Hello!

It has been very rainy lately! However, I like water in any form it comes in.



We went into Minneapolis today, to eat some Vietnamese food. It was especially yummy! Then we did a little shopping.



We even found this adorable little tea shop!

Hi again!

Happy Mother's Day! Today, we celebrated by taking my host's Mom out to breakfast. We had pancakes and omelettes. Delicious!



Then, we took her out to the quilt shop. I loved seeing all the beautiful fabric!







We even found some Minnesota fabric. How cool!


Look at this big and beautiful quilt that someone is making:

It is very sunny outside today: That means a long walk!





Can you guess where we are going yet?


Check out this cool license plate we found: So true!


We even found a small pond with a fountain! I enjoyed that a lot.


Then, we crossed the bridge over the highway.




We're way up high!


Finally, we have arrived!



This is the Rum River Dam. This is right before it merges with the Mississippi River. I loved the sounds of the rushing water! This place is truly spectacular. There were quite a few people fishing.













Then, it was time for the long walk back home. It's been a great day.

Hello!
This morning, we got a package in the mail. It was Shaunee!
I gave him a warm welcome to the USA.



Today, after work, we got to go outside and play in the rain! 
It was really pouring buckets out there! 



I found a really big puddle!


Be both played in the puddle. Splish Splash!


We walked a little big, because our host had a nice new umbrella for us to walk under, and we found a playground. That's a lot of rules!



Look! Even the playground is flooded!




We went out for pizza later. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted; everything looked SUPER tasty!


My host tells me we're taking a trip this weekend. How exciting~!

Hello!
We took a trip up to Duluth, Minnesota this weekend. It was a loooong car ride: about 4 hours! :O

I got a window seat!


Bye Bye for now, Minneapolis!



Shaunee and I liked watching the cars go by. I wonder where they are going.


We stopped at a Dairy Queen for lunch. (and icecream!)


I got one of these bars.


Then it was back on the road again.




Finally, we arrived at my host's cousin's house. We stayed there to hang out with friends and visit.

Shaunee and I found a piano!




There was a HUGE blackboard in the kitchen! We wrote our names on it.




After it got dark, we went outside to play a game called "monkey ball". I just watched-- I'm not so good at land sports. :/





It was time for the long trip back much too soon. Ooh, look! A barn!



Bye for now!

It's a beautiful day outside today~!



Today, we're going to the store to buy food for dinner.

Of course, my host takes us to Target-- the home of her TV Bullseye.


Shaunee and I get to ride in the cart! 








I found a giant hotdog! How funny!


Now that we have all the ingredients, let's make dinner!


Looks good, doesn't it? Dinner's ready! 

We took a bike ride today in the Elm Creek Park Reserve. It is so sunny outside! Summer is truly here.

Hello!
We welcomed Okuma and Noodles today into my host's home. We are becoming fast friends!



We went to the bookstore today. They should have a lot more marine animal books...... :/



There's a whole travel section for Minnesota books! We did research on where to visit next.



hm?...... what's this?...... Could it be...? ..... 
......
YES! It's ELVIS!!!!! 



(Mommy can I buy this book? Hee hee hee!)



It's been a good day! 

Good morning! It's a beautiful day today, and we are going on an adventure! YAY! 

First we picked up Chloe09! She's another host in the area.
We met Danko and Lilla! Hello, new friends!



We all piled in the car and zoooooom away we went!


Can you guess where we're going?
......
We're going into Downtown Minneapolis!


Ooh, look! You can see the Target Field. It's a famous Baseball Park. You can find more info on it here: Target Field.





There's a Twins game today, so there are MANY people outside on their way to see it. But that's not where we're going!



Here we are! The Como Zoo!




We walk all day to see the animals!


It looks like there aren't any dolphins or whales here. That's good-- I couldn't have stopped myself from trying to set them free! 

Wow! Look at these silly creatures! 


We did find some pretty seahorses though. Aww~! This makes me feel right at home. 



The whole gang ate lunch at a local diner called "Snuffy's". They are infamous for their malts. So we all split a chocolate one. Yum Yum!



We stopped on the way home to get a car wash.
We all piled back in the car and rolled the windows up tight!


Here it's starting!




Whoa~! 


I liked the spraying water! Hee hee hee! It was a good time with all my new friends.

Hello! I'm hopping in the mailbox today!
It is time for me to discover a new place.
Wish me luck, friends! 

uhh.....

Hello? Mom? 
Where am I?



Wait! I'm back where I started in Minnesota??? 
..... but! It's been about three months since I was sent out! 



Host Mom! I need water, please! I feel grimy from traveling for so long.

We visited parts of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota today. It is VERY rainy. Snow won't be far behind!

Since getting sent out to my next host, something went wrong and I got sent all the way back! 

Bullseye is being such a gracious host for letting me stay. I have a new mailing package ready to go once I hear back from my Mom.



We hopped in the car and drove around for awhile.





I like the rain! Any water is good water!







We even passed by the Walker Arts Center.













We saw this building and had to take a picture. Very cool. 



Bye for now!

Halloween is coming up!
OoooOOOoooOoohhHhh~! 

We are helping Host mom create her Halloween costume: She's going as a postcard! Ha!



Whew! Done. What do you think?



We all helped and had a great time making it!

Hello!

My new-found friends and I are checking into the Toy Voyagers website now that it's up and running again. Hooray!

My host and I will update again soon. We are happy to be back!

Bye for now.
