00:29illustrated by Frank Wemkowitz
00:34Froggy called his father.
00:36What?
00:38Up and at'em!
00:39Today is the day we're going on vacation.
00:45Yippee! cried Froggy.
00:47And he sang.
00:49We're going on vacation.
00:51We're going to Hawaii.
00:53We're going on vacation.
00:55We're going to Hawaii.
01:00It's time to pack! yelled his dad.
01:03So Froggy hopped out of bed
01:05and packed his toy plane.
01:07Zoom!
01:08His toy boat.
01:09Vroom!
01:10And his ukulele.
01:11Plink!
01:15Froggy! called his mother.
01:18What?
01:19Don't forget your bathing suit, dear.
01:22I know! cried Froggy.
01:25And he grabbed his backpack
01:26and flopped out to the taxi.
01:28Flop! Flop! Flop!
01:33Are you going to Hawaii in your pajamas?
01:37Frogalina laughed.
01:38Oops! cried Froggy.
01:40And he flopped back to his room to get dressed.
01:43Flop! Flop! Flop!
01:48When Froggy came back,
01:49Frogalina waved goodbye
01:51and off to the airport they went.
01:53Beep! Beep! Beep!
01:59At the airport,
02:00they had to wait in a long line.
02:02Froggy didn't like waiting in line.
02:05So he leapfrogged over his mom.
02:07He leapfrogged over his dad.
02:09He leapfrogged over Poliwagalina.
02:12And fell flat on his face.
02:15Oof!
02:16Hehehehe! giggled Poli.
02:18And dad said,
02:19Froggy, when you get to Hawaii,
02:21don't act like a nincompoop.
02:25When they finally got on the airplane,
02:27they flew and flew and flew.
02:30But Froggy couldn't sit still.
02:32So he flopped up to the front.
02:34Flop! Flop! Flop!
02:35And sang to the pilot.
02:37We're going on vacation!
02:39We're going to Hawaii!
02:45Froggy! called his mom.
02:47What?
02:48Please sit down, now!
02:51And his dad said,
02:52When you get to Hawaii,
02:54I know! cried Froggy.
03:00But when they got to Hawaii,
03:02Froggy went bananas!
03:08He raced through a giant bamboo forest
03:11and had a ninja fight with a coconut tree.
03:14Hi-ya!
03:15Whack! Whack! Whack!
03:16Bonk!
03:17A coconut hit him on the head
03:19and knocked him down.
03:22He got so hot in the jungle,
03:25he had to dive into a nice, cool stream
03:28and almost went over a waterfall.
03:31Help!
03:32Mom snatched him just in time.
03:38Next day, they climbed a volcano.
03:41Look! yelled Froggy.
03:43Lava!
03:44He was so excited.
03:46He climbed the volcano
03:48Lava!
03:49He was so excited.
03:51He almost fell in.
03:53Oops! cried Froggy,
03:55hanging onto dad's neck like a monkey.
04:01Next day, he did a hula dance in a grass skirt.
04:04Hula! Hula! Hula!
04:06And even the minor birds laughed.
04:08Cack! Cack! Cack!
04:13And the day after that,
04:15he surfed, riding his dad's shoulders
04:17with his hands over dad's eyes.
04:19Wipe out!
04:24On their last day in Hawaii,
04:26they sailed out on the four winds.
04:29Froggy borrowed his dad's binoculars
04:31to look for sea turtles, whales, and dolphins.
04:34He got a little seasick.
04:36Blah!
04:37So he looked even greener than usual.
04:43When they dropped anchor at a coral reef,
04:46Froggy had to be the first one in.
04:48He ripped open his backpack
04:50and took out his toy plane.
04:52Zoom!
04:53His toy boat.
04:54Vroom!
04:55And his toy ukulele.
04:56Blink!
04:57Oh, no! cried Froggy.
04:59I forgot my bathing suit.
05:05Oh, Froggy.
05:07Mom sighed.
05:08So Froggy had to go snorkeling
05:10in his dolphin underwear.
05:12He pulled on his flippers.
05:14Zoop!
05:15Put on his mask and snorkel.
05:17Zoop!
05:18And push past everybody.
05:20Flop!
05:21Flop!
05:22Splash!
05:26He glubbed and blubbed and almost sank.
05:29Then popped up,
05:30holding his dad's binoculars.
05:32Oops!
05:33spluttered Froggy,
05:34looking more red in the face than green.
05:40Oh, Froggy, said his dad.
05:43What did I tell you?
05:44When you get to Hawaii...
05:46Look, Dad!
05:47Giant sea turtles!
05:49Froggy tossed at his binos
05:51and took off after them.
05:57Froggy! called his dad.
05:59What?
06:01Wait for me!
06:02And he jumped in after him.
06:04Flop!
06:05Flop!
06:06Splash!
06:10By the time the boat picked them up...
06:15Dad was too pooped to pop.
06:18When we get back home, he groaned,
06:21I need a vacation!
06:23Me too, cried Froggy.
06:26Next time, let's go for two weeks!
06:44Thank you so much for watching!
