England must be old cause they have castles

Well Elmo went to the D-Day Museum today at Southsea. Elmo got to climb on a big big tank. Elmo thinks the troops who are deployed are really brave men and women to be in one of them.

Elmo had a fun day but boy was it cold!
Elmo thinks he needs a jumper on!

Elmo goes to Portchester Castle

Today Elmo got to be a knight in shining armour and go visit a castle. Jade, Dunkan and Chris took Elmo around the castle and boy was it incredible.

Elmo might need to study history after this visit as boy where there some interesting and really really old things there to see. Elmo learned that the castle keep was built by William the Conqueror and the walls were built by the Romans.

Elmo has so much to show you that Elmo thinks Elmo will just put the pics up and let you see them all.

Elmo was tired after all that climbing



Elmo had fun with Chris and Dunkan, the tide was out!

Elmo had a great day out and learned so much about the castle.
Elmo is happy that he lives in this time!

After going to the castle Elmo went to meet Chris' mum Allie and the dog Poppy. Elmo was scared that Poppy was going to eat him!



Well Elmo is exhausted again. Elmo is going to rest for his trip to the football game.


Nite Nite
Love Elmo

Elmo goes to a Birthday party at the pub!

Hi Everyone!

Wow is Elmo learning to paint the town red in England! These people never stop drinking at the pub.

Tonight I went with Jade and Char to the pub for a birthday party. Well it was 2 boys birthday party. Elmo is not used to these types of parties. Elmo was expecting birthday cake, and party games. There was lots of loud music and Elmo got to have his picture with the band. Elmo thinks Elmo should be a rock star!

Here are some pics from the pub party.

Elmos' day out at Gunwharf

WOW What a day Elmo has had today. Today Elmo went out with Val, Jade, Chris, Char and Marcus. We went down to see the HMS Victory (which is the oldest serving naval ship and was Lord Nelsons flag ship at Trafalgar) , went shopping, met a really nice policeman, some great security guards and took lots of pictures. Char even took Elmo up the spinnaker. Boy was Elmo scared but Elmo has some fantastic pictures from his day out.

Did you notice that Elmo has shorts on now too. Elmo was a lil embarrassed when Lauren sent him off with just a lil white suit on, but Val has dressed me in some groovy shorts and pants now too! Now Elmo's bottom won't get cold!

Here are Elmo's pics from today!





Elmo got tired and needed the stroller.. Elmo is only 4.

Yummy yummy yummy (and at this point you know Elmo is not typing the blog!)
This young sailor serves on board HMS Victory.
I posted a letter home to Lauren


Do you think Elmo would make a good sailor?
He would be just as cute as the one from the HMS Victory!


Elmo tested his strength but Elmo is very strong --- BUT Elmo is only 4 he says.

Pushing the elevator button to go up to the Spinnaker

WoW Elmo is up really really high!

Elmo is scared! HELP ELMO!
Elmo was on the glass bottom floor and look at the view! wow
Lucky Char had a good hold of me and told me I was safe!




This local Policeman was happy to pose for a photo with Elmo.. who can resist Elmo! hehehe Elmo knows he is cute!

Well Elmo is sooo tired after a big outing. Elmo has more pics to post of playing with Marcus at home and Elmo will do that later when he uploads more pics. Elmo has a birthday party to go to tonight at the Pub. Elmo hopes they have party food and party hats and a birthday cake too! Elmo likes cake (maybe the man who made the bread can make a cake)

Love Elmo
