Heyy DiscoFanz!!! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ Today is special because we’re going on a lake house trip!!! And a special guest is coming along-SPRAYEL!!! I’m calling this his “Spraycation.” What do you think?
Spraycation at the Lake!!!
Hi!!! Today we’ll be documenting my fun-filled trip to the lake house with Sprayel! He told me he’s super excited, and I think he needs some R&R (Rest and Re-Stinking)🦨at the lake. Since he can’t even wait until next week, he wants to get packing right away! And he’s in luck, because I have tons of kawaii little items for his Spraycation Suitcase.
Phase #1: The Packing 📦
Sprayel is super excited to get packing, and so are we!!! His packing list includes tons of adorable skunk-sized items:
- Snacks: We packed him lots of junk food, because it’s a junk food kind of vacation!!!
- Milk Chocolate to make some S’mores!
- Gummy bears, but he’ll only eat the green ones.
- Funshine Haha Crackers! Wait, did we get the right ones!?
- Sprayel’s Stanley, so he doesn’t get thirsty!💦
- Protection: Because it’s gonna be sunny at the lake!🕶
- Pink visor! (They didn’t come in green. Sorry Sprayel.)
- Sunscreen! He likes it ’cause it’s stinky.
- Toiletries: He’s staying two nights, so he’ll need to get cleaned up after a swim in the lake!
- A tiny toothpaste so his breath smells stinky-fresh!
- Towel to dry him off after a swim!!!
- Entertainment: The most important category!!!
- Ukelele! (Yes, he can play it.)
PianoSprayel?!? We can’t fit a piano in the car!!!
Well, Sprayel’s all packed, and he’s pretty much ready to go! He can’t WAIT until next week. Make sure to visit Phase 2: The Car Ride, along with a Sprayel Photo Dump! 📷 Or, if you can’t wait that long, here’s another downloadable coloring page for you!
Phase 2: The Car Ride🚗
Hi again, Kitties!!! Today’s the day we’re hitting the road–and Sprayel’s more excited than ever! While Sammy and Homog are sleeping on the couch at home, Sprayel’s going on an adventure to the lake!!!🌲And he’s got his tiny suitcase packed and ready to go. The car ride will take two or three hours, so we’ll definitely be hearing lots of “are we there yet” from Sprayel.
As the car sets off for New Jersey, Sprayel’s buckled in tight to his seat. I took him out of my backpack so he could see the scenery out the car window! Here’s what Sprayel’s doing in the car to keep himself occupied:
- Sprayel’s mapping our trip, but I think he missed the big green bridge on the way! 🗺
- After mapping, the busy guy needed a serious snack break! He went for the Garlic Pub-Style pretzels. 🥨
- He insisted on blasting Beethoven’s First Symphony on the speakers. 🎶
- After the first hour and many “are we there yets”, Sprayel finally falls asleep. Shhh!!! 😴
Whew!!! Sprayel just woke up and is pooped from the long car ride. Luckily I got out my tablet so we could play Toca Boca World and do some kawaii doodles. Car Ride Rating: 100/10!
After more and more and more time, we FINALLY GOT TO THE LAKE!!! As soon as we opened the door, Sprayel was running (okay, I carried him) to the lake house!!! But that’s all for now. Hope you guys had some car ride fun with Sprayel! Tune in next time for Sprayel’s first day at the lake house! Until then, here’s a downloadable Spraycation Map! 🌊 Byyeee!!!!
Phase 3: Arriving At The Lake House! 🌲
As soon as we got to the lake, Sprayel walked (okay, I carried him) right into the house like a fluffy, smelly king. He immediately claimed the sunniest corner of the living room next to the sliding doors for his naps!!! 👑
We were all busy unpacking, and so was Sprayel! Of course, I had to do some of the work for him, because he collapsed onto the floor as soon as he claimed all his territories. He was POOPED from the long car ride there!!!
Once the unpacking was done, Sprayel and I explored the lake house. We checked out:
- The beautiful lake view (pics of that are coming soon!!!)🌅
- The kitchen table, which had enough seats for Sprayel to sit with us during meals!!!🍽
- My room (Sprayel got his own side of the bed!!!)👑
- My parents’ room, which Sprayel was jealous of because of the big bed.🛏
- The living room had a huge, comfy couch perfect to take naps on!!! 🛋
- The junk food my mom packed for us, mostly because he can eat the crumbs. 🍕
I can already tell he’s going to like what’s ahead of us!!!
Phase 4: Day 1: The Lake Diaries 🛶
Today was Sprayel’s first full day at the lake house. We spent the day exploring, snacking, and going outside! Sprayel’s best highlights from our first lake day included:
- Going outside to the dock!!! He was careful not to fall in… 🛶
- Relaxing in the hot tub outside (he was careful not to get his tail wet!!!) ♨
- Finding cracker crumbs under the table to steal!!! 🥷
We even went outside once to check out the dock, which was awesome!!! There was even a fake flower bed, which Sprayel was NOT afraid to nap in.🪻 (See image above)
Sprayel rated this day 100/10 stinky sprays!!! 🦨
After a long, long day at the lake house, Sprayel, me, and the family sat down for a delicious dinner of pesto pasta and crescent rolls!!! After dinner, we watched the sun set from behind our luxurious sliding doors. 🌅 It was the best lake day ever!!!
And the view inspired me to doodle some super cute kawaii Lake Sprayel drawings soon, like him in a canoe or hiking through the woods! Be on the lookout for the big drop on my Gallery page… 👀
Anyways, what was YOUR fave part of Sprayel’s lake house Spraycation so far? Sprayel’s was definitely the sunset view.
Phase 5: Day 2: Sprayel’s Adventures🗺
Today Sprayel, me, and my mom and dad met up with my dad’s friends at a sculpture park!!! It was super fun, and Sprayel agrees!!! I can tell you all about it and all my fave parts of the trip.
Sprayel especially loved the adventure because:
- He got to hold the map (with my help, of course)🗺
- My mom bought a Creamsicle from the vending machine for us to share! 🍊
- We got to ride a tram through the park!!! 🚌
- One of the sculptures allowed Sprayel to sit on it! 🖼
We stayed at the sculpture park for four hours, and then we had lunch at the picnic tables. Sprayel and I dined on mini turkey sandwiches and sour cream and onion Pringles!!! He didn’t even have to take the pringle crumbs. ✨
We also visited the Franklin Mineral Museum to collect some cool florescent rocks, and we even got some souvenirs in the gift shop!!! Sprayel picked out some dinosaur poop (coprolite) and a cool pink rock. Here’s some pics of them:
Sprayel picked out the dino poop because it’s stinky like him!!!
I was also very lucky not to get stung by a wasp because there were a ton flying around in the rock collecting area… eep! 🐝 What is your favorite trip we took, the mineral museum or the sculpture park? Tag them on your blog: #Spraycation!
Overall, Sprayel told me he would rate the mineral museum 100/10 stinky sprays too! He loved it THAT much. ❤❤❤
Phase 6: Homecoming & Review🏠
Okay, we know this has to come sometime, but it hurts- Sprayel and I had to leave the lake house today. He practically cried his little plush tears all the way home!!!😭
We got to go in the hot tub one last time before we left, though, which he found very relaxing… he wants to take it home with him!
Sprayel made sure to grab a jar of lake water for Sammy and Homog so they could bring a little of the lake back with him!!!
Once we got home, Sprayel took a nap on my beanbag chair.💤 Here’s his full review of the trip:
- The Lake Water: 9/10. He almost fell in!🌊
- The View: 1000/10!!! Beautiful at sunset. 🌇
- The Museum: 8/10. He had to walk too much… 🥵
- The Beds: 7/10… they were WAY too hard. 🪨
- The Vibe: 100000000/10!!! He wishes he could live there. Sprayel’s a total lake skunk! 🛶
Downloadable pics are available in the above sections, too, so you can take a little lake vibes with you!!!
Anyways, I hope you guys had a fun adventure with Sprayel!!! (Psst! Don’t read Phase 6 yet, we have more adventures to be had with Sprayel in the upcoming sections!!!) ✨
Lakeside Campout Toca Boca Build!!!
Heyy Kitties! While Sprayel’s busy splashing in the lake and judging birds for their lack of fashion sense, I’m taking lake pics and getting tons of Toca Boca Build insporation! Luckily, I brought my tablet so I can re-create a campsite by the lake!
Follow along with me to build your own Spraycation campsite!
Here’s a list of tips and tricks to make your Spraycation campsite build even better than mine! 😉
- Use tons of trees-it gives a real “forest” aesthetic while also hiding all the buildings in the background!🌲
- Pick an outdoor space from a backyard to the Wilderness Campsite pack! (I used the Fluffy Friends House’s yard.)
- Add a BBQ grill or campfire so your characters won’t get hungry after kayaking in the lake!🎣
- Grab the speedboat from the Coastal Essentials pack for a nice boat ride in the salty, fish-scented air. (Ew!)
- Find a real body of water in the Toca Boca universe. I didn’t and had to use Google Photos Editor to add a blue lake.🌊
Anyways, those are five super easy tips on making YOUR Spraycation campout. Post your characters’ adventure on your blog and tag it #Spraycation or #Kawaiibuildswithme!!!
I’ll see you next time – Sprayel misses you!
Sprayel’s Lake Survival Guide
Hi guys! Today we’re dropping the usual Craft section to talk with Sprayel about surviving in the wilderness-with some marshmallows and a tiny boat to help, of course! Here’s some of Sprayel’s main tips for a great lake house Spraycation.
- Don’t get wet- trust me, a land skunk is WAY more fashionable than a soggy skunk.💧
- If you see a cracker under the table, snag it before a raccoon does.
- Marshmallows are great, but DON’T get any on your fur. I did once and lost some hair (and my dignity.)
- If any bugs pass by, strike. There’s nothing wrong with a little extra protein!🐛
- When entering the lake house, claim the biggest room before The Disco Cat’s parents do. Bigger is better!
- At night, the neighbors make a lot of ruckus. Wear ear plugs-a skunk fashionista needs his beauty sleep! 💤
Sprayel has learned lessons from all of these mistakes- he had to share a room with me, and he snores. Just ask Whiskers.
Anyways, I hope you guys loved this segment! We’re taking a break because Sprayel needs more blogging-free R&R time.🕯
A Word From Whiskers
“Hey everyone.”
Hi, Whiskers!!! We had a fun time at the lake. Did you?🌲
“Uh, I guess. Sprayel is being a *cough* show-off *cough*.”🙄
He is not!😡
“Earlier he said any snacks that hit the floor are his.”
“And he also attempted to drive the speedboat.”🚤
“It did NOT go well, but he said ‘I meant to do that.’”
O-kay. Also, we do not speak of the boat incident.
“UGH.”🙄
“Can someone bring me a marshmallow?”
Whiskers, the bonfire is in five-
“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!”🔥
-minutes. Sigh.
Bye, Fanz!💜
