Today is April Fool’s Day, and that means lots of pranks. It started out with a letter from Mom.

There was another letter in my mailbox, but this one was no joke. Camofrog moved out of Forest and sent me this goodbye letter.

And now that it’s April, many of the trees are pink.

I then went to Nook’s and the pranks resumed.

Puck’s one-track mind prevented him from comprehending the holiday.

Static reminded me that the Cherry Blossom Festival starts soon; it runs April 5-7. He also told me he wanted to be the biggest April Fool ever.

Meanwhile, Tom apparently knows my secret now.

I then got to meet my newest neighbor, Lobo the wolf.

Kody and Candi were too enthralled by a pill bug to be concerned with April Fool’s Day.

I was about done playing for the night, but I made one last stop at the post office. Phyllis pulled one last prank on me.

It was raining in Forest today. On my way to Nook’s, I saw Candi and I stopped to talk to her. She was pretending to be Saharah the carpet saleswoman.

She asked if I wanted to buy a carpet. I said no, and she got all sad. She wondered how I knew she wasn’t Saharah. Well maybe because she’s lived practically next door to me for ten years? Not to mention a mouse has very little resemblance to a camel? Just saying.

Anyway… I was tired of wearing the skull shirt, so I went to buy something new. The selection wasn’t that good, but I went ahead and bought the blue check shirt. Yeah, maybe it looks like a tablecloth, but then maybe no one will mind if I spill food on it.

I went around town pulling weeds. When I got to the beach, I saw Gulliver lying there.After I woke him up and listened to his spiel, he gave me a shogi piece. I continued on and I looked for the money rock. I couldn’t help but notice how my head goes into the cliff after hitting the rock.

After stopping at the post office, I returned home and took a look at the shogi piece. That’s all for today, see you next time!

The sports fair was held today to celebrate the beginning of spring. The sports fair consists of four events: aerobics, foot race, ball toss, and tug-o-war. The first event, aerobics, starts at 9:00 a.m., and each event lasts two hours. But by the time I played, they were already on the final event, the tug-o-war.

But my mailbox was blinking, so I checked my mail before I headed to the wishing well. I had a letter from Peewee, who has already moved out of town.

I then made my way to the event. The teams were Baabara and Kody against Ursala and Tom. Belle was the flag-waver and of course Tortimer looked on.

Kody was pumped up and he seemed to anger Ursala.

Tortimer seems to be getting too old to even root for the teams. Maybe he should retire, turn over a new leaf, and let someone else be mayor. 😉

I watched the event for a couple minutes, but then I left to go meet my new neighbor, Camofrog.

If you’d like to see what all the events look like, here’s a video that shows them all:
