It has been 10 school days since we've been at Proctor School. Since Friday, March 13th we have been staying with Mrs. Gibbas at her house. We have been having fun playing games....
and getting to know Mrs. Gibbas's cat Cody.
But we really wanted to get out of the house. Back when we were at Proctor, our Team Gibbas friends would take us on different adventures nearly every weekend! So, Washington, Professor Snuggles and I decided to ask Mrs. Gibbas to take us some place new.
"Please Mrs. Gibbas," Washington begged.
"It might be educational for us to explore nature," added Professor Snuggles.
"Okay," agreed Mrs. Gibbas, "let's go on a hike."
"Yay!" we all cheered.
So, this afternoon Mrs. Gibbas took us all on a nature exploration! She secured us into her backpack then set off on a path right outside her house. We climbed down a steep hill then took a wooded path across a small brook. There were giant trees everywhere!
"Just like home!" Washington exclaimed.
"Oh look! There's a fallen tree that we can explore," I said excitedly.
And before Mrs. Gibbas could stop us, we scrambled out of her backpack, jumped onto the path, and shimmied our way up inside a magnificent hollow tree.
"Hel-l-o-o-o-o," Professor Snuggles called, "this is so big there's an echo!"
"Hello?" said Washington tentatively. "Hey guys this is really cool and all, but I think Cody might be missing us. Maybe we should, um, head home."
I think Washington was a little bit afraid of what else was hiding in the hollow tree. Even though I wanted to stay and explore, I didn't want Washington to feel uncomfortable so I agreed that it was time to head home.
I hope that Mrs. Gibbas takes us on another adventure really soon! Exploring nature is fun.
