Climbing The Gloscester Tree

The Gloscester tree is located in Pemberton, W.A (about 4.5 hours south of Perth). This is the the tallest fire lookout tree in the world. Historically, they would use trigonometry measurements from this tree and other nearby lookout point to locate where a fire was burning. The tree had a series of metal pegs that you climbed to reach the top, not for the faint hearted!

Merry Christmas

Playdate at Amelia's

Last night mommy & daddy took me to Amelia's house for a playdate (and to watch the Gators win the SEC championship). I had so much fun playing with Amelia.




Look at me standing by myself with Amelia's rings!

Later in the night, Aunt Sarah and mommy dressed us up in our Christmas outfits for some pictures beside the tree.

I tried to take off Amelia's hat first...

and then my own

Look how pretty Amelia looks
Well, that's all for now, Bye bye
