<\/p>\nIt’s the 2nd Friday of the month, and that means one thing: Friday Night Forest! I opened my gate at 10 p.m.; Beth arrived first, and we were talking about Hippeux’s name. So when Beth asked what my town tune was from, I used some alternate spelling of my own.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After a few minutes, Merka also arrived. We hung out and chatted for a bit, and then I suggested a trip to the island. On my way down to the dock, I spotted Merka on the ledge.<\/p>\n

However, she went on BRB to eat lunch. In an attempt to save time, I tried pushing her down to the dock. It wasn’t going well; it was really hard work! I wish I could have just picked her up and carried her! \ud83d\ude1b And the worst part is, about ten minutes later, I realized I was pushing her the wrong way! \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n
Fortunately, she returned shortly after that, and we headed out to the island. We started with a gardening tour, and it ended up being a bit more challenging than we anticipated!<\/p>\n

We also went on locust-catching and balloon-popping tours, earning silver on the former and gold on the latter.<\/p>\n
We then went out onto the island for some fishing, bug-catching, and diving. I didn’t do any diving myself, but Merka did. And somehow, she glitched, so that she was standing in the water!<\/p>\n

To get free, she had to put her wet suit on, and then she dove into the ocean! It was like she jumped off of a dock! But that allowed her to swim back onto shore.<\/p>\n
After we returned to the mainland and I sold a couple of my catches, we went glitching. We did the usual: We started at the tracks, ran over to the bridge, glitched off the bridge, and then glitched again into the void. I was the first to make it there, and Merka followed just behind.<\/p>\n

After Merka and I watered each other repeatedly, I started exploring under Forest. Merka accidentally unglitched herself, but then she re-glitched into void all before Beth could get there the first time! \ud83d\ude1b Beth eventually did get into the void, but she didn’t last long. She fell into a pitfall that I had planted for my visitors earlier in the night.<\/p>\n
She was back on solid ground, and she asked where I was at. I found the nearest landmark and told her I was by the (wind) turbine. So she came over to see me. Well, actually she couldn’t see me, but I could see her.<\/p>\n

I was done exploring under the town, so I asked her to dig a hole for me to be born into.<\/p>\n
![\"Beth:](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160513_HNI_0088.jpg\")
I dug a hole for Merka, so baby Merka was also born on the beach.<\/p>\n
![\"Jeff:](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160514_HNI_0089.jpg\")
She didn’t look very happy when she came out.<\/p>\n
![\"Merka:](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160514_HNI_0093.jpg\")
Merka had to go, so I went ahead and ended the session for the night. It was fun, though. Thanks for coming, Beth and Merka!<\/p>\n
At the Dream Suite, Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Mayounna from Amy Rose–thanks for visiting! Have a good weekend everyone, and I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
