Travelog for: Myka

Myka is a sweet little bear, just a bit shy, who looks forward to seeing the world and experiencing new things!

Myka enjoyed visiting the Neosho River to see the fall foliage!

Myka met three little princesses on their way to a Halloween ball!

Myka found the No Excuses zone today, right next door to Sweet Tomatoes!

I made it to Oklahoma City at the same time as Charles (the bear). We got to meet several others - Toki (bunny), Masataku (panther), and Paul (sheep). I can't wait for this weekend because we're going to Kansas for the Emerald City Steampunk Expo! I am so excited!

My host Amelia has a memory book that she keeps various things in as a keepsake. I helped put a bunch of stuff into it and she says there will be more stuff added after this weekend once we make more memories together.

I haven't been here long, but I'm already feeling so welcome! I met Toki's bestfriends Fleece (sheep) and Mully (lion). They are about my size too! Mully is short for Mulvane. He's a pink lion who was named after the city he came from. Fleece is a pez dispenser. They are both so sweet... and funny!

I miss home, but I'm going to have a great time this weekend with my new friends.

I really enjoyed the Emerald City Steampunk Expo! We were there all weekend. We took photos and attended a lot of seminars. The best part was all the people and Airship crews we met!

Cpt. Cedric Greyhawk Whittaker of Airship Isabella and Ambassador Mordecai Hale posed in a professional photo with me and the other Toyvoyagers who went to the Expo with me.

Airship Isabella are wonderful people! They make and sell really awesome Steampunk items. Not only that, but they share resources! They are more than happy to answer questions, give you advice in making your own stuff, and love seeing what you can make.

I highly recommend checking out their website and forums. They were such a highlight to meet!

The rest of the photos are of me (and the other TV's) at the convention. Cpt Amelia of Airship Horizons (our host) took the other photos.

We started making Steampunk Christmas Ornaments! These are turning out so cute. We made bottle caps, a bell key, some light bulbs, and some tiny baubles.

And I got to make a cute red scarf for myself! It's starting to get cold here in Oklahoma, but no snow yet.

I enjoyed making more Steampunk xmas ornaments for the tree! We'll be putting up the xmas this weekend, or maybe this Thursday after Thanksgiving dinner!

A long time ago, Pilgrims came to America, from England, to get away from religious persecution and the Native Americans helped them survive on the land and taught them many things. Religious persecution is the mistreatment of people because of their religious beliefs. The Pilgrims actually thought that this was India, which is why they called the Native Americans "Indians". There was a big feast that the Pilgrims and "Indians" had together in late November, but no one knows exactly when, so now Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November.

There was more history in this time including the Native Americans being forced off their land. Oklahoma is part of the Trail of Tears where Native Americans were marched into reservations and many of them died. This part of the history is quite terrible and sad. However, we still celebrate Thanksgiving Day in America and it's all about giving thanks for what you have and being with your family.

I got to enjoy Thanksgiving with my Host Amelia and several other TV's and we all helped out with making dinner...

As fun as it was decorating the xmas tree, we'll be doing it again. We think that a white tree will show off all the steampunk ornaments better becuase they are darker in color than traditional ornaments. Our host says she may be donating the green tree if the white one is awesome enough.

I got an early Christmas present! Can you tell what it is?

I love the smile I got for xmas. My host put another present under the xmas tree for me. Now, I'll have a smile on my face when I open it! I am so excited!

My host's cat, Monster, snuck into one of my photos ha ha!

So, I met some of my host's toys today. I met Holiday (the bigger snowman) and Starshine the snowman, and then I met of bunch of black and white toys too!

Buster is a xmas panda that my host adopted from a closing sale for Block Buster, which is a place to rent videos. He has these cute little xmas gloves <3

Jesslin is a mostly black cat with a little white on her. She was named after a friend who passed away in a terrible car accident many years ago. Jesslin is best friends with Caboose the moose, who you'll see pictures of him later on.

I met Snoopy who is a cartoon celebrity. He's a cool guy. I, also, met Bessie the cow, Dave pug (a dog), Slopey penguin (named because of my slopey beak), Zhevra zebra, Marc the lemur, and Love the bulldog (who's more of an off-white color).

Kalso, another toyvoyager who is visiting, was in a photo with me too. He's the handsome penguin with gray fur.

I went to work with my host today and she gave me a lolly! And this weekend we are decorating the white xmas tree. I'll post more when we are done. We might even get it finished tonight after we clean up the place.
