I look forward to Thanksgiving every year because it's a chance for me to really think about the great things in my life. And let me tell you, I have a lot to be thankful for! Starting with my parents and Zippy, for putting up with me constantly leaving the Hollow (sorry guys, I've had some important missions to take care of). Then there's my best friends in the whole wide world - Phinn and Croak. I couldn't have gone on any of my amazing adventures without them. I'm thankful for my new friends, Ollie, Ophelia, the Soarington children, Shelly, Myrtle, and Otis. They make sure that life is anything but boring. Lastly, I am thankful for all of you! It's been so incredible having my stories printed into books and sharing my adventures with people all around the world.
Okay, enough of the sappy stuff. As well as being thankful, Thanksgiving is also about FOOD! At sundown on Thanksgiving day, all the frogs of Lily Pad Hollow get together for an amazing feast of roasted grasshoppers, mashed sow bugs, and fly pie. Mmmmm! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! It's the one time of year that I eat until I nearly pop! Then I waddle home and curl up in my bed for a long, long snooze.
The next morning, it's tradition that all us young frogs play Lily Pad Tag and race our pet snails. My snail, Smudge, and I have been practicing at home, but I'm doubtful he will win any races this year. He'd rather slide in circles than follow the track. Oh, well. He gets so excited just to participate and see the other snails, so it's all worth it.
I hope your holiday is as amazing as mine is sure to be! See you on the next adventure!
