Sacramento, here we come! This adventure required a few hour bus ride, but hanging out with friends always makes the time fly by (mmm…
flies). Anyway, when the Fourth Grade humans and I got to the
Capital, I couldn't believe my eyes. I mean, I thought Yellow
Jacket Secondary School was big, but this place was enormous! We got to take a
tour and learn about how government works, which was pretty cool. Then we ate
lunch outside on the grass in 96 degree weather (yikes). I scarfed down my fly
sandwich right before this yummy looking moth landed on Mrs. Hall's hand. I guess it was
that moth’s lucky day because I was too full to even think about eating him. I'm pretty sure I scared Mrs. Hall though. Look at her silly face.She thought
her new little friend was going to be my lunch. Ha! Not today, little moth. Not today.
When lunch was over, we
took a stroll around the building and found a small pond nearby that I could
cool off in. I even got to meet some new turtle friends. Their names were
Donatello and Raphael. They were pretty nice, but they kept talking about being
ninjas or something. I had no idea what they were saying.
After bidding my new friends farewell, we all got back
on the bus and drove to Sutter’s Fort. It was super awesome getting to see all
the old pieces of history! I felt like a time traveler or something. It kinda made me wonder what life in the Hollow was like a long time ago, like when R.T. Hopkins was alive. It must've been so different.
After a while, it was time to crowd back onto
the bus destined for school. I can’t
wait to share what I learned about Sacramento with some of my friends back at
the Hollow. I think Mayor Cornelius might get a kick out of how the humans run
things.
See you on the next adventure!
Hiya friends! I just got back from an amazing adventure to Disneyland! I heard from the humans that this was the happiest place on earth and they weren't kidding! As soon as we entered the park and made our way down the bustling main street, we were met with a cheerful marching band led by a big mouse with round ears. He was the strangest looking creature I have ever seen (being so giant and all), but everyone seemed to love him, so I knew he was okay. The music the band played was so happy and upbeat that it reminded me a lot of the music in Lily Pad Hollow. I didn't recognize any of the tunes they were playing, but that didn't stop me from leaping to the beat. Next, we walked all around the park, checking out the rides whizzing by and taking in all the sights and sounds of this amazing new place. Let me just say, I have never seen tiny humans more happy. They were screaming and squealing with delight as they jumped onto the rides and shoveled handfuls of brightly colored cotton candy into their mouths. It looked so delicious, but they didn't have any fly flavored cotton candy, so I decided to take a pass. I really enjoyed a place called ToonTown with all its silly houses and cars to ride on. It almost felt like a crazy dream or something. One of my favorite rides in the whole park was called Splash Mountain. There were so many new animals to meet there! I mean, I got to see a fox, a bear, a rabbit, some opossums, and so many more. There were even a few frogs there. They did seem a little weird though. I kept trying to say hello and talk to them, but it was almost as if they were ignoring me and they kept repeating themselves. Oh well. Maybe that's just how they do things at Splash Mountain. I did get to meet some friendlier animals throughout the park. One was a giant orange dog, one was a happy tiger who kept bouncing and bouncing around, and I got to meet that big mouse with the funny red shorts. It was truly a magical experience, but it's good to be home! See you on the next adventure!
