beach fossils

we went to blooming point beach and collected rocks, shells and driftwood.  i found my first piece of sea glass.  and a walking stick.  maybe it was from the titanic.

fire hall visit and story.

today we visited the fire hall. i think this is the best thing we did today. we got to meet chief kirby. he was really nice. always remember to stop, drop and roll if a fire catches on you. always know two ways out of every room. people, listen to this! we went in a fire truck. it was really cool. all together, a firefighter's gear weighs 45 pounds. firefighters are volunteers, so i can be a firefighter and still be an astronaut or robot factory worker.

here is an alien firefighter story about zoombloss. one thing about zoombloss is that he always wanted to be a firefighter. he is great, actually. he's been working as a firefighter for seven years nonstop. his friend pear-la-tron helps him. one time they had to rescue an earthling. they were very frightened of earthlings. they didn't know what earthlings were. earthlings, they said, had very sharp, very pointy fangs and they ate blood from aliens. and they had very pointy toenails and fingernails, almost like razors and they were afraid that the nails would dig into pear-la-tron's beak just from touching. zoombloss said "i don't think we should go, pear-la-tron." pear-la-tron said "i feel the same way."

but they went anyways.

they went to earth. zoombloss was afraid that grass was dangerous because he had never seen it before. so he ended up flying over the grass in his ufo. his spaceship looks like a hamburger. he crashed right through the roof of the earthling's house. he was afraid that the house was dangerous so he ended up flying through it. he was afraid that cupboards were dangerous so he ended up smashing them. he was afraid that shingles were dangerous so he ended up breaking the whole house.

the earthling had actually been tricked by the fire alarm because her alarm was very sensitive so that when it smelled the fireplace it went off. after all the smashing, the roof fell on the earthling and she had to go to the hospital. the ambulance had to come. zoombloss was too afraid of the earthling so he didn't take her to the hospital.

remember, everybody. do not behave like zoombloss the firefighter.

in the rain

mama needed to mail some stuff. so we tried orienteering. daddy and i made a map of the neighbourhood. i drew a different shape for every special place we would find. i rode my scooter and made punches with the hole punch when i found the spots. one place was the coffee shop, mama bought me a foamy milk with chocolate drizzle.
