Around the World with Little Raindrop: I Visit THE World... of Disney! (Part 1 of 3)

Hiya there, Little Raindrop here, reporting to duty!

I was just relaxing, looking through my travel photo album, and suddenly I realized I forgot to tell you all about my adventures this past January! I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER TOLD YOU!!! You are going to love this!!!

I, Little Raindrop....

went...

to...

WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!

Eeeeek, can you believe it?! I can hardly believe it myself! But it happened... and it happened TWICE in one month! I am one super duper lucky raindrop, that's for sure!

First, my friend Rebecca from Mr. H's class took me along with her and her family. We had SO much fun! And then, Miss Melanie took me along with her to Disney World, too. In fact, both Rebecca and Melanie were there one week right after the other, and even on the same day. Crazy, right?

I don't have all the photos from my visit with Rebecca just yet, but I do have one really special one to show you for now...

Isn't Snow White just wonderful?
*siggghhhh*
I think I might be in looooooove!

But I DO have a story and some great photos to share with you from my visit with Miss Melanie! In fact, I think I will write my whole story in three parts. The introduction, which is what I wrote just now, will be Part One. My visit with Rebecca will be Part Two. And my visit with Miss Melanie will be in Part Three!

I'll be back with more to share! Yippie!

Around the World with Little Raindrop: I go to San Diego, CA!

Hiya kiddos!

Today I'm going to show you pictures from my trip with Andres to... San Diego, California! COOL!

In the plane, about to take off!

Nice day at the beach!

Wow, what a view!

On the shoes of my friends.
*sniff sniff* What is that SMELL?

Ahhh, the ocean feels GREAT!

Surf's up, duuude!

Albert Einstein said some pretty smart stuff!
He says we should learn to strive for happiness,
and not for success. That sounds good to me!

Cool, the Star III submersible!

In front of the Birch Aquarium!
These whales seem tiny compared to the real thing!

At the Birch Aquarium! Hooray! Aquariums are my favorite!
Visit the Kelp Cam to see live fishies swimming!

Look at all the fish!
Hey- I think I know that one...

Jolla Shores look so tiny from way up here!

Sunning myself on a kayak at Coronado Island!

Here we are at Legoland, California!

Albert Einstein, made of Legos,
and it looks like something is coming out of his nose!

Mini people, mini golfing!

Hanging out on Hagrid's hand!

Old Town, San Diego.
It sure looks old to me!

Mason Street school, the old school in Old Town!

I wouldn't want to get into trouble at Mason Street school...
SIX lashings for playing in the creek?!?!!
Sheesh! I'd be in trouble ALL the time!

Nice Ferrari, man!

We had such a great time! Andres and his family took me to some really unique places, and I learned so many new things. I even went online to learn a little more about the man Albert Einstein... he was super smart! Think about these quotes:

“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. We need a new way of thinking if mankind is to survive and move to higher levels.”

Now tell me, which is your favorite quote, and why? I think you know which one is mine! :D
See ya 'round!

Around the World with Little Raindrop: My Visit to Texas!

Hiya kids, Little Raindrop here!

I've got some great photos to share with you from one of my latest adventures! My good pal, Alex, took me with her on her visit to San Antonio, Texas... and we sure had a SPLASH- uh, I mean a BLAST!

We traveled by air and flew right past my old neighborhood- hey, wait...
I THINK I SEE MY HOUSE!

Then we watched a ceremony at Lackland Airport...

...to see Alex's cousin graduate! Congratulations!

Look how close we got to the plane!

And we learned that heroes, and dangers, come in many shapes and sizes!

Then we visited San Antonio's Sea World theme park.

I got to visit with my whale buddies, Shamu and friends!
It was great to see them all again!

I'm sure going to miss them, but Shamu told me I could
keep an eye on him from the Shamu cam, and you can, too!

Next, we discovered the Alamo!
Well, WE didn't discover it, but we definitely explored it!

What a cool building!

You girls really know how to lift a guy up! :)

hee hee! This tail is tickling me!

This cactus does NOT tickle!

Ouch! Who thought of this idea??

Eesh, I'm starting to wonder if these people like me anymore!

Even though I got pricked a few times, I still had a TON of fun with Alex and her family! I went to all sorts of new places, and saw some old faces, too! Now, where is my First Aid kit???

Until next time, my Little Water Heroes!

Tales of a third Grade Classroom: Fan Mail for Miss Melanie!

Hi, again!

After a very busy holiday season, I'm finally getting the chance to really sit down and read some of my latest FAN MAIL! I LOVE getting post cards from Mr. H's class... it is one of my favorite things in the world! It makes me sad that it has taken me so much time to get to this stack of important letters, so please excuse me while I read.

[Please wait while Miss Melanie reads her letters.]

*TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK...*

[Miss Melanie is now finished reading her letters.]

WOW! What a great batch of postcards I have here! Here are some of the postcards I got from the kids:

Unfortunately, I can't post all of the postcards here on the blog, but I really wish I could! They are all wonderful! Mr. H's Class of 2013 seems to be a super smart bunch... I can't wait to meet them next year! And each student wants to take Little Raindrop with them on an adventure... That is SO COOL! In fact, that gives me an idea. I wonder if Little Raindrop would like to go on an adventure with me? I think I'm going to ask him RIGHT NOW!

Talk to you later, kids!

Around the World with Little Raindrop: My Trip to the National Aquarium in Baltimore!

Heya Kids!

GUESS WHERE I WENT?!?!

Oh, wait... the heading probably already told you! Whoops! Hee hee!

Anyway, I visited the National Aquarium in Baltimore, with my friend Abigail! We had a SUPER fun day, and I got to visit with some of my favorite aquatic animals and habitats! I felt right at home!

First thing's first... we got a little silly...

But then we got down to business and had some serious fun!

What nice way to end the day! Though, that water looks super inviting!
I'd like to dive in and say hi to my friends!

It was really nice of Miss Abigail and her family to take me with her on their visit to the aquarium! I had sooo much fun, and I hope you all get a chance to visit someday, too! The National Aquarium in Baltimore is an amazing place!

See ya 'round!
