Budding chef

I'm not sure if you're aware....but...I LOVE the food network. Mom and Dad often let me watch a little TV in the afternoon. It used to be that I'd watch a little Thomas the Train, Backyardigans or some other age-appropriate TV (usually DVD). BUT...now I'm hooked on the food network (I'll never tell how I came to know it was on channel 'four-four'...it's a secret. Drives Mom and Dad nuts that they don't know how I discovered it. hee hee). Anyhow...I love to put on cooking shows for Mom and Dad (and anyone else who will listen). Recently, I've taken to grilling--because it's a great way to get "added flavor". I didn't have a grill so Mom came up with a great idea and voila--an indoor grill. Please note how organized I am...(see tools under the grill, as well as the fish I have prepared)...oh yeah...I'm going to be on Hell's Kitchen some day. Oops....don't let Mom and Dad know I'm watching TV after bed time too. Shhhhhhhh.....

Campin' in Shirley

Why the rain boots you ask? Grammie and Grampie had a full house, so me, Mom and Dad camped out in the backyard! Had a blast...

Gramps

So, I'm totally going out of order....but...that's what happens when you're way behind (Hey--time flies when you're having fun!). My Gramps came all the way from North Dakota for a visit...and we had a blast. Tractor ridin', bedtime stories and LOTS of hooks, and double hooks. If you don't know about hooks...just ask my Gramps, he'll tell you all about them.

Summer Break.

Another great vacation at Hermit Island!! We lucked out with GREAT weather and GREAT company (Auntie Erica, Uncle Tate, and "my" Denali and Lylah).

My first "moderate" hike: Great Head in Acadia

After my night with Papa & Nanny, Mom and Dad came and picked me up and we headed to Acadia--it was a warm sunny day in Maine--you have to soak it up when you can! We packed a picnic lunch and zipped to Sand Beach (my favorite place) and then headed for the rocks at the end of the beach for a nice hike. I listened, followed directions and didn't fall off the cliff. Whew! Guess that means I'll get to go again sometime. The little man is growing up.

When the cats are away, the mice will play...

Why the head gear you ask????

To block out the noise from the lawnmower while I raced Papa of course!!!


Mom and Dad went out for a night on the town...and I got to hang with Papa and Nanny. Overnight. Oh yeah! You see, at P&N's house, we "break the rules just a little bit"...I think I like this. Something tells me Mom and Dad are going to be ok with it too...

Cousin Love

A few weekends ago we spent the weekend with Denali & Lylah and had a ball! Lylah was content to ride and I was THRILLED to drive! :-)
