A Rainy Day

      Hi everyone! I'm sorry, I haven't posted in awhile. I have been very busy this summer with camps, vacations, etc. These last few days though, have been very rainy and I decided to do a post on one of my newest Sylvanians named Renee Red Panda. Enjoy the post!

      It was a dreary, rainy day and poor Renee Red Panda was bored to death. She had absolutely nothing to do. All her best friends lived far down in Brambly Corners, and they wouldn't be able to come visit her in her high mountain home in this weather. Her father Russell Red Panda was out working in his shed. Last time, Renee had helped him though she had managed to get a sliver in her paw. She was not interested in doing anything back inside the shed anytime soon. Her mother Raina on the other hand was downstairs making her absolutely dreadful Lichen Silk Pie. Renee hated Lichen Silk Pie, she much preferred her mother's amazing Bamboo Shoot Cake.

     At that moment she heard the doorbell ring. It was probably just the mailmouse, doing his rounds. That's when she heard a voices chatting. Renee knew that her mother, Raina absolutely despised the mailmouse for some reason and only on very rare occasions would her mother talk to the mailmouse. So, Renee decided to look out her window to see who was visiting them, in such weather. Below she saw one of her best friends in the whole world, Isabelle Hopper.

     Renee rushed downstairs to meet her friend, Isabelle and her mother, Stephanie. Renee's mother had already ushered Isabelle and Stephanie inside, out of the rain.

     Isabelle ran to where Renee was standing and gave her a big hug.

    "How did you get here in this rain?" asked Renee.

    "We were visiting some of my cousins in Honeysuckle Hollow, and we couldn't drive any further because of this rain, so I asked my mom if we could stop at your house" answered Isabelle.

     "I'm so glad you came, I was so... bored!" replied Renee, annunciating the so.

   
      Isabelle and Renee ran up the ladder to Renee's room. "Wow, it's so pretty in here, my room is all littered with my little sisters toys" said Isabelle stunned. Renee giggled and invited her best friend to come jump on her bed with her.

     Isabelle and Renee jumped up and down and up and down. Renee's mattress was very bouncy. Isabelle did some front and back somersaults on Renee's bed which had now become a trampoline. Isabelle was an amazing gymnast, she was probably the best gymnast in all of Brambly Corners. After they had worn out their legs from all the jumping they decided to do a calmer activity.

     They pulled out Renee's stuffed animals, Elodie Elephant and Teagan Teddy Bear. Renee played as Teagan, and Isabelle played as Elodie. The girls played for a long time, making up adventures for Elodie and Teagan as they explored the world.

      They were interrupted by Renee's mother who brought them an indoor picnic. For lunch, Raina had made the girls a delicious meal of Berry Salad and Lime Juice (2 Brambly Corners favorites.)
Isabelle and Renee gobbled up the delicious lunch in minutes.

 
     After, Renee and Isabelle had finished their lunch, they decided it was time to get their creative vibes out my drawing on Renee's chalkboard. Renee loved her chalkboard! She used it for everything from her chalk drawing - planning out her week. Isabelle drew a rainbow, a sun, and some clouds while Renee drew flowers next to a house.

     It came time for Isabelle to go back to Brambly Corners, way to soon. The friends were both sad, because they didn't see each other during the summer to often. Though, the school year was approaching fast and soon they would get to see each other everyday. The friends hugged goodbye, and then Isabelle left with her mother.

 As Isabelle's car drove away, Renee retreated back up to her room she realized that today was not a boring day after all, and that it was actually quite the opposite. It was a very exciting day. Renee loved the though that everyday brought new surprises. Renee had never guessed that any of her friends would come to visit her, but yet it had happened. Renee couldn't wait to see what would happen in the days ahead!
