I Commune With Nature

Every morning, Mom and I go out and water our garden
and all our vegetables.
These plants are getting huge!!!


Behold! Our first cucumber from our garden!


And there was even another one to pick too!
Our hard work is paying off.


Let's go and get some lettuce now so
we can make a salad!


The tomatoes aren't quite ready yet,
but I'm sure they will be soon.


I sure am proud of our garden!


Watering our plants is thirsty work!


After we water our plants,
we always go see our magnolia tree.


I love smelling those magnolias and
Mom even lets me pick a petal to take inside!
Yep, I'm sure good at this nature stuff!

I Ensure a Bathnight....

The other day, we went into the backyard
and Booboo and I decided that even though
we'd had a bath at lunch time,
we wanted another one.


I told her I knew a perfect way to make sure
we got to play in the bubbles again....


DIRT!


Booboo really liked my idea and dug right in!


It sure was fun making dust clouds!


I think I got a pretty good dusting on myself!


Then it was off to get hot and sweaty
going down my slide!


Yep, I'm a man with a plan!


All that hard work paid off
and wouldn't you know we got 2 baths in 1 day!

I Go to Shogun and It's My New Favorite Place

This weekend I got to go to Shogun for the first time!
I loved all the excitement at the hibachi grill
and I especially loved eating my yummy food with chopsticks!


Booboo had to use her fork at first...


But when she saw how I was eating with these chopsticks....


she decided to give them a try with her other hand.


I sure did like the food at Shogun,
but my favorite was the pond they had inside
with all these big fish!!


I kept telling Dad that they needed my help
getting in my hands.


But he told me they had to stay in the pond.


I'm still talking about that pond and all those fish!
I can't wait to go back and see it all again!

Bouncing

On Friday, there was a picnic at the church
up the street, so I wanted to make sure I was looking my best
when we strolled up there.


At first, I wasn't very impressed with these bouncy things....


I like to use my slide at home,
but this one looked a little different....


This slide certainly was a lot bigger!


And even Booboo and Mom were sliding down
and climbing back up there!


And doesn't Mom know by now that when I'm
in the middle of having a great time is NOT
a good time to stop and say "cheese!"


Back up and down we go!


Then there was this big bouncy room
where we could just jump and jump!


And Dad jumped around too!


It sure was fun having him bounce with me!


Booboo liked doing flips with Dad.


We jumped around so much that Booboo and I
had to help Dad stand up so we could jump some more!
I think I like those bouncy rooms!

My Home Away From Home

Did you know I'm such a strong fellow
that I can control the earth's rotation?


Yep, I've got the whole world in my hands
when I go to the zoo!


And even Cousin McKena loves the zoo too!


Sometimes Dad needs some help identifying all these animals,
so I know he's happy he's got me to point everything out!


The zoo isn't just for looking at animals, though.
It's great for just running around all over!


Hiya Mom!
Too busy to talk now,
I'll catch ya later....


One of my favorite places to see is Gorilla Forest.
I'm sure they miss me when I can't visit.


Even though I wasn't able to feed the giraffes this time,
I still had to go say hello to them.


Another successful zoo visit!
We'll be back soon!
