Dear Miss England’s class,

Hello from Phoenix, Arizona! Phoenix is in the south west United States and would take over a day to drive from Nashville. So Tidy Teddy flew on an airplane for his visit and it only took about three hours. Phoenix is a desert climate, which means most of the year it is very hot and dry!

We had a lot of fun with Tidy Teddy. He quickly made friends with my three dogs and all we went camping together! Teddy helped to set up a tent for us to sleep in, and then we started a campfire. We cooked our dinner over the campfire and sat next to it to warm up when the sun went down. The next day we went for a hike and explored Arizona – everyone was so tired we slept in the car on the way home!

When we got back to Phoenix, Teddy and I went on a bike ride together. We talked about how it is important to wear a helmet to stay safe on the bike and Teddy had a special blue helmet to wear.

We had a great visit and Teddy is welcome back in Phoenix anytime!

Sincerely,
Emily, Andrew, Milo, Mocha, and Annabelle
