Maple Ridge, BC, Canada - 8th October 2009

Hi, my name is Yakety Sax, and that is also my theme song.
My greatest wish is to re-enact a Yakety Sax chase scene. In order to acomplish this, I first need to practice by running all over the world. Can you help me?
I also like high altitudes. I would love to climb a mountain as part of my training.
I'm a herd animal, so I don't mind going with the flow and doing whatever you and other toys are doing, whether it be sight-seeing or cooking.

Dear Abby!!!!
Hi, I just got here to California! Right away I met two other toy voyagers, "Marshall" from Prague, and "Midnight Sneaky Puss" from Ohio.
Carolyn's daughters took me outside, it sure is beautiful here! Below Phoebe posed with me up on top. Then we enjoyed my favorite song "Yakety Sax"!
San Diego is great, but I'm a tired Yak,
Until later, Yakety

By: Carolyn
Hi again,
Today Carolyn took me out shopping at the Bevmo... Where they sell, well, various drinks. I posed with the tiny bottles! Then we walked a bit over to the farmers market where I met Carolyn's friend, Victoria who sells these pretty smelling soaps there!
It was nice to see a bit of the city!

Hazard Center, San Diego, Ca., United States of America - 25th October 2009
By: Carolyn
Hi there!
Today we had such a busy afternoon! We went out to Hazard Center to "The Learning Store" and made a "Halloween Countdown ". They look pretty good, don't you think?
Then we walked around the square. We found a huge shark!! He scared me a little but I know I can out run him, (sharks can't run so well on land.)
Next we went shopping and bought some great Halloween costumes for Chloe, Phoebe and Naomi.... They look great! This Halloween will be such fun!

By: Carolyn
Hello!!!
Today we went over to the library. While Carolyn read books, I did some exploring. I found a very interesting suit of armor in the childrens room and a very fancy bench to sit on. It was a nice place, but very quiet! Shhh!!

Del Mar, California, United States of America - 28th October 2009
By: Carolyn
Hi again,
Yesterday we headed up to Del Mar for a workshop. We decorated sugar skulls for "El Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the dead). We start off with just a big skull made of molded sugar. Then we decorated with icing and sparkles. In Mexico they eat these, and I really want to, but Carolyn says they are just "decoration".... Oh Well. Then we walked down through the city to the ocean. The Pacific Ocean sure is windy!... Such a nice day!

San Diego, California, United States of America - 31st October 2009
By: Carolyn
Hi, I've been very busy, but haven't had a chance to update. Last Friday I went to school with Carolyn's daughter. They liked me so much and the kids were so nice! They were wearing costumes for Halloween, so they gave me one.... See my ribbon? I'm a present.
Then on Saturday we went trick-or-treating . We saw some really spooky houses. I liked the Fortune Teller and the skeleton ball!
Look at how much candy they got! I'm going to eat it while they're at school! bye

Palomar Mountain, United States of America - 18th November 2009
By: Carolyn
Chloe brought me to camp with her and we went on a hike. The hike was fun, we went up a mountain and saw a mountain view.
We learned about the beauty of nature and why it's important to take care of the environment.
The second to last photo is of Eagle's nest where we listened to stories, sang songs and played games. The triangle was on the floor of my cabin.

The New Children's Museum, , United States of America - 22nd November 2009
By: Carolyn
Hi again,
We went out to the New Children's Museum in downtown, San Diego yesterday. There were so many fun things there. Right when we walked in there was a giant Trojan Horse. We went upstairs and went inside. Then we played on bouncy little donkeys, found a strange balloon creature hanging from the ceiling, and headed over to the rainbow room. There was also this incredible tower made of a grating. Afterwards we played outside on the playground.... So much fun!

Tijuana, Mexico - 28th November 2009
By: Carolyn
Hiya,
I went on a trip down to Tijuana in Mexico! We took the train down and walked across the border. Just inside the border we found the prettiest cow!
Then we posed by a Mexico sign, and walked into town. In no time we found the Tijuana wax museum. Inside there were many interesting sculptures... including Elvis! Then I stopped for a picture by the famous Tijuana arc! Hasta luego!
