Travelog for: Snuggles

After I met the other TVs we were all told to go find something to do because our host was busy.  I didn't know the others very well yet so I went outside to play by myself.
I had a great time and found a swing set on the patio.  At least i think it was.  It had all kinds of neat twirly rides and even played music while I was swinging.







These last 2 rides were super fantabulous -- they spun around and around and made me feel like I was climbing down but I didn't move!

Tibipanda arrived today and met me and Bumble.  Bumble is leaving tomorrow so we went outside to see what he has been doing.


He asked us to fly up into a big tree to help him pollinate but Snuggles and I climbed the tree instead.

Today was a BLUSTERY day!  Today TibiPanda and I met a new friend and we went outside to play.  We did not get far because the wind had blown leaves and flowers all over the ground.  It was raining flower petals.



I am with TibiPanda and Winnie the Pooh

Today we got to travel.  We got a nice comfiy spot on the dash of the truck where we could see out the window.



Soon after we started on our voyage it started to storm.  We were worried it would be a very stormy trip.



We drove right through the storm and soon it was nice and clear again.



We drove into some very steep mountains and wourpet told us we would be climbing right up over top of them.


and we did



and there was snow up on top of the mountains too!


The first town we came to was Rangely, Colorado.

The next town after Rangley was Dinosaur.  Wourpet said there were lots of dinosaur around and we saw 2 of them.  It was very strange because the dinosaur we saw were in corrals.






Dinosaur is a very small town with only about 300 people and almost that many dinosaurs.  It's funny, though, because on the fences where the dinosaurs are there is a sign that says 'No Pets'

We arrived at Vernal Utah not long after we were in Dinosaur.  They are close together and the Dinosaur National Monument is in between.
The first thing we saw as we came into town was another Dinosaur.  This was a very big pink one!

Today was super awesome!  I got to go boating on the river and I even took the boat out for a ride all by myself!

Today was spring clean-up day and we helped pull an old hedge up and pile it on the street.  Then a big truck came along and a loader loaded it up and hauled it away.

Today we went ino the mountains -- they are called the Bookcliffs -- to Highline Lake and Mack Mesa Lake.  We had a picnic there and it was very cold and windy.

Today we went for a long drive up on top of Grand Mesa to a little town called Colbran and up to Vega Lake State Park.  Grand Mesa is the largest flat top mountain in the world and we drove along the top of it for many miles.  I was traveling with my buddies so we are sharing pictures so you can see everything we saw.  There was still snow on top of the mountain at the lake.

We went to Murdochs today to get some plants for the garden.  There were so many to choose from.
Wourpet seemed to know what she wanted though and she left me and the other TVs to wander around and smell the flowers.



Once she had her plants picked out we got to ride in the cart.



But she sure didn't leave us much room.

After we unloaded the plants out of the truck Wourpet said she had a surprise to show us.
She showed us a picture on her camera of some little baby Robins that have just hatched.



She said if we were very quick and very quiet and didn't touch anything she would let us have a peek into the nest to see the babies.



They were so cute.  After I got down from the tree I saw some ducks that also have a nest in the garden.

I am getting packed up and getting my book ready for traveling again but today I got a very big surprise.

First we had a Birthday Party for JamaBanaDukLuv and had a lot of fun playing games, fortune telling with a crystal ball, and giving JamaBana the royal bumps. 





But that wasn't the big surprise!

Then we went outside and roasted marshmallows at the fire.  That was really super fun and so yummy!





But that wasn't the big surprise!



My buddy Tibipanda came over at the marshmallow roast and said he had something for me.



And he took off his special Toy Voyagers shirt and laid it on the rock.




And then he helped me put it on and he said it was for me for being such a good friend all month and doing so many things with him.



And he gave me a big hug -- I felt so special.



And then we showed Lucky-Ducky ('cause he was the only one watching) and he said that was really nice.



and THAT was the big surprise!

Today several of us were getting packed and ready to go to our next hosts and Wourpet said "Not so fast'  She said all our boating and yard work and roasting marshmallows had gotten us more than just a little dirty.

She said we were going to have to have a bath before we were going anywhere.



But then she did something very strange.
She pulled out some little socks and she told us to crawl in.
I climbed in fast when she told me the sock was to make sure my stuffin' didn't come out in the bathwater.



Then Tibipanda climbed into his little sock.



And JamaBana climbed into a big sock.




Wourpet put us into the bathwater and it felt very strange.  Then I heard the humming noise and realized it was a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub.




From the bath we went into a very soft warm drying room that tossed us all about but we weren't scared all snuggled up in the sock.



Then we crawled out of our socks -- all clean and dry with all our stuffing!





No I am going to finish up my journal and head to Virginia.

Guess what? I arrived today in Virginia! I heard some noise outside of my luggage...

...and look who was there to greet me!

I had a good trip, but I am happy to be here now!
