Okay, okay. I didn't ride a real dragon, but I did ride on a pretty cool dragon train this week when the humans took me to Happy Hollow Park and Zoo. I had never been to a Hollow other than Lily Pad Hollow before and this one did not disappoint! There were the most bizarre animals there. I felt like I was on another planet! I got to see something called a leopard (boy, I wouldn't want to come across that big cat in the wild), some leaping lemurs, and a swinging squirrel monkey (he was my favorite because he could use his tail to swing around - it was so cool!). Along with the animals, the park had a play structure where I could leap and bound about. They had a really big playground, but you had to be a certain height to play and I was not even close to being that tall! Maybe if I keep eating my flies and algae I will :) Lastly, there were some pretty awesome rides at the park, including the dragon train I mentioned earlier. They even made a ride just for me (well, maybe it wasn't just for me, but it was about frogs). See you on the next adventure!
The summer fun continues! A few days ago I joined some of my human friends at Gilroy Gardens Theme Park. We rode in giant spinning artichokes, relaxed as we floated down a river surrounded by colorful flowers, spun in circles (faster than my pet snail, Smudge) on a red ripe strawberry, rode up and down on a happy little carousel, and chugged through the redwoods on a steam train. It was plant-tastic (Hee-hee, couldn't help myself there). Thankfully, where there are lots of plants there are lots of - you guessed it, BUGS! For lunch I sampled an array of flies, ants, and red dragonflies (yeah, I thought it was weird that they were red too and they tasted a little spicy). Just another cool experience to add to my collection! See you on the next adventure!
Would you believe me if I told you that I came face to face with lions, zebras, monkeys, giraffes, and cheetahs this week? Well, you better believe it because it's true! No, I didn't travel to Africa - I went to the Safari Park in Southern California. That's right! I, Ribbit McFly, went on a safari (never thought I'd say that!) :) It felt almost like a dream as the tram took us through a land filled with exotic animals. And I got to get really close to them - I mean, really close! I almost touched them!
Thankfully, the humans reassured me that the animals were safely locked in enclosures so I didn't have to worry about being eaten. Phew! The only downside was the super sticky summer heat. Good thing I found a pond to cool off in. It had the biggest lily pads I had ever seen and I had a blast jumping all over them! It was awesome! See you on the next adventure!
