we just got back from a week at the beach, and i was a rock star. despite nearly 1 15 hour travel day yesterday, i am still in good spirits. i was soooo good on all of the plane and car rides! i even earned myself a set of wings. i talked to pilots and i now am obsessed with airplanes. mama might have to add some airplanes to my monkey wall. i was scared of the ocean at first, but as the week went on, i learned to love it. the surf was pretty rough, so i could not go near it alone, and one time, i was brave and tried to boogie board in the low surf zone and got washed off the board. mama freaked out and said i could not go near the water without my lifejacket again. i played with all of my new friends soooo well. you would think with 9 kids under the age of 6 there would have been some fights, but we all got along really well. i made some great friends. jacob and i really hung out a lot and aidan too, i think those dudes are just about awesome. and of course, all the other kids were super cool and fun too. mama thinks the best part was when our good buddy brian showed up as a surprise from germany, that was pretty special. now, time to start planning for the next one, 3 years from now when me and all of my buds will be a lot older and more adverterous. i got a super cool hat from brian from egypt and an awesome life is good shirt from ad. adelaide beat me up a bunch, she is tough and smart and really cute. all of the kids were so fun and so cute and all the adults, well they are adults, but mama thinks it is just awesome that we all got to spend a whole week together. if it had only been a little cooler and less windy (100 degrees with 100 percent humidity and 30mph winds). love to all

Happy Independence Day

i was starting to get very tired
mama went into to get treats and saw me on tv

This weekend we went on vacation to Salida to see our friends PC and Georgie. it was really pretty awesome. i swam in the arkansas river, it was cold. papa boated with pc on the browns canyon section and then mama and georgie did happy hour on the big bend flat section. then we all met in town for a little wading. we took wonderful walks in the beautiful morning weather. i did not sleep a lick though. i had this super squeaky air mattress and i tossed and turned and it was pretty bad sleeping altogether. which is one reason we headed home a little early. on the way back we stopped at a place called tinytown. it is a town for tinies like me. pretty frigging cool really. i rode the minature train twice--one was a coal fried steam engine and the other a racer engine. and i played in lots of little buildings. i am pretty much a man of my own will. i know what i want and well, i am very independant. i talk all the time, really, i mean, i don't know where i get it from, but i always have something to say. i love my dogs and have been grossing mama out by wanting to kiss them on the lips. my bestest little buddy moved away this week. mama is very very sad about it. today i carried around my little motorcycle that rocco left at my house and i told people he gave it to me and i even know that he moved. good thing we have lots of other little buds in the hood. well, time to watch some fireworks.
