Nugget, what are you doing with that bed sheet? |
 |
I’m making my very own hot air balloon Squiggles! You see that basket; I’m going to tie my bed sheet to it, and when the wind gets a-going, I’m going to go up, up, and away!! |
|
Now Nugget, I’ve heard some hairbrained ideas before, but that is the absolute worst! First off, you need hot air to make a hot air balloon fly!
|
|
Are you calling me silly, Squiggles?! |
|
Of course not, Nugget. I’m simply explaining that your little plan will not work. Why do you want to make a hot air balloon anyway?
|
|
DIDN’T YOU KNOW SQUIGGLES! The Zhu-niverse is going to be at the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning from July 23rd-25th in Trenton, New Jersey. There are going to be over 125 hot air balloons. Do you know what this means, Squigs??
|
|
Uhhh…no… |
|
CLOUDS, SQUIGGLES!! THINK OF THE CLOUDS YOU CAN SEE FROM A HOT AIR BALLOON!!! I bet you can see over a zhu-illion different shapes, and I bet I can name them all. Gosh, do you think they’ll name a cloud after me someday?
|
|
You can’t really name a cloud. They’re always changing Nugget, but if it makes you feel better, I think every cloud looks like a little Nugget.
|
|
Gee, that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me Squiggles! |
 |

Hey all you Zhu-natics out there! Why don’t we all come together for a good ole’ fashion game of “I Spy!!!”
|
 |
Hooray!!! I just love “I Spy!!”
|
 |
Dude, I’ll start. I spy with my rad little eye something that is orange…
|
|
Is it a flower?! Perhaps a Tulip or a lovely Daylily?! OR if you want to go into even more rare, beautiful flowers, it could be a Trumpet Vine, a Mexican Sunflower, or my absolute favorite a Chinese Lantern?!!!…Gosh, I just love flowers! Aren’t they just glorious?!
|
|
Little Dudette, I have no idea what you were just talking about, but the answer is no—it’s not any of the names you just rambled off. |
|
Is it a butterfly?!?!
|
|
Nope, sorry Nugget. |
|
(Munch, Munch) Gez, Chunk. (Munch, Munch) This is really a hard one. I’ve been eating extra carrots today too so I can have excellent eyesight for this game.
|
|
