outdoor fun

Saturday, September 27, 2008

I have a lot of friends. Briente is my neighbor and we play together often. I love playing over at their house. They have a cute puppy named Kiesey and he is a lot of fun.

This is our friend Briente (Brientz). She is a lot of fun and we always have a good time playing together.

We like to play soccer and other games together.

I run so fast. I like to pretend that I was in the olympics. I love to play outside.

Lulu loved Briente's little bear. She didn't want to let it go. She likes all things that are soft and cuddley. Can you see Lulu's big bonk? She fell off the front step. Poor poor Lulu.

We went to Grandpa's cabin to celebrate Mommy's birthday. I had a lot of fun. We hoped Daddy would be able to get the four-wheeler running, but he didn't have any luck.
Lulu was hungry so she had a banana. Too bad we couldn't get the four-wheeler working. I love to ride on it. I even helped Daddy try to fix it. Lulu wanted too help too, but she is too little.


I am getting ready for our walk. Lulu and I decided we needed to wear the helmets to protect our heads. They are a little big, but they still work.

Lulu and I are getting ready to get into the stroller. I am picking up rocks. Rocks are cool. I love to hold them, pick them up, and throw them too.


We loved the helmets. We didn't want to take them off.

Lulu in the stroller.

Lulu is almost laying down in the stroller. I got out to walk, because I am a big boy. I like taking walks at the cabin. Sometimes you can see animals like deer and moose!
The sunset was beautiful, so Mommy tried to take a picture of it. I love the Cabin.

Beach fun with the McConnells

We met Aunt Maureen and Uncle Ross at the Crab Cooker. It was a restaurant that has been around since they were first married. I had a lot of fun meeting my cousin Maegan. She was a lot of fun. I really liked the food too.




This is my aunt Maureen. She played in the sand with me and didn't mind getting dirty. It was so fun to play in all that sand.


Lulu liked to play at the beach too. She liked the wet sand and when we found some sand crabs, she thought they were really cool. I agree. Watching them bury themselves in the sand was so neat. They dig really fast.


The waves were a lot of fun. The water was a little chilly, but it was nice because it was really hot with the sun. Uncle Ross held on to me so I wouldn't be washed away.


Lilly playing in the wet sand. There was sand everywhere. Mommy tried her best to keep the camera out of the sand. It was hard because Lulu and I liked to throw it all over.


Lulu went into the water with Daddy, but she didn't really like to be that far out, so Daddy brought her back to the sand and we had a lot of fun burying Daddy and digging big holes to stand in.


Aunt Maureen and Uncle Ross and Cousin Maegan

Digging in the sand, playing in the water, being with family, and soaking up the sun...It doesn't get much better than this.
I am a little sand crab.
Like I said, sand was everywhere. Mommy had to take us to the showers and hose us down.

Lulu was even worse than me. She hated the shower and cried the whole time. She had so much sand, Mommy said she could have made another beach.
Thanks for the fun time Aunt Maureen and Uncle Ross. We love you so much.


On our last day at SeaWorld, Lulu had a self discovery. Mommy didn't get to video all of what she was doing, but we loved this. Lulu is so cute. We love her so much and are so glad she is a part of our family.
Here are a few more pictures of SeaWorld. We had such a fun time there. Mommy took lots of video and pictures. We enjoyed our stay a lot. The attractions were very family friendly and we liked all that we saw.

The otters were fun to watch. This one seemed pretty content to just lay around and be lazy.
We were able to feed the dolphins. Look at this one. He looked right at us and I coul tell that he was smart. They did all kinds of flips and they caught the fish even when I threw it crooked. Wow! They are so cool!
Here is Lulu looking at the dolphins. We also were able to pet them. Their skin is smooth and rubbery.
This is a picture of Mommy almost touching a Bat Ray. We were able to feed them as well. I touched one and it was really soft. The water was very cold and it was hard to hold the fish to feed them. One Bat Ray ate right out of my hand and I felt its mouth around my hand as it sucked the fish out. It was weird.
Daddy fed the bat rays too. He was very patient. He held his fish and would wiggle it around and wait for them to come over. He didn't seem to mind the cold water much.

Sea World

SeaWorld was a blast. We all had such fun. All of us could ride on the rides and we enjoyed watching all the animals. The first thing we did was see the Sesame Street attraction. It has these fun rides that Mommy wouldn't go on because she didn't want to be sick. But Lulu, Daddy and I had fun.

Here is a picture of the tea cup ride. It spun really fast and made us a little dizzy.
Daddy has me on his shoulders so I can see the Sesame Street show a little better. They were singing and dancing. I even saw Elmo!
Here is the Gang. I loved seeing Elmo su much. Lulu really liked to watch Zoe. She even got her picture with her.

Lulu and I had our picture taken with Cookie Monster. She wasn't scared of him at all.

Lulu was too scared to hug Ernie and Bert, but I wasn't. I love watching Sesame Street on TV and to see them in person was AWESOME!
Here Lulu and Daddy are looking at and touching the starfish. They were a little pokey but really interesting.
I was able to touch a starfish too. Wow! There are so many things to see here at SeaWorld.Look at this silly little turtle poking it's head out of the water. This was a giant turtle. I was surprised to see how big they were.
You can't really see it, but there is a shark behind Lulu and I. They were cool to see, and their skin feels like sandpaper.

Lulu loved to watch the dolphins and whales do their tricks. She squeeled and clapped and even sang. She was so excited.

Here is SHAMU jumping out of the water. I think it might be fun to be a whale trainer when I grow up. I love SHAMU!
Here SHAMU is soaking all the people in the front row. Daddy and I went close to the splash zone, but we didn't really get wet.

"Hi Mommy!"

Do you know why flamingos are pink? Because they eat shrimp. Isn't that crazy. I love shrimpies and I ask for them when we go out to eat. (Even when I am at McDonald's).

This was our late night show, SHAMU Rocks. It was pretty neat to see all the tricks he could do and how high he could jump. The light show and music were pretty neat too. I liked to dance to the music. I had a fun time.

Our days at LEGOLAND

Here our some of our pictures that we took while we were at LEGOLAND. It was a lot of fun. It was amazing to see so many structures made out of legos. WOW! It was pretty hot, but we kept cool in the water areas. I rode on a lot of the rides and had a blast.





Here is Mommy, Lulu and I at the front entrance.



Look at this...All made of legos, this mommy and baby went well with our family...but we like our real mommy better!


Sitting at the entrance waiting to go it. I look like I am on top of a globe!


Lulu and I in a lego truck.
Check out this display...again, all legos. Do you think I could have a ride on the camel? It doesn't spit.
StarWars...Maybe I will be a future JEDI Knight and Lilly can be Princess LULU:)

Lulu had a lot of fun walking around and looking at all the cool displays and cities.


Here I am waiting so patiently for this ride to start. It was pretty fun. It


Jaws of peril! Look out Lulu!

As you can see, I am a fierce predator!

I met a real pirate!

Uh-oh! Mommy and Lilly were being naughty and they had to be locked up!

Here we all are in front of our nation's capital...once again...all legos. Wow!

After all the fun we had, I was plum tuckered out and I fell asleep waiting in line for a ride. Thanks Daddy for holding me.
