Twinkie's Adventure

Twinkie was named Twinkie because he resembled a delicious Hostess brand Twinkie. But he was different from Joe's other stuffed friends. He wanted to travel and see other places. Joe's mom was traveling to Utah, and Twinkie asked her if he could go too. Even though packing space was tight, Mom decided there was room for one small hamster, especially if he traveled by moose-shaped carabineer. Twinkie got to talk with his old pals Woodstock and Snoopy before leaving the St Paul/Minneapolis Airport. He found that the moose antlers sort of looked like wings, which went along with the whole "flying" theme of the day!

Twinkie liked watching the planes until it was their turn to board.

During the flight, the flight attendants gave Mom pretzels, but no pretzels for hamsters. :( But Mom shared with him. :)

Maybe we should write to Southwest about their anti- stuffed hamster policy. Look at the sadness on his little face!

At Women's Conference, Mom and Stacy made little tiny baby bracelets for a service project. They made Twinkie feel pretty.

The view from the dorm room was excellent! Did you know that you can get pizza delivered to the dorm?

One small hamster. 20,000 LDS women in the Marriot Center. Can't you just feel the waves of estrogen? Elder and Sister Oakes spoke in the last session. It was very emotional. Mom forgot her Kleenex and wiped her tears on Twinkie!! But he didn't mind. He totally understood.

The Denver Airport had a moving sidewalk! It was so fun! It made Twinkie and Mom just a little motion sick, especially when they had to travel to their departure gate really quickly!!!

On the way home, Twinkie scored a window seat. He loved the view from the plane. It's a good thing Mom loves carabineers!
