Do You Smell Something?

Foo just loved trying on all the animal hats in Wisconsin. They were so fuzzy! But he just wondered what that awful smell could be.

Big Bottle of Tequila!

After their journey to the top of the Pine Mountain ski jump, Foo and the cousins really needed a good stiff drink, so they went to check out this liquor store, but whoa... how big would the bottle of Tequila need to be to hold that guy??

I Was Way Up Where?

After finally getting his little feet back on solid ground, Foo took a moment to look up and muse on how high he really really was! Wow!

Looks Like They Made It!

Although the climb was tough and a little bit scary at times, Foo and friends all made it to the top successfully! Whoa that's a long way down!
To celebrate their high victory, Foo and all the cousins got together at the top for a group photo! Nice job Courtney, Victoria, Will, Jeff, Katie  and Rita!
The even better rewards were the views of the other ski lift platforms...
and even the lakes far in the distance! High places make for good views!

I'm Climbing What?

When Foo turned to look back up the hill from the outpost, he knew those cousins of Victoria's were plotting something while they stood at the base of the ski jump...
When he got back over to them he learned that they want to climb it!! All the way up there? Foo looked desperately for some No Trespassing signs, but there were none about so up they all went!

Pine Mountain Perspective

On Foo's trip to the UP, he decided to take a trek up to the famous Olympic-qualifying ski jump at Pine Mountain to check out the fabulous views
He went out on the ledge as far as he could go to show how pretty the northern forests could be.
But when Foo looked down the stairs and how far the ground was beneath it, now that was another story! He's not afraid of heights really, just falling. He's fragile!

They See Me Pumpin'

Foo just loved taking a spin on this antique exercise contraption. It was a really fun ride, up and down, up and down. He was just too scared to actually plug it in, so it was simply Foo-powered fun!

Hello Deery!

Foo found this painting in the garage of Victoria's grandparents. As the story goes, she painted it for her grandfather so he'd stop hunting. Too bad for the deer he didn't, but he did have it framed and looked at it as a reminder to be nice to rats with antlers once in a while.

Say Ya to Da UP, Eh?

Foo wanted to show all those people really bad at geography that the state of Michigan, does, indeed have two separate parts, thus the state is more than just a mitten. He finds that the Upper Peninsula, or UP, often gets forgotten... but that's the only part of Michigan he's been to, so... remember it!

Foo Fan Photos

Foo made friends on the plane from Denver to Milwaukee and one of them, Lisa, took this picture of Foo and Victoria so she could remember them. Thanks Lisa!





And thanks, ex-mayor Mike for this one! It was fun sitting with you and not dying in a fiery plane crash. 

Where Are the Mountains?

Foo's first trip to Denver, CO, and all he got to see was this... stupid delay in Houston... At least he made his flight to Milwaukee.

Sunrise Over Houston

Foo had to get to the airport pretty pretty early to start his journey into the great white north for a sad but good visit. He really loved seeing the sunrise over the tarmac...

Silly Friends!

Regardless of any back steps and mistakes, Foo and Vanessa are like two peas in a pod. So much fun! 

Bowling for Foo

Foo had so much fun playing with his friend Vanessa that he just couldn't help smiling up at her!
That was until she tried to make him into a bowling ball... He just not that round so that didn't go well.

Playing Telephone

Foo is so popular that he always gets phone calls from friends far and wide, so he always keeps his cell phone on hand to manage his calls.
But today, he had so many calls, that he had to hire a secretary, Miss Vanessa, to help him field his phone frenzy!

Footeria!

Foo wanted to take a moment and introduce his brand-new game called Footeria! It's based on the traditional Loteria Mexican bingo game! And boy is it fun! Check out the Foo-Chandising page for more information and how to get your own!
Foo always likes to play on his own card, but he's a little stingy with the money.
It's fun for the whole family and people of all ages for up to 11 players!

Psychedelic Foo

Who knows what was in that fish spit??? Whoa...

Friend Rescue!

Although Foo was shaken up by the spitting fish, his friend Vanessa was right there to save him. She picked him up...
...gave him a good hug...
...and Foo was made happy again!

Mysterious Fish

Foo was just minding his own business when this fish dude came along and spit on him. How rude!
Foo would just like to know if anything got in his hair? Or does it still look pretty?

Ice Cream Man!

Foo knows one of the best things about summer is the ice cream man, so as soon as Foo heard that music, he was first in line at the truck getting his Snickers ice cream on.

When Nature Calls

While out playing in the fields, Foo started to imagine he was a wild lion hunting in the African wilderness for his prey. He's not too good at camouflage though. He's working on it.
Once he's given up the hunting idea, he just romped and played and frolicked in the flowers. Oh what a beautiful day!

Up a Tree

Foo got overly excited with climbing this tree and apparently just didn't know his own strength. Halfway up, it just cracked and fell over! Oh the power of Foo.

Juicy Goodness

Since they were now best friends again, Vanessa even offered to share her juice with Foo and ahh... it was good!

Friends Again

After all was said and done, Foo and Vanessa made up and they were friends once again! Phew! That was close. Foo is glad that is was all just a misunderstanding!

Something Foo Said?

All was happy fun and games until somebody said something and Vanessa got mad. The result? Foo getting put in the trash. Maybe he said something dirty!

Rockin' Vanessa Style

Foo knows that Vanessa rocks, and Vanessa feels the same about Foo, so they just had to get a picture with a rock to show how awesome they both are.

Horsing Around!

As Foo and Vanessa played and played, suddenly Vanessa declared that Foo should give her a horsey ride. So on she went and Foo handled it nicely, but he may have to go to the chiropractor now.

Socks the Thing

Fashion-forward Vanessa knows all the best points of style for the fall, including fabulous pink socks, shiny shoes, and her very own personal Foo. He makes the outfit!

Visitation Fun!

Foo's first friend to show up was his puppy friend, Winchester. Foo greeted him at the door, but all the dog could do was make sure Foo's feet were clean!
When Foo's Vanessa showed up she brought a whole group of people with her, so boy was that a full house.
All was well until everybody just decided to pile up on Foo. He loves a good party, but this was excessive. Still, he made the best of it and had a good time.

Housekeeping!

Foo was so excited at the idea of having people over to his little Foo house that he opened up all the windows and aired it out.
Then his noticed a leak in the roof and went on up to fix it before his friends arrived.

Not Cinderella

When the prince came to visit looking for Cinderella, as hard as Foo tried, he just couldn't get the slipper to fit anywhere...
not from any angle. Sorry prince, Foo is not your Cinderella this time.
