One, two, three, four, high-5!!! Aussie children's entertainers, Hi-5 are among Lachlan's favourite people to watch on tv. Thanks to our Media Centre, we have about 45 episodes of their tv performances and Lachlan insists we watch at least one per day. So when we saw that they were coming to Castle Towers Shopping Centre, we simply had to go! We were so excited and left home early to ensure we had good seats. Hi-5 were due to appear at 11am, so we were there by 9:15am, and were very pleasantly surprised- the cast were all there! They were so friendly and immediately approached us, introducing themselves and showing a keen interest in Lachlan (and even Carrington who was oblivious to it all and happily sitting in the pram!). We got to chat with them and have photo's. Lachlan and Lauren even made up a secret hand-shake! Lachlan was shy at first, but soon warmed up to them, and followed them as they mingled with the growing crowd. Even though they were busy, they still remained aware of Lachlan and kept giving him cuddles and chatting to him. I was really impressed by how nice they are!

Lachlan had a nervous 'hand in the mouth' thing happening, so Tim, Stevie and Lauren followed his lead, posing the same way.
Stevie's little shadow. Lachlan wanted to be wherever he was.

By the time 11am rolled around, Lachlan was so tired from waiting all that time, that he wasn't very interested in the show. I think he was still in awe of meeting his favourite people and hanging out with them. No doubt he will enjoy his beloved Hi-5 with even more passion now :)

... little girl's cooking up a storm in the new kitchen (this is her newish face that she pulls- totally scrunching up her face with a smile wedged somewhere in there)
... dressing little girl in trendy new sandal's and head band from a super Auntie

It was the first hot day in a long time on Saturday 12
