in pink t-shirts are cancer survivors! And here I am at the finish line! (the building in the background is the one of the Smithsonian museums - The National Museum of the American Indian)

We were really proud of our race - here we all are on a bench afterwards...

...and here we are catching a moment of shade under a plant near the Smithsonian Castle!

Of course, before we got back in the car, I stopped for a picture in front of the Smithsonian Castle!

We had a fun day today! When Mara got home from work she told us that a package arrived! First, we tore off the tape...

And then out popped Muumipeikko!

But there was still noises in the traveling case...

It's Mausi! But there was one more surprise...

HitchaRideMo! Here we all are -

We told them all how hot it has been here in Virginia - over 100 degrees each day - so we have been keeping cool inside in the air conditioning. It's really hard for me since I have a built-in wool coat! But it is finally starting to cool off a bit, so we will go on an outing with everyone soon!

I had a fun day yesterday! It was Father's Day, so we went to Mara's parents' house to celebrate. First, I helped her dad with the grill (can you see me? It was very sunny...)...

Then, I relaxed under the shade of the umbrella...

While we were waiting for lunch to cook, we all played hide-and-go-seek in her parents' yard. Can you find me in my hiding place?

And here we are afterwards relaxing on the front porch!

After we celebrated Fathers Day, we went with Mara and her husband to play softball. They couldn't take pictures during the game (since they were playing!), but here I am at the field!

I had such a fun weekend! I hopped into Mara's backpack with the other toy voyagers and we all went to a scrapbooking convention! Here I am at the entrance...

We started with some shopping. Here I am looking around at all the booths to shop at!

Then it was time to take some classes. We looked at the class schedule and decided which ones we wanted to take.

Here I am making a summer album:

And here I am working on a layout!

What a fun weekend!

We had a busy weekend here! Even though it was really hot, we all went to the Nationals-Orioles game! Here I am in our seats, watching the baseball game:

And here I am in front of the scoreboard, which Mara said has one of the biggest HD screens in any stadium!

I've had a great trip here in Virginia, but I'm moving on! I bid a fond farewell to my new friends, and I headed off for my next adventure!
