Today we went on an adventure to play at some local parks. At the first park, we played on the playground and then took a nice walk along a path through the woods. We played peek-a-boo in the trees. My host family showed me some really neat bat houses that have been put up along the trail. They are the wooden boxes way up in the trees. This gives the bats a place to sleep during the day and having the bats around helps keep the mosquito population under control so the park can be enjoyed more in the summer time. The little girl wanted to show me and my friend Hop, everything in the park. She loves the playground. She is very brave, like me! After our walk, we got back in the car and went to another park. Of course, the first place we went was the playground! We climbed and rode the slide with the little girl and then took pictures in an area that is known for family photo shoots in the park. After this park, we were all tired and wanted to go home, but my host Mom said we had to run errands and said we would play a game. We watched for American flags along our route...whenever you saw a flag, you shouted "Flag!". The little girl is very good at this game. She wanted to get a picture of Hop and I in front of a flag since this is our first visit to the USA. It is not very good, and hopefully we will get a better one another day! Many businesses have an American flag flying in front of their business. Some personal homes also have a flag flying in their yards.
That is all for today! It's been a busy day and time to go hibernate!
