Grace Irwin is becoming more like her grandpa, the late Steve Irwin, every day. Bindi Irwin and her husband Chandler Powell just shared a sweet new video featuring heartwarming moments from a recent family vacation, and the 2-and-a-half-year-old reminds us so much of the Crocodile Hunter it hurts!
“Join us on our latest adventure… 💛” Bindi captioned the video. In it, the Australia Zoo conservationist revealed they were filming from their conservation property in outback Queensland.
“We are enjoying some beautiful time together as a family, and I wanted to share with you some of my very favorite moments,” she says in the intimate family footage. In one scene, Grace wears a big green sunhat, a floral shirt, and khaki pants as she swings outside as exotic animals hang out in the distance.
In another, Grace is in a sunshine yellow shirt with her hair pulled up in a half ponytail. Bindi shows off Grace’s little boots, which match Bindi’s and Powell’s. “Everybody has matching boots now!” Bindi says as Grace looks on. This family just keeps getting cuter every day!
One of the cutest parts of the whole video shows Grace walking along a dirt path. She is wearing her khaki pants and boots, this time paired with a pink koala t-shirt and a brown bucket hat. As she walks, she is fanning herself with a branch of leaves.
“Grace is learning how to swoosh the flies off her face using her little leaves,” Bindi explains. So cute! She won’t let a little thing like pesky flies stop her from having an adventure!
The camera zooms in, and Grace says, “Crikey!” in the most adorable toddler voice you’ve ever heard. That’s one of Steve’s famous catchphrases, and it just sounds so sweet coming from Grace.
In another scene, she sits with an equally-adorable pug (presumably the Irwins’ senior pug, Stella). As she pets her, she says, “Hi little mate!” She’s so friendly and sweet to animals — another thing she inherited from Steve and the rest of the Irwins.
People commented on Bindi’s cute video, sharing their love for little Grace. “I’m sure Steve would be so proud of his precious little ‘Crikey’!!” one person wrote.
“Her “Crikey” is so adorable! ❤️❤️” someone else commented. Another said, “Her little Aussie accent 😍.”
“Omgoodness … it’s so much fun watching her grow up! ❤️” another person wrote.
Grace calls Steve “Grandpa Crocodile,” which is the cutest family nickname ever. In an emotional tribute to her dad in Sept. 2022, Bindi wrote, “Grandpa Crocodile, I know you would’ve been the most incredible grandfather because you were such an extraordinary dad. Thank you for being an amazing guardian angel for Grace.” Are you crying yet?!
Bindi’s mom Terri Irwin also believes Grace takes after her late husband. In a Jan. 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight, she revealed, “I think she’s got that determination that Steve had and that connection with wildlife,” Terri said of Grace. “Because it is weird to see animals just gravitate to her. So she’ll go out in the morning in the stroller, and all the kangaroos just gather around her like they’re having a meeting.”
She added, “Oh my word, the koalas … literally climb out of their trees to come see her.” So cute! They can tell she has that kind-hearted Irwin spirit. And now, it seems like she has the Irwin catchphrase too!
