Sparkler Season

Last Saturday, Sydney the koala was camping at the campsite. I’ ve had her in my GameCube town practically forever, but I don’t particularly feel the need to add her to my New Horizons island.

Sydney, at the campsite: All the fresh air and open sky here is waking my inner poet, sunshine.

However, I did opt to play a game with her…and I lost. No prize for me.

The next day, I visited June. She told me she was going to start charging me one bell to relax in her house! 😉

June: Doesn't time spent relaxing at home fill you with joy? I'd love for you to relax here as well, for 1 bell.

At least it’s affordable. She only charges the bear minimum. 🐻

Forest’s birthday season kept rolling on, with Bones celebrating a birthday on Monday (August 4th). I gave him a smoker that I bought at the shop, and he seemed thrilled!

Bones, at his birthday party: Whoa! I-- You-- What?! A smoker?! Are you SURE I can have this?!

Bone appétit! Ketchup was also at the party and on the menu.

Over at the Resident Services plaza, I found June, Bob, and Louie setting off some sparklers. 🎇

June, Bob, and Louie set off some sparklers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I ran into Pascal on Tuesday, and he said you need to pick a direction to get ahead in life. Sometimes that’s the hardest part!

Pascal: If you wanna get ahead in life, you gotta pick a direction first, maaan!

After selling some stuff yesterday, my bank account balance reached a new milestone: 120 million bells.

Savings Balance: 120,000,000 bells.

My New Leaf savings balance is still larger (135 million), but New Horizons is slowly catching up. It’ll overtake New Leaf eventually, but it may take another year or more.

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town and he performed “K.K. Aria” for me and Static.

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week in Forest:

  • Last Saturday, Gulliver sent me an alpinist hat.
  • K.K. performed “K.K. Sonata” for me, Bob, Louie, Static, and Agent S.
  • On Wednesday, I sold 32 bugs to Flick for 243,000 bells.
  • Yesterday, Gullivarrr sent me some pirate boots.

I posted my latest New Horizons Moments video earlier today, so I hope you’ll check it out.
