BIRTHDAY BEAR LOVES RAINBOW BAY

It was Birthday Bear celebration time again. This time it was Ann's Birthday. Birthday Bear came dressed ready to go to Rainbow Bay on the Gold Coast for a School Reunion. Every year Ann and George hire an apartment on the 14th floor overlooking the beach. While there, Ann organises a reunion for the Staff of Kuraby School where we all used to work in the 90's. We have a delicious seafood spread for lunch. See bear is holding his plate of seafood. The Teddies in the apartment represent us having a feast. Helen dressed Bear this time.


  Happy Birthday Ann

Here are the real Teddies in the real apartment. Staff and spouses of Kuraby School from the 90's.

 The seafood spread

 dessert too

The view from the apartment looking south.

 Whale watching

The view looking north to Surfer's paradise.

 We had a nice lunch at the Glen Hotel. I didn't take many photos. It was very crowded. Helen took this for me. I didn't get one of Helen with the bear she dressed for Ann. So here is one from when it was her birthday.


Bear is going home with Chris so she can dress her for next time.

  3. Only the 90s? Well, I suppose it was a couple of decades ago. It is nice that you maintain this tradition.

  6. Another successful outing for Birthday Bear. You have been in my thoughts of late as we see so many distressing scenes of wild fires in your part of the world.

  7. I think that's a great tradition. I had (still have) a wee bear that travelled all over New Zealand and Australia with me. My brother has a monkey which appears in many of his photos.
