Several weeks ago, Frankie and Ernie emailed to say they were sending a pretend 'rock' for Bella.
We were on the look out for it.
Then a large (Chewy box) arrived and we opened it.
That was Roxy's Easter parcel.
We emailed F n E to say it arrived, and they said
there was another on the way for Roxy for Easter.
(Are you following this?)
The original package hadn't arrived.
Yesterday, we found it in our letter box
with a sticker on it!
Inside was a leaflet stating....
And it contained a letter to explain that the plastic 'rock' would float, so maybe Bella
play with it at the river instead of real rocks.
They felt sorry that she had to wait for someone to throw
rocks for her.
They said it would float, and it does.
We'll try it out on Saturday in the river, in a calm part where
the current won't take it.
Bella checked it out.
We're not sure what the result will be as Bella
is very particular about the size of rock and
where it lands, but we'll let you know.
Thanks guys!
(We think our name might be on record
on the Customs computers.)
Australia Customs are very strict. They confiscate anything that looks the slightest bit 'suspicious'.

We can't wait for Saturday to see how Bella likes her new blue rock!
ReplyDeleteOMCs I bet the custom folks get a kick out of packages for you all from FnE. At least Frankie a Judge and Ernie the Attorney can defend themselves should the need arise!!
ReplyDeleteThey know it will be full of fun so they are jealous and open them JUST because they can!! Have fun Bella!!
Hugs madi your bfff
Lol that's so funny the Rock was inspected!!
ReplyDeletehow cool is that - it might take a few goes before she gets to like it - but hopefully it will work :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the rock made it past inspection by the government. But the true test will be does it pass Bella's inspection!
ReplyDeleteOMD OMD THIS is SOOOOOO funny... your Postal Peeps look at EVERYTHINGY... and sometimes they even TAKE your Stuffs... like they did with the Greenies and Snacks that I (Roxy's Ernie) sent fur Easter. {{SIGH}} Well, it was the THOUGHT that COUNTS... RIGHT?
ReplyDeleteHope the ROCK makes a HIT... and a real Splash at the River.....
wow that rock rocks!!!! please keep me informed if you liked to play with it at the river :o)is there a reason that all parcels have to pass an inspection? or is that common?
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool. Don't eat it!!!
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward

Oh my gosh, we are a little worried about a small envelope we just sent off to Princess Leah and the inspectors keeping it also.....that is a pretty cool rock though. stella rose
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know the officials are on top of keeping the toxic rocks out of the country. We are glad yours got through. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWhew, it would really be worrisome if that plastic rock didn't pass inspection:)
ReplyDeleteHope it works for Bella.
The birthday post actually showed up this morning in Feedly, a wee bit behind schedule:)

Sometimes I don't think customs offishuls got enuf work to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you feel safer knowing that they inspect every rock that comes into the country ;) What a great idea. I hope it works for Bella!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have lots of fun with your rock!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that this one passed customs.
ReplyDeleteI've no doubt they have a special inspector for your packages! I can't wait to see just how that rock does!
ReplyDeleteBella might also be 'particular ' when it comes to rock colours. Whatever happens you can b sure Dui will have hours of fun with it.
ReplyDeleteWow,, very interesting
