Pics Of Ellie

Here are some pics of Ellie. She is growing up so fast. Look at the funny way her toungue is shaped. It has been that way since birth. How funny.

KOALA BEAR SANCTUARY 2008

And the Pace Clan...with Christa along for the ride enter Lone Pine Sanctuary

"

This picture and information is crazy...they really are THAT small when they are born. Actually, kind of gross if you think about it. Then, they crawl up to their mother's pouch and stay there until they are big enough to survive on their own

Cory and "HIS" Koala Bear...He got his own special one...The Koala Bear in front of him was for adults only and was a little mean...so they brought out this cuddly one...He was SO cute and dug into Cory's shoulders "very hard" according to evidence left afterward...but he said it was worth it!!

The Zoo Keeper preparing the Koala to "cling" onto Cory

One of the Bachelor Koala Bears...yep they have their own special place!

Special Friends...Christa and Cory

The Pace Clan plus one cute furry Koala Bear

The Pace's outside the "Kindergarten" Sanctuary...they have a special area for everyone, including the young ones

This was an "Elderly Koala" from the Retirement Home

Christa, Kristi and Cory...Cory looks thrilled

Another cute friend

Kristi stroking a HUGE snake...freaked me out a little but I did it!! Go Kristi!! That was a dorky comment...

This is the snake I was stroking...ugh

Enter at your own risk! Yes, there are no workers in this confined area...a bit scary considering kangaroos can kill you if they get upset. We were lucky though, these ones were all nice...seemed very tired...and VERY hungry!

This was my favorite kangaroo!! Such a cutie...so tiny and sweet.

Same kangaroo giving me some love...what do you kids think??!!
Do you want one??!! I have a client who keeps one as a pet...she says the kangaroo sleeps in her bed with her. Personally, I think she is a little crazy! :)

Cory chillin with some very tired and lazy kangaroos

Christa feeding a cute little kangaroo...they loved our food!

We HAD to get a picture of the kangaroos jumping!!

Steven giving some love to this gentle kangaroo

Cory feeding a kangaroo that kept following him around

Man does He look like He is having fun!!

Mom loving some time feeding kangaroos with her boy

Some more food feeding...

Bats...aren't these cool??!! I was so surprised to see them...they are amazing in person and a bit scary looking! It freaked me out when I realized this is what hit me in the head when I was emerging from the "glow worm" cave we visited in December...yikes!

Happy Birthday, Darcy!!!

Happy Birthday, Darcy! She turned four April 27th. We love you!

Aloha!

Aloha! We had a great vacation in Hawaii.

We left the girls with Grandma and Grandpa and spent a week on the North Shore of Oahu. 

This was Annie's favorite day. We hiked Maunawili Falls, three miles of pure beauty.

This was our amazing beach front house. It was absolutely beautiful!

This picture is out of order. Again, Maunawili Falls. We got in and swam to the falls.

We did a lot of snorkeling, hiking and swimming. We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, Pearl Harbor, swap meet, and Waimea Falls. We ate lots of malasadas and shave ice. It was great! Love you all, Tom and Annie
