This afternoon, we opened it up and took on the project. We had quite a pile of 'bones' and 'organs' on our workstation.
First, we pieced together the skeleton per directions. It was a bit tedious, tricky, and we wound up with super glue-covered fingertips.
My Story About Tesla
Tesla is an Alien that wound up here in Seattle, Washington. Tesla came from Mars, and is oddly small.
Tesla's story starts back on Mars. At Mars, Tesla had a UFO, and with a telescope, he spotted the gas giant called Jupiter. He then proceeded to head there, not knowing what dangers were there. As he headed there, he noticed the spot on the Southeast of the planet, which he DID NOT know was a hurricane.
At Jupiter, Tesla's UFO accidentally flew in the hurricane, making Tesla lose control. The hurricane at that moment was stronger than ever, and it threw Tesla's now unfueled and out-of-control UFO towards Puget Sound, on Earth.
Back at Puget Sound, none of the electronics in Tesla's UFO were working, and it was drifting in the water. about 72 hours later after a lot of rationing, the UFO washed up on shore, and a local fisherman found the UFO, occupied with Tesla. Then, he wandered in to Magnolia, Seattle, King County, Washington, to our house.
That is the story of Tesla.
Charles the AlienBIG BABY: My Facebook feed this morning let me know that there's a) a new baby giraffe at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, and b) it has a webcam - sweet! You can see it here: http://zoo.org/giraffecam#.Ug47npLqmvN
Once upon a time, there was an alien named Charles, who lived on Mars. One day, he decided to fly around the solar system and explore. When he strayed too close to Earth, he started being pulled in by the gravity field. He was rocketing at the speed of a meteor, but luckily was able to eject the parachute before he crashed.
Once on Earth, he discovered he had landed in Seattle, Washington. He walked around and saw many things, including dogs, cats, cars, and birds! He came to a house labeled 2846 and decided to go inside. There he met us, and we decided to keep him as a "pet".
Now Charles is as happy as ever, and always likes to play with our dogs, Kirby and Laika. He also likes to draw with me and play games with CJ. He's always nice and will help you anytime you need it.
The best times to watch are early morning and late afternoon. The cam has night vision, so you can check on the baby and its mom Olivia in the evening and overnight, too.
The giraffe was born on August 6, and it's already over 6 feet tall. If you're interested in seeing what a giraffe being born looks like, check out this video the zoo posted to YouTube.
I gotta say, the little guy looks pretty clumsy trying to stand for the first time, but hey, he was only 90 minutes old!
BOUNTY: We made a point to get up to the top of the lot to check out our garden this morning, and it was a good thing we did. We had a bunch of tomatoes that needed a pickin'.
They are so delicious! I love watching CJ and Annabelle pop 'em in like candy. Up until this year, neither of them would eat tomatoes, but they have discovered that garden-fresh tomatoes are like nature's candy.
We were glad to see many bees buzzing around our garden, doing their work. We appreciate their efforts! There was a party in this pumpkin blossom!
You can only see two bees in the photo, but there are actually three of them.
DOCUMENTARY: Rick stopped by this afternoon and CJ started peppering him with questions about North Korea. Rick didn't have all the answers CJ was seeking, but he did point him in the direction of a National Geographic documentary, "Inside North Korea."
CJ watched the entire thing (about 50 minutes). He was a little disappointed it wasn't up-to-the-minute current (the now deceased Kim Johg Il was still the dictator in the documentary).
I respect the North Korean people, but I don't like their politics," he informed.
If you are so inclined, National Geographic has posted the documentary on its YouTube channel:
