Fantastic facebook friends!

I LOVE getting mail, and so do the kids! This week we've been lucky enough to receive TWO packages from facebook friends! Susanne in Queensland - not only a fb friend but my "pen friend" (friends we had BEFORE fb) since our kids were babies - sent us a heap of brochures about the theme parks and other fantastic attractions on the Gold Coast. Patrick and Lauren have looked at them every day and are SO excited! It's easier for them to compare the theme parks than on the 'net - so thanks Susanne - we are VERY excited!!!
Today Patrick received a package from New Zealand from my fb Scrabble buddy Kevin who is involved with Scouting New Zealand. While chatting and trying to distract him so I can win at Scrabble, we discovered a scouting link, and Kevin sent HEAPS of badges that the kids have been having a fantastic time sorting out this afternoon! I know someone else who will have a fantastic time sewing them on to the kids scout blankets! Thanks Mum - they only have about 25 each!!!
Thanks Susanne and Kevin - the kids are thrilled

Your welcome Kylie. Patrick and Lauren could get a cub badge by corresponding with an overseas cub. I know because Isaac wants to do that badge too-among many others!His yellow book is with the leader now as he has completed a few badges lately. See you up here soon. Go Hawks

Susanne, Patrick and Lauren are going to have Kiwi cubs as pen pals for their world friendship badges which will be great.

We are VERY excited that we will be there in a week - can't wait!
