My California Diary Blog

  Okay, I’m gonna blow your minds with this one. Back in 1997, I got to spend the holidays in California with my grandma Rose and grandpa Joe in December.

And during my visit at the Klavers’ house in California, I got slimed in the backyard for the very first time. And if you thought I can get slimed for one time only, think again. We’re doing it again! When I visit California or live in California again, we’re have another Nickelodeon themed party at Scotts Valley. It’s that time again to get slimed on the head! 2019 is when I got slimed for the first time since I visited. Now here how you can make your own green slime at home.
