Life’s A Beach

Happy Summer, Flamingo Fans!

It is soooooo hot. I barely have the energy to type this because Halverston and area is suffering from the worst heat wave that I can remember. When I was little, it never got THIS hot. So, to stay cool, Milo and I have been spending a ton of time at the beach.

I love the beach. Relaxing, making sand castles, swimming, and, best of all, eating ice scream! But, the thing is, every kid in Halverston and area loves the beach too and, unfortunately, the beach is full of things that can get a kid in trouble. It’s been a lot of “Ahh! The seagulls are pooping on me!” and “Ahhh! The Lifeguard is being a control freak!” and “Ahhhhhh! Mutant kid-eating lobsters!!!”

Why Rutger would think it’s a good idea to try and trap lobsters on his own is completely and totally beyond me. But that’s just what he did. What’s funny is that Rutger didn’t even want to eat them. He just thought it would be cool to have a lobster for a pet. But the lobsters thought Rutger wanted to boil them, so they were going to do it to him first! It was up to the Captain to use his powers of persuasion to show the lobsters that Rutger wasn’t evil, just confused.

So, it’s not like we’ve been doing a lot of relaxing.

Which is okay ‘cause being a superhero is all about making sacrifices to protect people. It doesn’t matter if they got in trouble because they weren’t paying attention, or because they have over protective Moms, or because they’re spoiled princesses. It’s Captain Flamingo and his birdbrain’s job to protect the kids of Halverston and area.

Even if we are going through a heatwave. And even if, sometimes, we’d rather just eat ice cream. Speaking of ice cream, I think that’s the sound of the ice cream truck! Gotta go! I’ll write again soon!

P.S.: Chester says his favourite kind of ice cream is Flamingo Pink Strawberry. How ‘bout you?
