Mickey with Ben

 It was Friday, October 19 and Mr. Pask said, “Ben it's your turn with Mickey Mouse!”. I was super happy! RING! As soon as I heard the bell I ran to show our new family member to my mom and dad. I have had the chance to see the bigger version of Mickey in Disneyland Paris, but never in my house! I was  excited to introduce Mickey to my family. I just had to made sure my crazy dogs didn't eat him.

I made sure he was comfy so we got him a dog bed. To make sure Mickey did not feel alone he slept on my bed in the dog bed. On our first day together we ate breakfast and sat on the couch and watched I Love Lucy. It was the chocolate factory episode which made us really crave chocolate. Then we chilled in my room until we had to leave for swim. Unfortunately Mickey could not come. To make up for that we decided to take Mickey for a sweet treat.

Since Mickey and I had chocolate on our minds from the I Love Lucy episode, we decided to go one of my favorite stores, Apricot, to get a very special chocolate bar. It is called the pistachio chocolate and it is a homemade chocolate bar with pistachios inside. I first did a taste test with my mom and then we brought it home to share with Mickey. While Mickey was excited, my mom told me that chocolate is only for humans so I enjoyed it on my own while Mickey watched. It was a very special weekend and I’m so happy to I was able to share it with Mickey. I hope he enjoys his travels for the remainder of the 2024-2025 school year.
