A Journey to Rome!

Today we went to Common Ground again and had many wondrous adventures.    We witnessed Nicholas become King of the Apes. There wasn’t much competition since there aren’t very many apes in Common Ground and really, who is going to argue with the man who can out teeter-totter Stephen.We (Anne, Christopher, Robert, and I) then traversed the Mountain Plain to find the strange yet wonderful Robert Koala (which is different from a regular Robert). After we had found it we went on our most fantastic adventure yet.  We went to Rome!  It happened like this; when we returned from finding the Robert Koala we decided to rest in the swings.  There was a tremendously big one so Anne suggested we all pile on and have Stephen and Nicholas push us.  Stephen and Nicholas being very strong pushed us so hard the hinges broke and we went flying away in the swing. We flew up very high spinning around in circles through a big, wet, cloud.  When we landed we looked around and tried to figure out where we were.  Luckily the Pope happened to be going by and hearing of our problem set right to helping us.  He told us we had landed in Rome, but he would be glad to help us get home again.  He had us get on another swing and the Swiss Guard push us until the hinges broke on that swing and we went flying back.  It was on this trip that Robert learned that the Swiss are not made out of cheese.  We landed safely in the park and went home.  That’s what happened when we went to Common Ground.  Or at least, that’s how I choose to remember it.
