Friday Night Forest for March

Last night, I went to visit Big Top and he told me to pull his trunk!

Big Top: Pull my trunk! Seriously, make yourself at home, lil top!Tonight, I found Sprinkle on the metal bench near my central park.

Sprinkle: Time to take a load off! Why don't you sit next to me for a bit?She asked me to join her, so I did.

Sitting on the bench with Sprinkle.I put up a new design on my face-cutout standee: It’s a Butch faceboard created by Beth. It’s available on the QR Codes page if you’d like it. Thanks, Beth!

Sticking my face into the Butch faceboard.At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Even though it’s Friday the 13th, I didn’t dress up as Jason this time. It’s Mohawk McClover season, after all. BranDex came over, followed by a green Squishy!

Squishy from Cosmic has just arrived in Forest.Then Merka from Bribs also joined in, so I had a full house…literally. Merka was enamored with the picture of Tabby.

BranDex, Squishy, Jeff, and Merka.Merka merged into me, pushing me into BranDex.

I'm feeling a little squished.In the basement, Merka tried out my throne. At least the one that doesn’t flush.

Merka sitting on the throne.Once we were done, we headed out to the island.

Riding the boat out to the island.We started out with an official hide-and-seek tour. I found two of the animals, including Lyman. He and I were wearing matching shirts.

Lyman: Nuts... You got me!We ended up with a silver Tortimer award. Next, we went on a fossil-finding tour. I hadn’t done this tour in a long time, and I forgot how it worked. There are eight houses in total (two sets of four). Each set has one example house and one display house. You have to dig up fossils around town, then put them in display houses exactly as they are shown in the example houses. It’s a time-consuming process, and we failed. Badly.

After that, we went on the labyrinth (maze) tour. We came close, but we failed once again.

Tortimer: Looks like you ran out of time! Guess I'll be keeping my medals for now.The only other tours available were diving tours, and those are no fun. So we stuck to what we were good at: Hide and seek. We played three more times, winning gold Tortimer awards each time. Each game only took about a minute each, that’s how good we were doing.

Goldie: Oh, rats! You found me!So despite the two failures, we still scored some medals for the night. We then took the boat back to Forest.

Leilani: Ye be sendin' me mixed signals here, lad! If ye wanna go home, sit down in the boardin' area, yar?Back in town, Merka was trying to trick someone into falling into a pitfall, but nobody fell for it. So she took the plunge into her own pit.

Merka in a pitfall.Squishy went home, and I jumped off the cliff for some swimming and diving.

Jeff: Geronimoooo!After a little while, I ended the session for the night. But I had a dozen baskets of perfect peaches to sell, so Merka let me sell them in her town.

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 324,000 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?Once I got back home, I noticed a gold rose missing. Uh-oh.

A missing gold rose from my path.Have a good weekend, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow.
