It’s been a busy few weeks for the Irwins, from going to the Steve Irwin Wildlife Gala in Las Vegas for Robert to having an emergency appendectomy and removal of 14 endometriosis lesions in New York City for Bindi. So, of course, the entire family had to celebrate with a trip to Disneyland in California! (We’re exhausted just thinking about it!) When the wildlife conservationists finally returned home to the Australia Zoo, the first thing Bindi’s 4-year-old daughter Grace Warrior did is such an Irwin move.
“Home❤️❤️❤️,” Bindi posted on Instagram, sharing a picture of Grace at home. After traveling around the world, the toddler had to spend some time hanging out with one of her favorite animals: a huge tortoise!

Grace looks adorable in the photo, dressed in a colorful dress with koala bears and other animals mixed in with the floral print, and a pink sweater. Her long curly hair is pulled half up away from her eyes as she leans in close to feed the tortoise a long piece of grass. He walks right up to her, eyes zoning in on the grass, and she is totally fearless. Because there’s no better way to decompress then by hanging out with wildlife! If you don’t live on a zoo, it’s the equivalent of greeting your dogs after a long time away.
Bindi and Robert’s mom Terri Irwin commented on the sweet photo, “There’s no place like it!”
“Aww it’s Gracie and her BTFF ( Best Tortoise Friend Forever ) ❤️ 😂❤️😂,” someone else commented. Another wrote, “She is getting so big and beautiful it’s like watching u grown up all over again 😍😍😍”
Earlier this week, Bindi shared highlights from her trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, including a shot of Grace in a full Cinderella dress as she smiled in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle with her mom and her dad Chandler Powell; a photo of Grace shooting her parents with bubbles in front of the Mickey Mouse roller coaster at California Adventure; and a sweet snap of Grace hugging Princess Tiana.
“I haven’t been sharing a lot here because May has been a truly enormous month, filled with highs and lows,” Bindi wrote. “Here’s a small collection of those moments. ‘I love you’ will never be enough for my family. ❤️”
And it’s clear that the by “family,” Bindi’s also referring to the adorable animal family that call Australia Zoo home.
