Plastic Pollution

It was such a lovely evening, so after their ice creams, they all decided to go for a lovely stroll along the beach. But it wasn't long before they were stopped in their tracks by lots of rubbish and plastic waste all over the beach! Renee and Shelly couldn't believe their eyes!

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

 The girls were very upset by what they had seen, but they had an idea. On Monday morning they spoke to their teacher Mr Springer. They wanted to take the whole class down to the beach to help clean it up and let everyone know about the damage they were causing to the beautiful beach and wonderful sea life. Mr Springer loved the idea!

"I think what you want to do is so wonderful and very thoughtful, lets all get involved!"

The whole class got to work on making banners collecting boxes from home to help clean up the beach. Then the pupils of Berry Grove School started to make a difference.

"SAVE THE SEALIFE!"
"NO PLASTIC WASTE!"
"KEEP OUR BEACHES CLEAN!"

The Sylvanian Press heard about the Berry Grove School demonstration and came down to the beach to report on it. The pupils couldn't quite believe it, they were going to be in the Sylvanian local news. 

"We at the Sylvanian Press think what you are doing is marvellous Mr Springer!"
"Oh it isn't me, Mr press man, its the children of Berry Grove School, their the ones making the difference!"

The next day, Mr Beaver went to collect the daily newspaper and to his surprise, their was Renee, right on the front page!

"By George! I can't quite believe it!"

Mr Beaver felt so proud of what the children had done. 

"I think its about time us grown ups make a difference too!"

A Place by the Sea

The little ones were going to the lovely Neptune's house for tea and they couldn't wait as they lived in a big beautiful Lighthouse by the sea.

"Oh my goodness, your home is so beautiful!"

Mrs Neptune was at the door to greet them all. It was such a beautiful afternoon, she decided to make them a yummy BBQ tea.

"Now go and wash your hands and change out of your uniforms.
Mr Neptunes heating up the BBQ so tea will be ready very soon"

While Mr Neptune was cooking up a storm on the red hot BBQ, Mrs Neptune served her colourful salads and seasoned vegetables in the biggest Seashells The Beavers had ever seen!

"Oh my goodness, can you imagine the sea creatures who used to live in these massive shells?!"

Tea was so delicious and everyone was absolutly stuffed. That was until Mrs Neptune brought out a platter of scrumptious looking ice-creams. Suddenly, they were not so full after all.

"Mr Neptune, let the little ones choose first!"

What a perfect afternoon it was, finished off with yummy ice-creams and listening to the sounds of the ocean.

"Thank you for all you do, Mrs Neptune. We love you so very much"

The little ones hopped down the cliff side to get a closer look at the sparkling ocean. 

"If we look long enough, do you think we'll see one of those giant sea creatures?"
"Maybe, but our ice-creams will probably melt by then!"

Dadchellor Party

The boys thought it would be nice to throw Mr Walnut a 'Dadchellor' party to celebrate the imminent arrival of the new Walnut family member. So Mr Beaver bought the beers and Mr Neptune brought the cards. They weren't too sure how to play (anything), but they were having fun all the same.

"Thank you Gents, this is just what I needed"

The door bell rang. It was time for the main event.

"Pizza's here boys!"

It'd been quite a while since the boys had got together, they decided to do it a lot more. Pizza and card night every other Wednesday it was. Maybe eventually they'd learn how to play something properly. 

"You boys are the best friends a chap could ask for!"

Out on the Town

Mrs Beaver and Mrs Neptune were very excited to get all dressed up and visit the town, the poshest part of Sylvania. 

"Oh don't we look grand, we fit right in here!"
"Oh yes we do, Mrs Neptune, yes we do!"

First stop the famous Chocolatiers. They could smell the delicious chocolatiness as soon as they stepped off the tram. Mrs Neptune had a particularly strong sweet tooth.

"O my, these are the most delicious truffles I've ever tasted! I'll take 8 please"
"Don't forget we're having afternoon tea next Mrs Beaver!"

The High tea at the Grand department store was famous around Sylvania. The ladies felt like high society sat outside in the the sunshine in there best frocks.

"Could this be our everyday life one day, Mrs Beaver?"
"I'm sure it will be Mrs Neptune, just keep playing that Sylvanian Lottery!"

Later on Mr Beaver came to town to take Mrs Beaver out for a fancy dinner!

"I better not tell him Ive already eaten 8 truffles and afternoon tea with Mrs Neptune!"

The Bistro was the fanciest that the Beavers have ever been to. Mr Beaver didn't know which knife and fork to begin with! Mrs Beaver was regretting the extra cake she ordered with her afternoon tea.

"Are you not hungry Mrs Beaver?"
"Oh… erm, yes of course! I… I was just… listening to the beautiful violinist!"
"Oh yes, superb isn't she"

Pancake Day

The little ones wanted to surprise their Momma and Poppa for pancake day and get all the ingredients themselves from the grocery store. But the maple syrup was on the top shelf, and you can't have pancakes without it!

"Young man, do you think you should be up there?"

With all their groceries in tow, they headed home to make as many pancakes as they could!

"I'll be Chief Pancake Tosser"
"remember what happened last time, Michael? They all stuck to the ceiling!"

They worked so hard, but every time they made a batch of pancakes they burnt them, or Michael accidentally tossed them on the floor. But finally they made the perfect stack. So they drizzled them with maple syrup, grated them with chocolate and banana and took them to their Momma and Poppa.

" We made you these!"

A Land Down Under

The sun was shining and the day was looking beautiful. Mr Beaver couldn't wait to hit the beach and check out the surf along Australia's famous Gold Coast!

"Kowabunga Dude!"

Renee couldn't wait to explore the Australian outback so she joined the summer Kayak Club. She met a new friend, Oliver Periwinkle, who was on holiday with his family too. They kayaked all around the Australian swamps.

"Oh do be careful Oliver not so fast, there could be crocodiles!"

Michael and Jerome were invited to Bruce and Carissa Billabong's home for an authentic Aussie BBQ and play date with Joey and baby Addie. They were such a lovely laid back family.

"G'day boys, lets get this babie going shall we!"

Meanwhile, Mrs Beaver took the opportunity to relax as she had the entire pool to herself, bliss.

"Now this is the life…"

 After a wonderful trip it was finally time to fly home. They'd all had such a wonderful time and spent the whole flight home planning their next trip to Aus!

"Quick inside everyone, it's so cold, brrrrr!"

Leaving on a jet plane

The Beaver Family were extremely excited. They have just boarded a Sylvanian Airways flight,  they will be flying all the way down under to beautiful Australia! 

"Here you are, Michael. I'll pop that into the overhead storage for you"
"Thanks Poppa!"

The Air-stewardess was so lovely and made sure everybody was comfortable, well fed and watered. 

"Poppa it's meal time, you're going to miss your dinner!"

Mr Beaver was so comfortable he fell fast asleep for the entire journey

"ZZZzzzzzzzz"

After many hours in the air, the Beavers arrived in sunny Australia! The were all surprisingly refreshed after such a wonderful flight aboard Sylvanian Air! 

"Lovely to meet you all Beaver Family,
I shall see you all in two weeks, have a wonderful trip!"
