It was raining in Forest last night, and Camofrog was loving every drop. He couldn’t get enough of it.

Today was the day I’ve been waiting for. After putting some money into the bank, my account balance reached 100 million bells! At last!

The rain from yesterday was long gone, and the clear weather allowed Phineas to show up right away! He gave me the Tycoon Bell Saver badge! 😀

After that, I took some of that money back out of the bank. I went up to GracieGrace and bought a few high-priced items, including this Gracie chest.

After I spent about 700,000 bells, I returned to town and asked Copper if anything was going on. He told me Phineas was in town again!

So I made my way around town, and I spotted Phineas in the frog neighborhood (near the houses of Lily and Camofrog). He said that I’ve shopped so much that he should come to live with me! Only if you keep giving me new badges every night.

He then gave me the Master Shopper badge!

I figured I’d get the shopping badge soon after the saving badge, but I didn’t necessarily think it would be on the same day! I must have been fairly close to earning it anyway. Here is an updated look at my badge collection. Only four more gold badges to go!

As for other things going on in town, I found Tammi the monkey camping at the campsite. Yikes.

And I found that the entrance to the Reset Surveillance Center was open tonight. I dropped in, but I didn’t see anyone home at first. That is, until I walked over to the toilet and saw Resetti telling me about the baked squash he ate. Eww.

Kevin from Yabucoa recently visited my dream town. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend.

The other night, Vivian suggested a new public works project (PWP): the statue fountain!

This is what the statue fountain looks like. I know it fairly well, because there are many of them in the infamous Aika Village.

And I just have to say, it’s about time Vivian suggested a PWP! That’s the main reason I invited her into town, because I needed several snooty PWPs suggested. Well, better late than never. I like the statue fountain, and the price is very reasonable too. So I may consider adding one to Forest at some point.

I received two items I ordered in the mail recently, a blue cap and some sporty shades. I may wear this outfit for much of the summer.

Speaking of summer, today was the official start of the season in the northern hemisphere. It’s also the longest day of the year, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf celebrates the summer solstice by making the sun stay out all day (and night) long today. What a bright idea.

She handed out some ladder shades for the occasion. But I was already wearing some shades, so I didn’t need them. Anyway, there was also a standee for the summer solstice at the plaza, so I stuck my face into it.

The extra daylight was confusing Bob, who didn’t know if he should be sleeping or eating.

I spotted a balloon present up in the sky, so I got my slingshot out and shot it down. It contained a rocking chair.

As for bank account balance, I’m very close to reaching my goal. In fact, I should reach 100 million by Friday! 🙂

My recent dream visitors have been TamTaj from India, Jestique from Isla, Shyka from Roseoma, and Mayounna from Amy Rose. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

The Bug-Off insect-catching competition was held today, but I played too late to participate. However, I was able to catch the winners’ ceremony. Boots won the contest with a spider, believe it or not! Rolf finished in 2nd place, and Bob was third.

One of my initiatives today was to work a shift at the Roost. But since today was an event day, I couldn’t work at the Roost.

After 8:00, I went to Club LOL to enjoy some live music. Once again, two animals (Tom and Dizzy this time) were sitting on opposite sides of the club.

I asked K.K. for a random song, and he performed Bubblegum K.K.

After stopping at the Emporium to order a couple of items, I went out to the island. I did some fishing and some bug-catching, as I tried to earn a little extra money.

Once I returned to town and sold my catches, I found an extra 165,000 bells in my pockets. I then put that money into the bank. I’m only 350,000 bells away from reaching my goal! I think I should be able reach it by next week! 🙂

Alex from Rose, Hunter from Pearton, and Ale from Hidden have recently visited my dream town. Thanks for stopping by!
