Kaitlyn's Adventures with Little Blue

 My Adventure with Little Blue

By: Kaitlyn

Mom, Dad, Little Blue and I went to Panera. After that we went to Target to get groceries. The next day we went to see the movie Oz The Great and Powerful. After that we went to Gino’s East. Little Blue jumped up on the light. He was so exited. Then we went to a friend’s house. When it was Little Blue’s last night with me I gave Little Blue a bath. Then I blow dried Little Blue’s fur. Little Blue was starving after dinner he was still hungry so he had a banana and I made sure that he got a banana each day. I will miss Little Blue.










Maya's Adventures with Flipper


I Had a Party With Flipper  
By: Maya

On Friday, Flipper came to my acting classes. He cried when Charlotte died. Though he was jolly when my friends played with him. [They were lightly throwing him then catching.] When we came home Flipper had to go to the bathroom, so I showed him the way. On Monday, I saw Flipper crying on the floor near my bed. “Flipper, why are you crying?” I said. “YYou lllefft m m m me inn a cccold dddark backpack!” he whined. I slapped myself 3 times. “I am sorry Flipper,” I said. After school Ria came and we decided Flipper needed a wife, so we put out 4 of my bird stuffed animals, Daisy, Feather, Lalaby, and Pinky. After we picked those 4, Julia came over! Then we did a date with Daisy, but right after that, Ria went home! L  Julia and I did the other 3 dates. The way the dates worked was that Flipper and a girl would have dinner, then Flipper would ask some questions (Flipper had to go on a diet after 4 dinners in a row.) After all that, we made a disco party. We turned the lights off, turned on the radio, and put out glow things and we had the party! Just as Flipper was to announce who would be the bride, Julia had to go home. L The next day I remembered to sleep with Flipper so when I woke up, he was doing the cha-cha. Then Flipper sat next to me as we waited for Julia to come over. When Julia came Flipper announced who he would marry and he picked…(drum roll)… Pinky! They had the wedding ceremony with the rings, and guests, and lightshow (made by Julia) and flower throwing (by my brother the flower girl), and they officially married. (Flipper dumped his other 3 girlfriends.) On Wednesday Flipper saw me knit. He asked me if he could knit. I said, “Sure.” When Flipper started knitting I was impressed. I didn’t know he could knit! I asked him where he learned how to knit. He said that Little Blue taught him. Flipper tried to wake me up because I had singing classes, but I was sound asleep so he woke me up. On Thursday Flipper went to my acting classes again with Pinky.






Drew's Adventures with Swinger


My Fun Weekend with Swinger!
By: Drew

First I took swinger out to Rockford where my grandma lives. We played Go Fish, but Swinger didn’t know how to play so he just grabbed the cards and looked at all of them. Then Swinger and I went snowmobiling. We were going about 45 miles an hour, sometimes 50, and rarely 55. I had a helmet on. Most of the time I went on the sled pulled behind the snowmobile. Swinger wanted to drive so he started going, but I pulled him off just in time. Then we went to my other grandma’s house. We saw my little cousin, Nora. Then we came back home. Then this happened.
