Tiny Tackers visit Glenview
Glenview were lucky enough to have a visit from children from the local Tiny Tackers Childcare Centre for some Christmas carolling. They shared some songs with us, and we shared a BBQ and icecreams!!! A great morning was had by all...
Christmas Pageant 2011
This year some Glenview residents joined the Delta Therapy Dogs at the Hobart Christmas Pageant, and what a day it was! We made a great contribution to the pageant and even snuck a few lollies to the children watching. Some of the dogs got a bit tired in the parade and hitched a ride on the wheelchairs which just added to the fun and you can be sure that everyone watching knew we were from Glenview and we love dogs!
Next year Skye is planning a float for the parade so get out your Christmas costumes and watch this space!
Making Rocky Road at Glenview
