[0:00] Kitten: Meow, meow, and Clucky are two best friends trying to make sense of the world around them.

[0:12] Clucky: Adventures and discoveries around every bend. Come along and explore with them.

[0:21] Kitten: The Move Part 5. Arrival. We've made it to the end of our season. Enjoy!

[0:29] Clucky: The Move Part 5. Exit.

[0:47] Xander: Hold on, Kitten. Let me pull your carrier out. Mom, should I bring her into the house? I'm afraid she might run off.

[0:56] Mom: Let's hook her leash on her. You can take her for a walk in the yard. Freedom! Mom, I'm not getting back into the car for at least a week.

[1:09] Clucky: Does this mean we're here? Never fear, Clucky. We shall vanquish the shackles that have bound you for so long.

[1:16] Xander: Make sure you put the chickens on their leashes. This is all very new for them and we don't want them wandering off.

[1:23] Mom: There could still be danger in the trees. There aren't any gators or poisonous snakes, but there could be other predators.

[1:30] Kitten: Meow! Stretch! Oh, I'm so tired of being confined. Oh wow, I've never seen so many different colors of green.

[1:43] Xander: Hold on, buddy. Let me hook this up.

[1:46] Clucky: Buck! Oh, me first! I must get out. Get your tail feathers out of my face. Look! I must get out of here. I smell freedom!

[1:59] Mom: Ouch, no pecking. Don't worry, ladies. We'll get you all out.

[2:05] Clucky: Discipline, ladies. Remember your training.

[2:08] Clucky: I'm free! So many smells. I must run. Let me go. Rosie, Rosie, stop. Stop pulling. Must break free. Must smell everything.

[2:38] Mom: Oh, all right. I understand you need to run. I'm just gonna drop your leash. Don't go far.

[2:42] Clucky: Freedom!

[2:47] Clucky: Oh, so many smells.

[2:53] Clucky: Stay back, beast. I just got my freedom and I'm not gonna let you devour me.

[2:59] Clucky: Out of my way, drumstick. I've got stuff to smell.

[3:04] Xander: Whoa, Rosie, slow down. You're scaring the chickens.

[3:09] Mom: Don't worry, Xander. She's just getting her energy out. Come on, Kitten. Do you want to explore over here? There are lots of big boulders, a dry creek bed, and grass over here.

[3:20] Kitten: Me, how? Oh, yes, I need to move. My legs are so stiff and wobbly. That last section of drive up the mountain was so windy. I mean, windy.

[3:35] Clucky: Of course you mean windy. The whole drive was windy in the back of the truck.

[3:40] Kitten: No, windy, not windy. I know it's strange those two words are spelled the same. It's called a heteronym. Words that are spelled the same but are pronounced differently.

[3:50] Clucky: Really? Windy and windy are spelled the same? But they mean two totally different things.

[3:56] Kitten: Windy is like the air blowing my feathers askew the whole trip.

[4:03] Clucky: And windy is like the hairpin turns the truck took as we drove up the mountain road.

[4:10] Kitten: Oh, yeah, I was tossed into the side of the cage so many times.

[4:14] Clucky: You were tossed? I think I have an imprint on my beautiful feathers after a particularly bad bend that pushed me up against the cage and your feathery bottom landed on me.

[4:27] Kitten: It was not my fault. The bottom of our cage is plastic. There was nothing to grip onto.

[4:33] Mom: Calm down, ladies. Don't worry, Brigida, your feathers will unruffle soon. Let's follow Kitten over these rocks and check out this green grass. I've never seen grass this color green. It's very dark.

[4:46] Clucky: Those are more than just rocks. They are boulders. I have never seen so many big rocks in my life.

[4:53] Kitten: I may have to flap my wings to make it over some of these.

[4:58] Clucky: It'll be a good chance to spread your wings after a long drive.

[5:01] Kitten: Indeed, I was afraid we'd never get here.

[5:07] Clucky: Coming through. Look out, feather dusters. I've got a need for speed.

[5:19] Mom: Rosie, are you enjoying your run time? She's so fast. She's doing loops around the yard.

[5:25] Xander: Good thing it's a big yard. It will take her a few minutes before she makes it around again.

[5:33] Mom: Come on, Jack. I'll help you down. Your old bones are looking a bit stiff.

[5:39] Mom: Here, let me just lift you out. There you go. Ruff, at last, out of the car.

[5:45] Jack: Finally making it out, old man. I'm on my second lap around the yard. This place is huge.

[5:54] Jack: So much to explore. So many new smells.

[6:02] Jack: Calm down, you young whippersnapper. Ruff. These old legs just take a bit to get going.

[6:08] Mom: Come on, Captain Jack. Over here is a nice path.

[6:11] Jack: Oh, this grass. It's so green and velvety. Oh, I remember this feeling from our youth spent in Ohio.

[6:18] Jack: It's like a soft green carpet that stretches over the earth. Oh, it's all coming back to me.

[6:23] Clucky: What is Jack doing over there? Is he rolling in the grass?

[6:27] Clucky: Oh, my bloomage. Kitten, you've got to feel this stuff. It's not like the grass we know.

[6:33] Kitten: What do you mean? Oh, my. I see what you mean. It's like my paws have just melted into a lush green carpet. It's so soft. Not the coarse, thick, spongy Florida grass.

[6:56] Clucky: I did not know grass could feel this way.

[7:00] Kitten: Brock, something is wrong. If you scratch it with your claws, there's this dark black substance under it. It is not sand.

[7:12] Clucky: Brock, what is that? Is it dangerous? I hope not. It seems to be stuck to my claw.

[7:21] Kitten: It's not falling off like sand. Are you hurt? How does it feel?

[7:26] Clucky: Isn't that dirt? A hurt at my heart. No, it's not dirt. It's dark, evil, and vile. Maybe it's dirt. I think it's a curse. It's on your toes. Will I be marked forever? Grass all around us, so soft and brand new. Feels like velvet under my paws. So soft, so green, so soft, so green.

[8:05] Clucky: So many shades of green. How can we name them all?

[8:12] Kitten: Do you think I will be marked by this dirt forever?

[8:17] Clucky: Coming around again. Can you believe all the different greens there are here?

[8:25] Kitten: That darn dog. I wish she would quit startling us like that.

[8:30] Clucky: Meow. Oh, Bella, she's just excited too. Really, show some restraint.

[8:36] Kitten: There are so many different types of plants and trees I've never seen before.

[8:40] Clucky: So many new things to sample. I wonder what all these different greens taste like.

[8:47] Kitten: According to Jacob Olson and the Color Meanings website, there are 134 different shades of green.

[8:53] Clucky: Why do you know that? Do you think it means there are 134 different flavors?

[8:59] Kitten: Maddox and I have been looking up all kinds of facts about Washington. Its nickname is the Evergreen State. This green grass tastes much sweeter than the Florida grass.

[9:10] Clucky: How many different shades of green do you see?

[9:13] Kitten: I see lime, sea foam, pear, seaweed, crocodile, and pickle.

[9:18] Clucky: Pickle?

[9:19] Kitten: Yeah, Xander gave me a pickle as a snack on the way up.

[9:23] Clucky: I guess I don't see that shade, but it was on my mind.

[9:26] Kitten: Meow. Oh, Clucky, your shades of green seem to remind you all of Florida.

[9:32] Clucky: I see moss, pine, juniper, mint, fern, and evergreen.

[9:36] Kitten: Look at you. Those shades sound like they come from washing machine. I mean Washington.

[9:43] Clucky: I guess we'd better learn to say the state right if we want others to believe we live here now.

[9:50] Kitten: Why is it called the Evergreen State? Does that mean we won't have to worry about this fluffy white blanket of dew? Also known as snow.

[9:59] Clucky: I wish that was true, Bella. No, it is July and very green right now because it is summer. All the trees have their leaves. It's called the Evergreen State because of all the different types of pine trees or evergreen trees. They have needle-like leaves and do not lose their color or fall off all year round, unlike the deciduous trees.

[10:18] Mom: Bless you.

[10:19] Clucky: What? I did not sneeze. I said deciduous trees.

[10:22] Mom: Bless you again?

[10:24] Clucky: No, Brigitte. A deciduous tree is one that loses its leaves in the fall or winter.

[10:29] Kitten: You have not moved very far. Did you see? There's a paw with lily pads.

[10:40] Clucky: I wonder if there are fish. Ay yi yi. I had better get another look.

[10:52] Kitten: Tarnation! That little beast surprised me again.

[10:55] Clucky: I get she's excited to be out of the car, but really?

[11:00] Kitten: She is slowing down some.

[11:02] Clucky: There's a pond? What if there's a gator in that one?

[11:05] Kitten: Oh no!

[11:07] Clucky: Don't worry, Brigitte. Alligators do not live in Washington.

[11:12] Kitten: Oh, I see it from this boulder. Oh, my tail feathers. That little beast is right. This yard is huge.

[11:20] Clucky: There's a pond with a little bridge and waterfall.

[11:23] Kitten: Hop. Oh, my. We are up so high. I can see so many things.

[11:29] Clucky: What on earth is that?

[11:33] Kitten: The giant pointed thing covered in what?

[11:36] Clucky: Meow! That's Mount Hood. Medic said you could see it from the yard. It's enormous.

[11:42] Kitten: This is not Flatland.

[11:47] Clucky: Are we in danger of falling off?

[11:49] Bella: Why is that one white?

[11:52] Clucky: The rest of the hills are green and have the spiky trees.

[11:56] Bella: Those spiky trees are pine trees.

[11:58] Clucky: They look like the big tree that they bring out in the winter at Christmas with all those yummy treats underneath.

[12:05] Bella: Yes, you are right, Clucky. They do use pine trees for Christmas trees.

[12:10] Clucky: But why is that mountain thingy white when everything else is green?

[12:15] Bella: It's because it's so high up. It's a different climate.

[12:19] Clucky: I don't want a climate. I'll freeze my toes. I'm pretty sure they don't make chicken boots.

[12:25] Bella: No, Clucky. A climate is a long-term weather pattern in a region.

[12:30] Bella: It means the weather up on the mountain is very different from the weather up here.

[12:34] Clucky: But we're on a mountain too.

[12:37] Bella: True, but our mountaintop is just under 2,000 feet.

[12:40] Clucky: But Mount Hood is 11,249 feet in elevation.

[12:46] Clucky: There's an elevator?

[12:50] Bella: Elevation, not elevator.

[12:54] Bella: Elevation is the measurement from sea level, where the ocean is, to the height of where the land we're standing on.

[13:00] Clucky: So Florida must have been close to sea level because Piper said she had flown to the ocean to get fish and she never mentioned any big hills.

[13:05] Bella: Did Florida even have hills? I don't remember seeing any from our perch.

[13:14] Bella: Very observant, Bella. You are correct. Florida is very flat.

[13:19] Bella: Our little town was only 25 feet above sea level.

[13:22] Clucky: 25 feet? That's only two and a half alligators long. That's not very high at all.

[13:28] Bella: We are so much higher now. It's amazing how much more we can see.

[13:33] Clucky: What is that blue thing down there?

[13:36] Bella: Oh, that's the Columbia River. It separates Oregon State from Washington.

[13:42] Clucky: We can see two different states? We're so international.

[13:47] Bella: No, Clucky. International would mean we would be able to see two different countries.

[13:52] Bella: These are states.

[13:54] Clucky: Oh, so we're interstatal.

[13:56] Bella: No, I don't think that's a thing.

[13:59] Clucky: Big white mountain at 12 o'clock. Have you guys seen all that snow?

[14:10] Rosie: Meow!

[14:13] Bella: Oh, she caught me off guard again.

[14:16] Clucky: Do we need to worry about all that snow?

[14:19] Bella: Is it heading this way?

[14:21] Clucky: Maybe it'll get this dirt off my claw.

[14:24] Bella: Hold on. I told you Mount Hood was a different climate.

[14:27] Bella: It's much cooler up there and they can have snow all year round.

[14:32] Bella: We are safe. It is July. It's the middle of summer and we have many months before we'll have snow up here.

[14:38] Clucky: How can you be sure? It does not look that far away.

[14:42] Clucky: What if it sneaks over here at night like a fox?

[14:46] Bella: Do you feel that chill in the air?

[14:50] Bella: Ladies, ladies, calm down.

[14:54] Bella: Oh, look around you. The view will astound you. We've made it to the top of the world.

[15:19] Clucky: A mountain with snow and a river below. What else will we find here on top of the world?

[15:27] Clucky: But what lurks in that shade or behind the glade? It feels quite cold here on top of the world.

[15:35] Clucky: So many unknowns. And did something just moan here on top of the world?

[15:45] All: Have no fear. We're all right here. Have no fear. We're all right here.

[15:53] All: Family here on top of the world. Family here on top of the world.

[16:02] All: Got to be with my family. Got to be with my family.

[16:10] All: Here on top of the world. Here on top of the world. Family.

[16:17] Clucky: Great song. We are on top of the world.

[16:23] Bella: Do you think the air is thinner up here?

[16:30] Clucky: Brooke, can we kick her out of the family?

[16:33] Bella: I vote yes. I don't think my ticker can take many more surprises. Cock-a-doodle-doo.

[16:39] Clucky: I mean, really.

[16:41] Bella: We don't vote family members out. We all have different challenges and strengths.

[16:46] Rosie: Meow, I am glad we have Rosie on our side. She keeps us on our toes and she's always looking out for us.

[16:53] Clucky: Or making us look out for her. Brock!

[16:56] Rosie: Meow, I know she can be a little much at times, but she means well. She's just more excited than most.

[17:05] Clucky: Is what she said true? Is the air thinner up here? Is that another thing we need to worry about?

[17:13] Bella: Oh my, I thought my legs were just wobbly from being in the truck so long. Maybe it's because I'm not getting enough air. Brock!

[17:22] Rosie: Meow, meow, meow.

[17:25] Clucky: What are you laughing at?

[17:27] Rosie: Brock! Brock!

[17:29] Clucky: I don't see how lack of air is a laughing matter.

[17:33] Rosie: Meow, it's not. But we are in no danger of low oxygen up here.

[17:38] Rosie: The oxygen level at sea level is 20.9% and at 2,000 feet it's 19.4%.

[17:46] Rosie: This is not a level that any of us would even notice.

[17:50] Rosie: Most people don't start feeling the effects of altitude until at least 5,000 feet of elevation.

[17:57] Rosie: And then the oxygen is still at 17.3%. Most people only notice it when they do an activity or a sport.

[18:05] Rosie: Rosie is panting because she has been running the entire time we've been out of the car.

[18:11] Clucky: Why do you know that?

[18:14] Rosie: Meow, it was a very long trip and Maddox and I read a lot of books on Washington and mountains on the way here.

[18:21] Clucky: It sure was a lot of driving to get here. I hope I never have to get in a truck again.

[18:27] Clucky: I could not make it around again. It is too big. So many smells.

[18:42] Clucky: Must lay down.

[18:48] Rosie: Oh my, this grass is so soft.

[18:56] Clucky: I think I'm going to like it here. If this place can put that little beast to sleep, it can't be all that bad.

[19:10] Bella: But there are so many new and strange things like all the different greens, the prickly trees and the snow covered mountains.

[19:18] Bella: The strange noises, the hills, waterfall, the pond. I feel so small. It's so overwhelming.

[19:28] Bella: Don't worry, we have lots of time to explore and discover all the new things around us.

[19:33] Bella: That's right. We'll discover it all together.

[19:38] Bella: Okay kids, come on. Let's get all the animals in and get them settled for the night.

[19:45] Clucky: Mom, do we have to go in already?

[19:50] Bella: Come on kitten, I'll show you our new room.

[19:53] Rosie: Meow. Good night ladies and Clucky. I can hardly wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

[19:59] Bella: Come on Xander, I'll help you get the chickens settled in the garage for tonight. We can move them out to their new coop tomorrow.

[20:05] Clucky: Mom, Clucky and I did not have a chance to battle the bushes yet.

[20:11] Bella: A bush battle? Show me where.

[20:16] Clucky: Look, he's excited.

[20:19] Bella: There will be plenty of battles ahead of you both. It's been a long day for everyone.

[20:24] Bella: Look at poor Rosie. I think she's fallen asleep on the grass.

[20:29] Bella: Okay, come on Commander Clucky and ladies, let's find you a nice spot for the night. I'll grab some extra worms and grass for you two.

[20:37] Clucky: You had me at worms. Bork!

[20:40] Clucky: Bork, bork. Fall in line ladies, there's food awaiting.

[20:44] Clucky: All this fresh air has made me hungry. I wonder what our new coop will be like.

[20:50] Bella: Oh, poor Rosie. You just tuckered yourself out.

[20:55] Clucky: Smell. Over there.

[21:09] Bella: Hush now, I'll carry you in.

[21:11] Bella: Come on Jack, looks like everyone is headed in.

[21:14] Bella: All but this grass, rough.

[21:16] Bella: Come on boy.
