I found Gullivarrr washed up on the beach yesterday, and he asked me to find his communicator for him. I went diving, and again, I found the communicator on my very first dive!

Keaton asked me to deliver a gift to Tia, and of course, I agreed to help. To my surprise, the gift was a skull tee. I told her it looked nice on her, but it’s certainly a different look for her.

Last night, I worked on the area in front of the plaza, and I decided to add a 2nd fountain. I also made a path between them, and then I added some benches today. This will be a great place to sit and watch fireworks!

I received my reward from Gullivarrr in the mail today; it was a pirate beard. That’s quite a bushy beard!

I went diving and filled up my pockets twice, but there were no scallops to be found.

Anyway, I updated my dream today so that visitors can see the new fountain layout and the “He Stole” skeleton in Sudden Valley.

Later on tonight, I ran into Celeste. She gave me a D.I.Y. recipe for a mums wand. I wish she’d give me more space items! I don’t care about all these wands. 🙁 I wish I could make these wand recipes disappear…but I might need a magic wand to do that. 😉

Alex from Pawnee invited me over to his town for a meteor shower, so I headed on over. I was surprised to see that Logan and Nami were also there. Alex gave us a tour, and his town is amazing! I’ll have to feature it in a future dream video…although some parts are a bit disturbing. 😛

After a while, Logan left, and Saeran joined in. I wished on many shooting stars while I was there, and I earned 2,000 Nook Miles for wishing on my 200th star.

After Alex completed the tour of his town and house, he ended the session. Thanks for the invitation, Alex! It was fun, and your town is great! 🙂

See you all tomorrow!

This afternoon, I headed over to Tom41’s town to see a bit of the fireworks festival there. We had fun burning ourselves and each other.

I spoke to Isabelle, and she gave me a heart bopper.

I heard that the colorful wheels, which previously showed different numbers to each player, have now been fixed. And we confirmed it. We all saw the same results after spinning them.

If you move too far away from it though, it will reset to 1. But as long as everyone stands nearby, it works the way it should.

After some drama with a missing tree and a fruit thief, we got disconnected.

Later on in my town, I bought an eggshell at Able Sisters to put on my head. It cracked me up. 😉

However, I soon replaced it after speaking with Isabelle at the fireworks festival. She gave me a flower bopper to wear on my head.

Hornsby was getting fired up for the fireworks. He said this was the most exciting thing to happen to him since he ate breakfast this morning. 😛 Don’t laugh, food is a big deal for Hornsby! 😉

I went diving for scallops, and I found one on my 4th dive. Pascal showed up to give me some words of wisdom about holes.

He also gave me another pearl. 🤦

I bought some of Redd’s raffle tickets to get some more fireworks, but I always end up getting so many balloons and pinwheels that I don’t want. And apparently, the game doesn’t even have Roman candles. 🙁 But on the bright side, I did use a fountain firework to set Rizzo on fire. 🙂

Another thing I noticed about the fireworks festival is that it was still using the custom fireworks I submitted last week. I didn’t have to submit them again today. I hope you all enjoyed the 2nd fireworks festival of the year!

Today, I posted my new video, Dream Island Hopping #1! I hope you’ll check it out.

I also put up a new Dream Visits page. You can share your dream addresses in the comments, and check out the dreams of other commenters. Have fun and pleasant dreams! 🙂

By the way, I just got the Nintendo Switch Online app and I’m now able to see how people have visited my dream. The total is 2,990 visitors; thank you all for dreaming of Forest! Unfortunately, it doesn’t list the names of visitors or I’d mention the recent dreamers in the blog like I do in my New Leaf blog.

I accidentally destroyed the money rock today. It happened because I still had an apple in my system from last night. I wish we automatically pooped in our sleep lost our strength overnight.

When I got to the bulletin board, I saw some new posts that were left from visitors last night. That included Ryan’s depiction of the “king of the hill” game.

And speaking of that game, I posted a video of it today. Here it is!

Today I filled in the holes and removed the pillars where the game was…but I didn’t put everything back like it was. I feel like I want to design this area differently. I just don’t know how yet. I’ll have to think about it some more.

At Able Sisters, I was surprised to see a skeleton hood for sale. We’re still in the first half of August, so it seems really early for Halloween stuff. In New Leaf, the Halloween masks didn’t start appearing until October. But I bought it anyway.

K.K. was at the plaza, and I asked him for a random song. He played K.K. Safari for me and Louie.

When I found a scallop under the sea, Pascal showed up and gave me a pearl for it.

The second fireworks festival is coming up tomorrow night. I don’t plan on opening my gate this time, but I will have a blog entry tomorrow. Hope to see you then!
