03/29/2005: "I HEART HI-5 FANS"

Aloha all!! I just posted this in my Yahoo Group...and I wanted to share it with all of ya'll too!!

Love ya!!

FIRST EPISODE...

So we finished our first episode...YEY!! It felt so great to be back in front of the camera,
and on our set and all that good stuff. It really felt as if we never left. I was really proud
at how all five of just fell right back into it! It's been 2 years since we last filmed...can you
believe that!! We have all grown so much(for the best)...the fact that we've been
touring with each other for awhile now and have become really great friends(we all hang
out outside of work on a regular basis:)) you can just see how relaxed we are with each
other and with our "Hi-5" selves...it's really awesome and I am so excited for the new
season to come out...you won't be dissapointed. Even our outfits are cuter!! How crazy is
that?!?

4 DAY WEEKENDS ROCK!!

So it was Easter this past weekend and we had a LOOOOOONG weekend. It was really nice.
We've been going non-stop since we've been here, so it was really great to get some time
off. Most of the gang hung out here in Sydney(I'm so stoked that the girl's were able to
see Dave Matthews Band...they were so bummed when they had heard the concert was
sold out....good things happen to good people:))...I ended up going to Melbourne with my
best friend who is here visiting with us...and we had a blast!! It was so cool hanging out in
a new city!! We stayed in a really nice hotel on Fitzroy Street in St. Kilda...it was a busy
street with lots of restaurants with outdoor seating and clubs and stuff, we just sat outside
of a really nice cafe and people watched the whole time...it was AWESOME! I love people
watching....so many interesting characters out there..all with such different stories..it's so
interesting to me.

Of course...another cool thing about Melbourne is that it has AMAZING SHOPPING!! For
those of you who know me...and well, that's all of you...I LOVE SHOPPING!! And boy did I
do a lot of it this weekend!! I won't get into it..but it was lots of fun..and my closet is very
happy right now(I'm not sure how my suitcase will feel after this trip though:))

The weather was beautiful in Melbourne and I really couldn't have asked for a better
weekend. We also checked out the Crown Casino there( I had to for my Grandma and Dad)
and it's HUGE!! So many things going on. I didn't play there though, because they didn't
have any of the games that I Iike and they didn't have "Let it Ride" which is my all time
favorite. Plus is was so super busy!! Imagine everyone in Vegas going to one Casino at
the same time...that's what it felt like(well, kind of I guess.) We also tried to go Bowling
while we were there, but for $15 a game each person..we decided to pass:)

All in all..the trip was great!

BACK IN STUDIO

We had a photo shoot today. And it was a lot of fun. It was the perfect work day after a
long weekend. We wore all of our new Song of the Week outfits, and LOVED BEING IN
THEM!! You would've laughed at us girls because we were so giggly pretty much the whole
time because we felt so special in our new outfits. We also got a chance to listen to a
rough cut of all the songs that we recorded with Chris Harriot a couple of weeks ago. It
sounds really great!! Getting back to us growing in the past 2 years...we blend so much
better together now! We've really connected, and it's showing!! We're all so proud of the
work that we've done so far here in Australia and we can't wait to share it with all of you!!

TIME FOR BED...

Okay, that's it for me for right now...I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!! We're
thinking about you here....and we love you all very much!!

Take care

Love love,
Kimee
