Leonardo was a lizard...but not just any lizard he was a LEAPing lizard!!

there was nothing he enjoyed more than LEAPing around.  He would sometimes land in inconveninet spots ...like on other animals...

or sometimes he would hop up to the snake plant...just to see if it was growing any snakes

...no luck so far.

 

One fine Saturday morning he got a call from his buddy Larry. 

Larry loved to lounge around on hs favorite comfy chair.

 

and he also owned a lizard bar named...wait for it...LARRYS.  (he wasnt the most imaginative lizard)

so for the dual reason he was affectionately known as Larry the Lounge lizard.

...anyway back to the story.  

Larry invited Leonardo to LARRYS for some hang out time and of course Leonardo said YES!!  heading to LARRYS was a great reason to LEAP a lot...not that he really needed a reason.

Can you follow Leonardo to LARRYS?  if you get there you can probably sign LARRYS guest book.

 

Leonardos house is at the posted coordinates and it faces east

Leonardo opened his front door: LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP wow that sun is bright this morning Leonardo turned right so the sun wasnt in his face anymore LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP out of the corner of his eye Leonardo spotted a juicy grub to the west LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, gulp chomp chomp mmmm that was yummy  now back to leaping  he turned left to continue his journey LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP.  To his left he spotted a Fox curled up and sleeping.  I wonder how many leaps it would take to land on him.  He turned towards the Fox LEAP, LEAP,LEAP, LEAP and he landed on the fox who was so startled he shook Leonardo off and ran away.  Leo dusted himself off and decided to head west for a bit so the sun could warm his back LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP.  the someone called him  YOOHOO!

Goodbye".  Leo thought it was a great idea for Lizzy to come by and after a reply "Goodbye" he was ready for some more leaping.  He was feeling a bit peckish still and remembered passing a blackberry bush on his way to see Lizzy so he turned around and LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP stopped for a quick blackberry gulp.  Leo turned left to continue his journey LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP.  OOOH Shiny!  what is that?  Leo turned right to investigate. LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP   I dont know what it is but its round with a silver outside and a yellow inside and there was a picture of a bear on it.  what a great piece of art but it was too heavy for him to lift so he decided to remember where it was and bring the gang back later to collect it.  Leo turned around LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP.  Hey that looks like a jumping spiderup ahead, those are always fun to chase and tough to catch, but tasty. LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP...missed and it jumped to the left Leo turned to chase LEAP, LEAP turn left LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP turn left again LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP another left LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP turn right LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP whoops overshot him turn around LEAP turn right LEAP, LEAP, LEAP almost had him there LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP got him!!!!!  Munch Munch Munch!  Wow that was fun.  Well look at that, I am almost at LARRYS LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP, LEAP and turn right LEAP, LEAP, LEAP.

Larry and a couple of the gang were waiting for him and they all lounged around the way lizards do and made a plan to go pick up that piece of art later.
