Gulliver sent me a skeleton figurine in the mail from Mexico today. If I end up making a Halloween room again this year, it would be a perfect fit there.
Aurora told me she was thinking about moving out of Forest on August 10th, but naturally, I quickly changed her mind for her.
I made another dream visit to the Japanese Nintendo dream town (dream address 0000-0100-0017), because I wanted to make sure I saved all of the Splatoon patterns available from Wendell there.
I found it interesting that Wendell admits to copying the designs from the town. He’s supposed to be an artist, but all he does is share designs made by other people in New Leaf.
With the rest of the Splatoon patterns now in my possession (and in my pattern storage), I changed my squid faceboard to the male inkling faceboard.
I also changed my path design from the squid eye pattern to the blue and orange ink splotch design.
Side note: That was the first time I’ve ever used the word splotch on this site. Or maybe ever…?
After updating my dream town, Luna told me that Miya from Dog Town was my most recent dream visitor.
One other note: Instead of hosting Friday Night Forest this month, I’m going to open my gate on Sunday night instead (for the fireworks festival). The time isn’t set in stone just yet, but I’m aiming for 8pm Eastern time (5pm Pacific time). If the time changes, I’ll be sure to post on Twitter, and in the blog too if it’s not a last-minute thing. Anyone on my 3DS friend roster is welcome to come.
Tonight, Aurora was hungry for some fruit. I gave her a perfect peach, and she rewarded me with a compass. I guess she’s trying to give some direction to my life.
But she didn’t stop there; she gave three cheers for our friendship. That’s equivalent to three ice cubes, apparently.
I also gave Aurora an item from Rolf. He had borrowed the item and forgot to return it, but Aurora didn’t even notice it had been a while. Rolf later admitted that he kept it a long time on purpose!
Down on the beach, I found Gulliver talking about the lively music played by mariachi bands. He is headed off to Mexico, and he’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.
Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Carson from Car City was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!
Later on this evening, Pete handed me a letter from Nintendo. Now through August 15th, you can pick up a cucumber horse from Nintendo Zone locations. The cucumber horse was also in 
I headed up to the post office to pick it up, and Phyllis handed it over.
It looks just like it did in City Folk; it’s a cucumber on a stand. Unfortunately, it cannot be ordered from the catalog.
Of course, tonight is the first fireworks festival of 2015! I made sure to look up at the sky to enjoy the sights.
The animals were enjoying the fireworks too. In fact, they couldn’t stop talking about them!
Molly was blown away by them.
The fireworks even blew up the moon!
Isabelle was at the event plaza; she gave me a star bopper for my head.
Crazy Redd had a stand where he was selling cookies. Each one has a ticket inside, which may be a winner or a dud. I bought one, and it was a dud.
But I still got a consolation prize for the losing ticket: A sparkler.
After that, I stood on the bridge and watched the fireworks for a while.
If you missed the fireworks festival tonight, don’t worry. August has five Sundays this year, so you’ll still have four more chances to see the fireworks.
