We got wet-n-wild during 18 holes of disc golf at the John Bray park in Strathpine today. Jem told us about a disc golf course he saw in Queenstown (New Zealand) when he was there on holiday recently, but he didn’t have his discs with him! We’re making plans to meet up there sometime in the future to play… maybe we can do a world tour of disc golf!

Happy Australia Day!
Cockatoos, wombats, and koalas… All in edible form!
Tru-Blood!!
Part of my Christmas present from Karen & Mark: a bottle of Tru-Blood! I didn’t even know they made it for real! Mine is a “blood orange carbonated soda” instead of a synthetic blood drink, all the better for me to try it out. 🙂
Aussie Friends
Rainbow Bear found an Aussie friend (and stole his cricketing uniform) while the grown-ups played with apples. 🙂
Sun State Roller Girls
I had my first practice with the Sun State Roller Girls (local Brisbane derby team) tonight and it was great! There was even a girl there wearing a Rat City shirt! Her sister had visited Seattle and picked up the shirt for her. Derby is really a small world!!!
Sydney Adventure
Two new Aussies
Toby (with the wild hair) is Anna and Jem’s 4-month old son, and Nathaniel (hanging with A.J.) is Karen and Mark’s 3-month old.
Annual Pederson Reunion Puzzle
Shaped like the USA and with all the state license plates… We stayed up until 3am finishing it last night!
Toss-A-Bear Night!
We spent the weekend in Spokane visiting Chris & Mandi, and they took us to a Spokane Chiefs hockey game, which was so much fun! I caught a cannon-launched T-shirt from the mascot and it was “Toss-a-Bear Night” where all the fans are encouraged to bring a stuffed friend to donate to kids in need… But instead of just collecting them at the entrance, you held onto it until the chiefs scored their first goal, then toss them onto the ice! It was crazy, they later told us there were about 4900 stuffed animals tossed onto the ice!!!!
M&M’s World in NYC!
Rainbow Bear got to meet Yellow today!
