The state of DC, known as the District of Columbia, is not just another state, oh no! It’s a buzzing, whirling city, where buildings seem to touch the sky and dreams are as big as the impressive Lincoln Memorial. It’s not a state, but it’s not a city either… It’s a district! A district filled with history, mystery, and loads of super-cool things to see. And guess what? It’s precisely the place where our funny friend, Sammie the Squirrel, loves to take kids on the most amazing field trips! Now, you might be thinking, "A squirrel leading a field trip? That's nuts!" Well, that's Sammie for you, always a bit nutty. He's a chubby-cheeked, all-knowing squirrel with a love for history, and an even bigger love for making kids giggle. He wears a pair of tiny, round glasses perched on his twitchy nose, a red bow tie that’s always slightly crooked and carries a nut-shaped bag filled with interesting facts. The kids who join Sammie on his field trips are the most curious, adventurous, and let’s not forget, the funniest gang of explorers you'll ever meet. They're from all corners of the country, each bringing their own excitement and a backpack full of questions. They love to laugh, learn, and explore. Whether they're tiptoeing through the Library of Congress trying not to wake up the 'sleeping books', or getting lost among the towering statues at the National Mall, these kids know how to turn any old field trip into an unforgettable adventure. And Sammie the Squirrel? Well, he's there to make sure they have a nutty good time doing it!
