Well, Trader Joe’s is a fun as ever! Not only do I get to help with the shopping by pushing the small shopping cart, I get to help unload the carts, too. Watch!
Last week, Avery and her Mommy and Daddy came to visit. It started with a pickup at the airport.
It wasn’t long before I was giving rides on my trike to my cuz’.
The next day, we went to see the big trees.
Yep. They’re still really big. We had fun collecting sticks.
On Saturday, I took Avery to my favorite park where you can feed the ducks. We found out they like bread better than lettuce… just like us!
After that I got to try out a REAL power digger. With this one, you pull the levers to move the scooper from side to side and up and down, and there’s one to open and close it, too!
And after that it was time for a ride on the train, and then one on the merry-go-round.
Wow, was that a fun day!
On Sunday, Uncle John and Aunt Heather took us to a castle! It had a moat, drawbridge, and what Daddy says is called a “portcullis”, which is a really spiky looking front door. Boy could you see a long way from the top of the castle.
After the castle, it was time for a ride to the park. I went in front so that Avery could follow me because I knew the way.
We mostly went on the slides and bars at the park.
I turns out is is really fun to slide right into the wood chips. The bigger the pile, the better!
After we were done at the park, we got a tow back home up the hill.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Thanks for coming to visit guys! I had a really fun time! Come back any time!
We went to Liz and Derek’s for a Fourth of July BBQ, and they have a Bocce court at their park! I have to say, the adults were having a hard time sharing their Bocce balls, even when they were just lying around like they weren’t using them. Derek says they were playing a style called “Old Italian Rules”. But I have an idea….Maybe next time, we can bring some extra balls and I can plan on the adjacent court with a style called “Three-year old Rules”.
Liz tried to give me some pointers, but the best way to learn is to try it yourself!
I also got to sit in Liz and Derek’s motorcycle sidecar….with a nice stuffed animal that everyone else calls an “Angry Bird”. But if you ask me, I call it a ‘mad chick’!
Hi Everybody! I’m at our house in SunRiver now. And cousin Avery came too!
We went for a ride to the park first thing the next day. Avery is a good passenger because she doesn’t take up too much space on the seat. And she didn’t try to take my snacks, either.
At the park, I went on the Christmas tree merry-go-round first. After that was slides, see saws, and tire swings.
Then I was all tuckered out. I was even too tired to stay awake up on the top bunk that I got to sleep in!
Later, we had dinner and games over at Uncle Tommy and Aunt Danee’s place.
We played cousin Christine’s ‘bolo’ game where you get to throw stuff. Here, I’m showing Ma the “ropes”. Get it?
