Elmo goes on a car cruise

Hi Everyone!
Elmo has been so slack and not been going out and about doing things (Elmo thinks Lauren might be a bit slack too!)

Yesterday Elmo got to go on a car club cruise in a HQ Monaro that was all hotted up and noisy! Elmo headed out to Rosevale where along the way he met up with some other people from the car club. Elmo got to see some nice countryside and enjoyed lunch at the Rosevale Pub and met some of the locals!

Elmo in the front... oops no seat belt there!

Elmo says it was comfortable on Lauren's lap

A nice country church on the way.


Elmo wanted a picture of this rose for Chaundelle

A beautiful old building.. Elmo ate lunch on the veranda to the pub.

Elmo met some local folks at the pub who were only too happy to pose for a picture. They told Elmo all about the history of the pub.

Elmo getting comfy for the trip home.. Elmo much prefers sitting on Lauren's lap as the seats in the car hurt Elmo's bum! (oops Elmo said Bum)





Elmo was thirsty and trying to get a drink!


The local boys took Elmo into the pub for a drink.. I had to remind them that Elmo was only 4!





Elmo enjoyed looking out the window on the way home and Elmo could see his reflection in the mirror!

Elmo had a great day out with Lauren and Neal in the Monaro. Elmo thinks he would like to go for a drive in it again and that Eric might like to tag along next time!

Elmo promises to get out and about and do more things soon.

Elmo just wants to say one more thing.. Elmo love Margie and is really hoping for a speedy recovery. Elmo says "Get well soon Margie".


Love Elmo

Elmo has fun on a road trip to Banff

Today Elmo went with Chaundelle and Lauren to Banff.

Elmo can remember the last time that Elmo went to Banff and all the great stores that Elmo shopped in with Cole and Chaundelle.


It was important to make sure Elmo was strapped into the care safely (Lauren got in trouble for not strapping Elmo in!)

Then it was off. Elmo stopped at Lac des Arcs for a picture stop and to enjoy the wonderful view.





Opposite the lake is this huge mountain. Elmo thinks Elmo might take up climbing!




From here Elmo headed to a lil lake that people were crazy enough to be swimming in. Lauren checked the water and according to her... far to cold to be swimming in, but it made for some nice pictures.




Elmo decided that rock climbing might be fun, but it was very hard so...


Elmo climbed the tree instead!


After Elmo's big day out in Banff it was time to come back to Calgary and check into the Hotel Arts. This lovely Front Office staff member was only too happy to pose for a picture with Elmo!

Notice Elmo's new shirt? It says Elmooooooo. Elmo bought it from the cow shop in Banff.

Well Elmo has had had a great time visiting with Chaundelle again in Calgary but its time now to head back home with Lauren and start on the next part of Elmo's journey. We are looking for more people to host Elmo and show him some fun. If you are interested leave me a comment on this blog post.

Elmo is all packed inside the bag and ready to fly in the plane. Elmo will see you all when he is down under in 2 days time.

Love Elmo

Elmo visits Canada!!

Hi Everyone
Elmo missed Chaundelle and all his friends in Canada and Elmo decided that he wanted to come back but this time he didn't want to come packed in a box. He wanted Lauren to bring hm! Elmo is back here in Calgary and boy oh boy is Elmo loving it. Elmo got to spend the day with Cole when we went sight seeing.

Elmo and Lauren then went over to Niagara to see Di and Brenda. Elmo got to go back to Niagara Falls and see all that rushing water again. There are lots and lots of pictures from Elmo's exciting days out.

Elmo started the day at Tim Horton's drinking a hot chocolate with Sue

Next we headed on down to Niagara Falls.

After our big walk, Elmo was really tired and needed lunch so Elmo and the girls headed over to Red Lobster for a feed. It was just in time for Crab Fest.

Elmo thinks that Elmo wants some Lobster. Elmo was eyeing them off in the tank.

Elmo chose the lobster he wanted for lunch.

After lunch we headed to a winery. Elmo reminded the girls that he is only 4, so he couldn't go tasting the wine. We then headed down to Niagara in the Lake to Lake Ontario.

First we went down to the lobby and Elmo posed with the Security Guard for a photo.



After this  Elmo posed with Nizam the Concierge for a photo.



This is a the doorman at the hotel. He was only too happy to pose with Elmo. Elmo even got to help open the door for guests.




Lorraine and Eddy arrived to have dinner with Lauren and Elmo. Lorraine loves Elmo! Eddy.. well Eddy wasn’t too sure about being seen with Elmo in public.

Elmo came to Temptations Restaurant to enjoy dinner with everyone and enjoyed his yummy dinner.

This lovely lady was our drinks waitress for the evening.


And because Elmo was good and ate all his dinner.. Elmo got to have dessert.


Lorraine helped Elmo to choose his chocolate fountain.

Elmo goes on holiday

Hi Everyone

Wow Elmo thinks Elmo has a great life. Elmo is on holidays with Lauren in Kuala Lumpur. We arrived last night and had to have dinner with the outlaws, and after a very very long day finally we got to sleep. Elmo enjoyed the flight but thinks being packed in the luggage was a lil rough.

'
Packed in the suitcase and ready to go!

When we got to the hotel after a rather h in hectic taxi ride (Elmo thinks the taxi driver was on a mission in some video game) Elmo got to relax in the room.

Today Elmo got to sleep in late and then enjoyed breakfast in the hotel. After that Elmo got to sight see for a bit.


This is Elmo at the KL Tower




Elmo and Lauren are now sitting up in the Club Lounge on the 25th floor of the RenaissanceHotel enjoying a drink and watching the city light up.



Tomorrow Lauren and Elmo are off to an Elephant Sanctuary and we will get to feed and wash the elephants. Elmo is not sure he wants to do that.

Well Elmo says its late here in KL and that Lauren needs to get to bed so that they can see the Elephants tomorrow!

Love Elmo
