My Exploratorium Adventure




I joined the human kids of Room 28 on a field trip this week to the Exploratorium in San Francisco and we had a blast! After an hour and fifteen minute bus ride (which I could have done without. Traveling by bus is nothing compared to soaring on the back of a majestic spotted owl), we finally made it to the Exploratorium.  I wasn’t sure what an Exploratorium was, but it seemed like something I could definitely be on board with, being an explorer and all. As we entered the large dome building the kids were buzzing with excitement louder than a swarm of flies (mmm…flies).  Everywhere you looked there were things to touch, things to see, things to hear, things to smell. I mean, leaping lily pads, this place was an adventurers paradise! I definitely wasn't in Lily Pad Hollow anymore! We quickly got to work investigating every station we could, but, unfortunately, the field trip was a quick one so my group of humans and I had to squish some major exploring into a little more than an hour. Oh well. Sometimes short adventures are the best ones. I can't wait to tell Phinn and Croak all about the cool exhibits we saw. Boy, they really missed out! In the meantime, here’s some pics of me with my friends.

Whoa! I'm feeling dizzy...

Hello World!


Hi! I’m Ribbit McFly and I’m no ordinary frog; I’m an adventurer.  

Last year, my best friends, Phinn and Croak, joined me on a journey where no frog has dared travel before – leaving the cattail borders of our small town of Lily Pad Hollow behind. We had quiet the adventure! We met new friends, like Ollie the Owl and Shelly the Turtle to name a few, and we fought off an evil lizard named Lex. Leaping Lily Pads it was scary coming face to face with him. He trapped all the flies and mosquitoes in these big pods made out of spider webs, in hopes that he would be in control of all the animals who ate them. Luckily, he messed with the wrong frogs because we figured out his dastardly plans, gathered up all our courage, and stopped them from happening, with the help of our dear owl friend, Ollie. The bad news is that, while we were able to stop Lex and free the flies, he did escape and we don’t know if he’s still alive and plotting his revenge. Just the thought sends shivers down my spine. Let’s just hope he didn’t survive his escape. I guess we’ll cross that lily pad when we come to it. Now that that adventure is over with, I’ve been itching to go on more adventures, which I totally plan to. I mean, who could go back to living with a bunch of boring ol’ frogs when there’s a great wide world out there to see? Adventures await!
