Backyard camping.

This is where I slept last night with Dad. I didn't even wake up during the thunder and lightning storm that passed by, but Dad told me about it when I saw that everything outside was wet in the morning.

Dinosaur BBQ

Mom and Dad brought me to a place called Dinosaur Bar-B-Que on Sunday for dinner. We sat at a picnic table outside on a deck, near the river. I colored a dinosaur picture and put stickers all over myself. Then we listened to people play music and ate yummy chicken, pork, catfish, mac and cheese, and baked beans! On the way back to the car, I stopped to look at a motorcycle. The man who owned it asked if I wanted to sit on it! He was nice and his motorcycle was BIG! Dad told me that Uncle Spike and Uncle Mike both have motorcycles, too, called a Harley-Davidson, just like the nice man at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. Someday I'll get a motorcycle and Mommy will faint.

Massachusetts weekend.

I went to Massachusetts with Mom and Dad this weekend. We stayed with Aunt Tory Reierson and her family in Acton. On Saturday we drove to Rockport in Cape Ann and had lunch at a place called the Lobster Pool. I don't know why they call it that because I didn't see any lobsters or a pool. But Dad and I did get to paint a clam shell. After that we all went to Halibut Point State Park (where I saw no halibut). We walked along the trails down to the ocean and then back around and up to the old granite quarry and fire tower. That's where I got to see the snake exhibit! The snake expert, Rick, let me touch a milk snake and a water snake and a rat snake... (I won't post any pictures as a favor to Grandma M). After that we went back to Tory's and built a fort with blankets and the table, and Haley played with me in it! 

On Sunday, Mom and Dad brought me into Boston where we visited the New England Aquarium. I got to see harbor seals and penguins, lots of different fish and frogs, sea turtles, a shark, a lobster, jellyfish and more! Plus, I was even able to touch a starfish and a stingray! Then we walked to Faneuil Hall and had lunch in the Quincy Market. A lady on South Market Street made me a brontosaurus balloon, and I got to ride on the carousel, twice! I had a busy weekend and a lot of fun in Massachusetts.

Aiden's 1st Birthday Party

I went to my pal Aiden's birthday party on Sunday and had a fun time. There were frog decorations everywhere and green cupcakes! I had some lunch, sang "Happy Birthday" to Aiden, ran around a little bit, and kicked a ball with a new friend named Thomas. He's a big kid whose parents are friends with my Mom and Dad. It was a good party.

July 4th weekend.

I had a busy busy weekend. I went swimming with my friends Jake and Kyle, ate lots and lots of watermelon at my cousin Sierra's graduation party, went to the Farmers Market and ate pickles and granola (not together), played in my pool, squirted G'Pa with a water gun and ran through the sprinklers with Dad. I even made a picklepine (pickle porcupine) with toothpicks and a pickle (then Dad ate it, minus the toothpicks). I was so busy every day that I was tired (and asleep) before any fireworks went off. Oh well, there's always next year.

家歓迎

On Sunday, I went with Mom and Dad to Kingston for a family dinner to welcome cousins Brad, Kelly, Olivia and Alessandra back from Okinawa, where they lived for the last three years. I never met Brad before. The last time he was home, I was still in Mommy's belly. I had a really good time playing with all my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. And then Uncle Joe and Aunt Ruth had a party at an Italian Restaurant! Salute!

The Pumpkin Patch Kid

This is me and my pumpkin patch that I planted with Grandpa L.

Happy Father's Day!

I went to the Farmer's Market this morning with Mom and Dad and ate some granola and got a dinosaur balloon from Mr. Twisty. Then, back home to play in the yard, splash in the pool and have fun with Cousin Sophia and my pal Aiden. It was a good day.

Now it feels like Summer.

I went outside this evening to help Dad water the plants. He thought that maybe he'd just set up the sprinkler to take care of things and I thought that since it was so warm out that maybe I'd better jump through the spray for a while. It was fun. I got wet. Then we ate dinner on the patio. Then the moon came out. Then it was time for bed. Good night, moon.

School photos

I almost forgot about these. Whataya think?
