South of the Bahamas

Tony and Alex were brothers who liked to go on adventures together.

They were in the Bahamas for a fishing trip. They rented a fast speed boat and set out to catch Free Willie, an orca that lived in the Bahamas.

After fishing for a while, they caught the wild orca! What a surprise!

When they caught Free Willie, they said, “Now what do we do?” They put a tag on his fin. But they didn’t see a dock for miles. They drove very fast with the orca in a net above the boat until they found a dock. 

They didn’t know it was secretly a portal! They stepped out of the boat but instead of stepping onto the usual wooden dock, suddenly they stepped through the portal right into Antarctica!
​

Free Willie followed them through the portal and leaped right into the cold, fresh water when he landed in Antarctica. He felt so happy! 
But Tony and Alex were in trouble. They were wearing shorts and tank tops, which are good for the Bahamas but not for Antarctica. Man, were they cold! They needed some winter attire right away so they wouldn’t catch pneumonia.
​
They met a group of scientists who were studying the coldest killer whales on Earth. The scientists were surprised to see Tony and Alex. “What are you two doing here?” they asked. “We don’t know how we got here! We ended up in a portal,” they said. The scientists took them in and gave them warm clothes and heavy parkas to wear. They gave them hot cocoa in Vikings Yeti cups.
That night, they watched the Southern Lights with the scientists through binoculars and telescopes. 

Free Willie had gone to find his family. He found them nearby, and they were so happy to see each other again!

Tony and Alex spent the night with the scientists at their research station. The next morning, they said goodbye and thank you to the scientists. They went back to the portal and stepped through . . . right back onto the beach in the Bahamas, still wearing their Antarctica parkas. 
​
“What an adventure!” they laughed.

We Will Frost You

(to the tune of Queen’s “We Will Rock You”)
Bruce and Andrew woke to a fresh snow, ready for adventures winter-style!
Put on their boots, bundled outside, laughed and kicked the snow all around.
We will, we will frost you
We will, we will frost you

Bruce and Andrew took a big sled to Buck Hill, tobogganing together for a winter thrill!
Singing we will, we will frost you
We will, we will frost you

Bruce and Andrew rolled snow into big piles, planning to make two snowmen alike
Smiles on their face, standing in place, it was Frosty and his snowy wife!
We will, we will frost you
We will, we will frost you

Bruce and Andrew planned a ride to the famous Joe’s Bar
To have a near beer and listen to guitar
They took a snowmobile across the slopes, got to the bar and told some jokes!
Then they sang: “Frosty the snowman was a grumpy stumpy soul”
No! They sang we will, we will frost you
We will, we will frost you!

Frosty the Grumpy Snowman

Frosty the Snowman was a grumpy, stumpy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
Who wanted a wife made of snow.

Frosty the Snowman had a clever plan in mind
To make his way to the coldest place
to explore the wild North Pole.

He stole a truck when he got to the Pole right from those busy elves
And when they found their truck was gone, they cried among themselves.

Frosty the Snowman drove around to find some friends
Looking here and there, all around the square
And found Rudolph ‘round the bend.

He jumped right in that moving truck to share some fun and play 
Frosty smiled and hit the gas and they were on their way!

Thumpety thump thump, grumpity grump grump - Look at Frosty go!
Thumpety thump thump, grumpity grump grump - Over the hills of snow!

A trail of toys across the snow led them to the man in red
When Frosty asked for a new snow wife, this is what he said: 
“Ho ho ho ho ho!”

Santa used his magic to make a snowy wife, and Rudolph used a magic rose 
To bring that wife to life!

Thumpity thump thump, grumpity grump grump - Look at Frosty go
Thumpity thump thump, grumpity grump grump - Over the hills of snow!

Frosty and Mrs. climbed into Santa’s sleigh
They flew all night to the place just right: Minnesota USA!

Santa used his magic to freeze them for all time
And now they live year-round in frost and enjoy their life just fine!

Thumpity thump thump, grumpity grump grump - Look at the Frosties go!
Thumpity thump thump, grumpity grump grump – in the land of snow!
