Hi Mommy,

Well!!! We have had a busy, busy day and what a surprise we have for you!! Today we went to the Melbourne Aquarium and saw the PENGUINS!!! AAHHHH!! How is that!! We took lots of photos to show you and even got to see one baby penguin when the mother stood up for a stretch!! That was very exciting!
- this penguin was cleaning its self
-  this penguin is sitting on it's rock nest.

Hi Mommy,


This penguin has a baby under its feet but it is very hard to see. We think it is one that hatched early this week.

Back again Mommy 

After seeing the penguins in the ice we had a look at the penguins in the water - they were swimming around really fast and then jumping out and the diving back in and splashing! 


these penguins were walking up the ice slope - it looked very hard!

Hi Mommy,

After the penguins we walked on to have a look at the other fish -
there was a turtle in here

this blurry thing is a shark going past!
another blurry shark!

-this fish was going fast!
More soon 

Hi Mommy,

We took some photos to show you some penguin information


and I thought I looked good in these penguin families - what do you think?



Love and hugs
Gooble

Back again Mommy - here we are outside the aquarium

here Mooney and I are sitting by the Yarra near some sculptures that look like they should be on the front of a ship!!

and here we all are sitting by the other side of the Yarra River with the city buildings behind us.
Then we saw some street theatre people - these ladies were on long wavy poles - very unusual but interesting to watch 

Now I am ready for a sleep!!

Lots of love and hugs
Gooble

I arrived home today!! I was so glad to have my new friend with me on the trip back, it made the time pass much more quickly than it did on my way to Australia. I really couldn't wait to show Maggie all the things fleursmum had picked out for her! When she got us from the mail box and opened us up, she had the BIGGEST smile on her face!! Right away she decided that my buddy the penguin would be named Squakers, because that's the noise penguins make. She loooooooved the necklace and earring set. And she couldn't wait to put the kangaroo key chain on her back pack. She  is really excited to show all her friends It just so happens that penguins and kangaroos are her two very favorite animals! She was so happy to see the koala pencil pouch and the colored pencils! They are perfect for her back pack, and taking on long car rides Squakers and I were tempted to eat the chocolates during our trip, but we resisted. I'm very glad we did, because Maggie loves them!! She wants to try one because they look so tasty, but she likes  the wrappers so much that she is thinking about saving them. Her mom told her chocolate is always best eaten, so we will see what happens After she finished jumping around and squealing about all of her gifts, she introduced us to all the new TV's that have been staying here. There is NiliHH who is a very sweet little hippo, a fancy fish named Salmonella, a kind bear named Sheela, Squab who happens to be a very cool dude, and last but not least, my old friend Wild Thing. I'm so glad to be home with Maggie and the whole gang. Although I am missing Australia a bit, my host was so very kind to me. Hopefully my good luck will continue with all of my travels!

Yesterday Gooble arrived in Florida. He is on his way to Haiti with Maggie's cousin for a mission trip!!!
