Made our first trip to Bowman Orchards this season for strawberry picking. I only picked about 10 berries. Of those, maybe 4 made it into my basket. After snacking on strawberries in the fields, I said hello to the animals and played at the playground. Then finished off my Bowman experience with an ice cream cone.

Day of the Cicada

On the way back up from visiting Ken & Tom at their new place in Dobbs Ferry, we stopped at a park with a fun playground in Wappingers Falls. Up the hill from the swings, on the edge of the woods, were hundreds of bugs, flying and crawling around and making a lot of noise. Dad told me they were called cicadas, and they only show up for a few weeks every 17 years. They were big, with red eyes and cool looking wings. Dad said they were harmless and he let them land on him and crawl around. I figured I'd give 'em a chance, too. They tickled as they crawled up my arm where I got to inspect them up close. I'll be 21 the next time the cicadas show up at that park.

Vegetable garden

I drew this at school today. There are some clouds and rain, the sun, a rainbow, a scarecrow holding a watering can, a crow (I guess he wasn't scared), some peppers, carrots, tomatoes, and a pumpkin.

mi-Pad

So, Mom and Dad got an iPad recently. And I have to admit, it's been a lot of fun using it to play games (even the educational ones), watch shows and listen to music. But, in case you're worried that I'm turning in to an always-plugged-in computer zombie, I want to assure you that I'm still a big fan of other forms of entertainment, like my Thomas trains, reading books, Alphie the Playskool Robot, and LEGO blocks.

I built this.

Starting Summer a little early.

It was still 3 weeks before the official start of summer, but time for our first trip to Cape Cod! The weather was beautiful and warm and sunny. The beaches were not crowded at all. The hammock was relaxing. It was great!
