Travelog for: Jellybean

Jellybean encounters her first earth species... human! Then she encounters her second earth species: Dog. Jellybean determines that the human is much more predictable and gentle than the dog! To recover energy after meeting dog, Jellybean is introduced to a delicious earth food; waffles.

Jellybean met up with her friends, OmNomNom and Quibble, and went on an adventure! They ended up at the Public Library in Iola, KS! Jellybean was in heaven with all of those lovely books. She thought the one titled "Target Earth" sounded especially interesting!

Today, Jellybean traveled with her human family to the Great Plains Mall in Olathe, KS! Jellybean found just the place she was looking for, to investigate more earth species... a pet shop!

At the pet shop, Jellybean encountered several new species! She met a rabbit, a starfish and some assorted saltwater fish, a sugar glider, a frog, a bearded dragon, a snake, and coral (with a little blue fish hiding in the reef).

The next place Jellybean visited was a firefighter museum, tucked in a little corner of the Great Plains Mall. Jellybean got to climb on a firetruck, learn about the bravery of firefighters, see rescue equipment, and investigate hose/pump equipment.

The next stop in today's travel's was Hancock Fabrics, to check out their Memorial Day weekend sales event. Jellybean browsed through pattern books, and got to meet a family friend, Anthony, who met up with us there.

After shopping and visiting, it was time for eating! Jellybean got to learn about the deliciousness that is Red Robin! She got to sample chocolate milk, the bottomless fries, a veggie burger, and pizza.

Jellybean got up bright and early this morning and decided to explore the environment around the house she is sharing with her humans. She found some amazing mushrooms, then took time to smell the flowers! She had hoped to meet the species called "birds" and waited for them to come and bathe, but she must have frightened them away!

Jellybean got to see what this earth family does on birthdays! Jellybean went to El Charro, the family's favorite Mexican restaurant and got to sample chips and salsa, fajita quesadilla, and then see what happens when they sing the birthday song (the kids call this the tradition of "ice cream up your nose"). Jellybean couldn't resist inspecting the sombrero!

Jellybean got to enjoy the tradition of presents and cake on birthdays! Jellybean admired the pretty wrapping paper and gave her approval to the alien pizza kit. The zombie kind of surprised her, oh my! She thought the cheesecake looked really delicious, and the candles were really nice.

Jellybean was so excited to encounter another species: cat! This white, fluffy cat is named Biscuit! Then, Jellybean met a baby chinchilla named Farkle. Jellybean has now met eleven earth species!!

Jellybean went for a ride in the country with his earth family today. They saw some oil tanks, and Jellybean couldn't resist taking a closer look at the flowers. The view down the country lanes was lovely, and the creeks were flowing high.

Jellybean was very excited to welcome Sam sam, a TV from the UK, to our home! Sam came with delicious candies to share Sam and Jellybean went with their host family to another family's house for dinner, with lots of kids and fun. They had vegetarian taco salad.

Jellybean visited Wal-mart. Since it's the only place in town to buy groceries, his earth family goes there often.

Jellybean and Sam visited the Cottonwood Gardens today! It's a lovely garden that used to be a vacant lot. Someone purchased it, turned it into a lovely garden, then donated it to the city. It makes a very lovely place for pictures in the spring.
