A Super Mini Mini Mini Vacation

   Greetings,  readers! First of all, I'm just really happy because of all the people reading my blog. So let me see if this  "cut-and-paste picture" thing works... ok. It does.

 And this is for the whole time that my blog has existed. And that's epic! And some of you may be asking, who reads your blog in Ukraine?! Honestly? No idea. I don't know who's in Russia or Ukraine (if it was you, drop me a line! Comment board's that way!) but I have a vague idea of who's looking at my blog and where in pretty much every other country. Kind of. But that's not what this blog post is supposed to be about. So I'll get back on track. 

   On (wait, what was it? Gah! Short-term memory...) Saturday, at about 6 o'clock in the evening, my mom said that we should go to this place called Arizona Falls (I think it was on a comment before...somewhere...) and this is something like how the conversation went:

Mom: Hey! Why don't we go to Arizona Falls? It'll be fun! 
Me: I don't really want to go... I have other things to do.
Mom: You should get outdoors and have fun!       (someone who's name I'll keep classified) said it was really nice! Let's go!
Me: But I really don't want to go!
Mom: Then you have to go!
Me: Mom! But--
Mom: *exasperated sigh* Okay then, see you in the car
Me: *me slamming my head on the table* (more than once, mind you)

Arizona Falls was kind of cool but my first impression when we went was "Gee, it smells like dead fish!". Which it did. But, hey, it's a waterfall in the canal. Of course it smells like dead fish! I brought Sock Monkey (no duh) but it was wet. And you know from a previous post that Sock Monkey plus water equals big kaboom. With a mushroom cloud. But here's a good picture of the waterfall.
Pretty cool, huh? Actually, there isn't really much else. Just three signs. Not all educational, though. We got that done in about, hmmm, fifteen minutes? Give or take a few?  Yeah. So we stopped by this nice pond that we nicknamed Turtle Pond. Because it had turtles in a pond. Mind-blowing, isn't it? I got pics of Sock Monkey, some rather hungry turtles (which was why they were so close in the first place), and ducks. And fish. Big fish. Big Koi fish.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Turtle! What's that? No, I don't taste very good...

Whatcha lookin' at?

Meet Mr. Geico the Duck

Ducks! Lots of ducks! Quack!

Shh! Don't disturb him! He's meditating..

So cute!

The big fountain in the middle of the pond
Yah. And afterwards, just because I felt like it, I got some ice cream from McDonalds. Not that I go there often. But that's pretty much it, so, here's the speech. Any questions or comments or suggestions or sarcastic remarks or whatever,  please comment! At least once! Other than that, I guess I'm done so, thanks for reading!
