First FNF of 2022

Yesterday was Sasha’s birthday, and I made sure to attend his birthday party. I gave him a baby panda that I bought at Nook’s Cranny, and he seemed to appreciate it.

Bones was also at the party to help Sasha celebrate, and he always looks so cute when he gets dressed up.

In the mail, I found a letter from Gulliver. He sent me a hula doll.

Today, Sasha sent me a thank-you note in the mail. He even sent me his photo along with it! That’s the 2nd one he has given me.

At 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. That’s the first FNF of 2022, believe it or not! I last opened my gate on New Year’s Eve. Bran came over, and I showed him my castle and then gave him a quick walkthrough of my space race. Since no one else joined in yet, we raced against each other. I won, but it was a close race!

We visited a few villagers and then did some diving. At one point, we were both chasing the same fast-moving sea creature. We followed it halfway across town, and I eventually caught it. It was a gigas giant clam.

Xavier and Jac joined in, and I showed them the space race. They raced against each other, and Xavier won (because Jac missed a thruster and had to go back). Xavier and Bran then raced, and Xavier won again when Bran missed the space shuttle. 😛 I kinda hate that the races seem to be determined by technicalities. I wonder if I should remove the tasks (other than grabbing and returning the moss). Any thoughts?

Around 11:15, William came over and I showed everyone my AC museum castle. The wet suit in the New Leaf section is a new addition that wasn’t in my original video.

We then headed over to the relocated sumo ring for a five-player sumo match. I surprised myself by actually winning! 😮 We played another round, and this time, Xavier won.

I have to say, I’m pretty pleased with the new location. It’s right in view of the “Welcome to Forest” sign, and the waterfall backdrop is pretty cool too.

Rodney joined in, and since we had six people now, we just had to play a round of 6-player sumo. This time, William won…even though Xavier got pushed outside of the ring without falling into a pitfall. 😂

Rodney shocked everyone by saying that he earned Nook Miles for falling into the pitfall. That meant that was his first time falling into a pitfall! How is that even possible when he’s visited my town several times before? 😛 But congrats on the miles, Rodney!

We spent the rest of the time mainly in three places: Ketchup’s house, the castle, and the beach. We talked about Animal Crossing, video games in general, arcades, and a few other topics. Bran left before 12:30, and I decided to end the session a few minutes after that. Thanks to everyone who came! I had a good time! 🙂

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow.
