Ziplining!

Today I went on a zipline.  I was suspended by a rope strapped onto the bars keeping me very safe as I rode down the zipline.  "Come on , come on let me go already." I thought to myself.  Woohoo!!!! I went shooting straight down to the other end. The zipline rattled.  "Don't look down ." I thought to myself. But I looked down and saw a dog that tried to get me down from the zipline. Luckily I was to high up.  Then I decided to go back inside.​

​What will my next great adventure be? 

Day 3: My Friend, Kitty

It was Wednesday and already in the afternoon. Julia’s sister Emily was playing the piano very loudly.. Julia’s whole family was downstairs. Julia put me down on the couch and went upstairs. Then she quickly came down in a blue polka dotted robe. In her hand she held a small dark orange and a light orange stuffed animal cat. After about fifteen minutes we had become best friends. We talked for what it felt like and hour. Apparently her name is Kit Kat. 

She has lived in Julia’s bedroom for about 2-3 years. So far I've made 4 new friends. My first friend was Thor, then Lila, Smokey, and now Kitkat. Julia set Kit Kat on the piano. Julia went up stairs. As she left and nobody was looking, I quickly played the piano. Apparently I’m pretty good at it.

Day 2: The Bike Ride

So far the first day with Julia was pretty good. If you didn’t hear, I have a new friend. His name is Thor and he is a small cat with lots of stripes I say he looks like a tiger. Anyway he introduced me to the two other cats that Julia has. There was another striped cat but she was a girl named was Lila. Then there was a huge big furry gray cat named Smokey I thought he was the leader, but Lila explained that he was only the oldest.

“Uh Oh!” I said in my head. Julia was carrying me with two hands like I was the most priceless china doll in the world. She walked up to a big bright blue bike it was huge. I could tell it wasn’t new because there was one dirty scratch on it and there was also a very small dent in the front of it. She gently put me on the front of the bike and made sure I wouldn’t fall out. She slowly took off and started going faster and faster and faster!  

2015/2016 Day 1: Monday - A New Friend

Hello my name Blue. I am, as what humans call me, a stuffed animal. I live in Mr. Funk’s classroom. Today he gave me to a girl for a whole week! I’ve never been kept for a whole week before. Frankly, I am excited, but very worried. What If I get stuck in a tree or get slobbered on by a big dog or, or? Ok, ok, I am kind of exaggerating, but who knows what could happen when kids are involved. Right now, a girl named Julia is holding me, walking to a big silver car. The car is very cold. I can tell because Julia had goosebumps all over her arms. By the way, if you are wondering how I know all these human words, let me explain. When Mr. Funk leaves the classroom and it becomes dark I sneak out and read all his dictionaries.

So let me get back to the subject. We are now at Julia’s house. It’s so big.. We walked in, she immediately walked outside, and set me down in the grass. Suddenly she left and I started to panic. “Boom” “Boom” Boom”. I slowly turned my neck to find two giant eyes glowing and staring straight into my soul. I made no sudden movements - I had learned that on the National Geographic show. Of course, that was bears and this is cats but, what’s the difference? It wasn’t working and I tried to get up but I was petrified. It’s big nose was suddenly in my face. It was wet and slimy. It lay down next to me as if to say, “I’m not scary.”I put my hand out to pet it and he put his forehead in my paw. He was now my friend.
