What is this Wonderful Place?

Hey, friends! How are you? Do you remember me, Fajita? Has it been a really really really long time since Yeti let me do a post? Does it feel like forever to you, too? And does this give you a really warm feeling like ice cream on a summer day or hot cocoa by the fire when the rain is pouring down? Does it bring up lots of memories?

Do you know who got to put their Memories in this game? Is it one friends’ Memories or lots of people’s? What was inside those wrapped presents? What are the names of all their bug friends? Where did they travel that they got to see so many cool insects and elephants and other creatures? Why are those yellow fish so happy? Speaking of people, who are all of these friends?

Did they know they were going to get to live in this cool apartment building game with all these windows? How did Flash get their name? Do you think they’re just really fast or a good photographer or full of electricity like lightning? How come lighting and thunder only happen some places? Does it happen really fast, like how fast this fun thing spins around?

Did you know that if you can get a good friend (like Taco) to run super-dooper fast on top of this spinny thing and you just hold on at the start and then let go… that you get flung off really far? Do you ever bump your head or your whole body when doing stunts? How do Snitch & Twitch do it as action heroes? Do you think they do training for it? Does it involve trains? I know how to drive them, so do you think I’m ready? Do you think this toy could help me?

Did you know that it has a button that makes balls pop out of the top unexpectedly? Can you believe I caught that yellow one before it started racing down the track? Can you please not tell my mama that I got booped in the face by it and then squooshed by it and then dragged partway down the spiraly part with it before I thought to let go? Also, do you know how FUN that is? Or how much I enjoyed this cool toy?

Have you ever raced marbles down a track before? Don’t you love how they go fast-fast-fast and then “klunk” at the bottom? Did you know that our friend Scottie the Squirrel’s landlord had one of these when he was growing up? Do you think he’s as old as these guys? How old do you have to be to be called a “greybeard”? Also, do beards turn grey overnight or do they creep up on you?

Do you think that black sheep have any wool? And who’s holding the bags full? And why is it three of them? And how cute is our sheep friend, anyway?

While we’re on the subject of cute, do you know little Bunny Foo-foo? Why does he hop through the forest bopping field mice on the head? Did the field mice steal his supper or play a trick on him? If they didn’t deserve it, is Bunny Foo-foo just mean? Or do you think he needs to spend some time with the Nice People’s Club? Do you think he’ll take some advice from Taco and me?

Can you believe how much fun Taco and I had in this wonderful place? Don’t you want to come here yourself? I should warn you- it’s a place that’s fun no matter how small you are. Do you have plans for joy and excitement this summer? Will you tell me all about it?

Taco and I have to go- we just found this basketball and need to hit the courts. Do you think if we practice very hard we can be in the NBA finals next year?

-Fajita (and Taco)
