Class Picture Day!


My Host Is: Marilyn


Next: Cruisin Waikiki With Pomai

Imagine my excitement when I found out it was class picture day at school!

I got in line behind the kids but Marilyn said I was a guest of honor and should appear in every picture. Awesome.

Some of the kids wanted a caption under their picture. Boy they sure are cute at this age!

 

“We were so happy we found him!” “He’s magic, and he can walk for 10 hours and he’s little.” I haven't walked for 10 hours in quite some time but I sure enjoy it.

 
 
 
 

“I like the gnome but I don’t like the goblins and mean animals that hurt the gnome. I look for gnomes when I walk to the river.” I don't like goblins or mean animals either! Let me know if you see any gnomes by the river.

 
 

“I saw gnomes when I lived in Germany.” There are lots and lots of us in Germany!

 
 
 
 
 

”I like him and I’m happy he come to our school.” Awww...Thank You! I am so glad I got to meet all of you too.

 

“Me gusta mucho.” I like you alot too.

 
 
 
 

“Thank you for coming--we love you, Mr. Gnome!” Tiki Jr. and I love all of you too!

 

“He is leaving us, and we are sad." “He is going to Honolulu because he has cousins there. We hope he comes to see us again some day. I wonder if he knows the leprechaun.”

Tiki Jr. and I are both going to miss all of you. Thank you for the really neat habitat you made for us and for showing us all the neat things in your classroom.

I haven't met any leprechauns yet on this adventure but I am sure I will.

Maybe one day we can come back and visit you!

Aloha and Mahalo Marilyn!

Bud & Tiki Jr.
