We got pumpkins!

Our pumpkin patch is a little out of control - it is growing over the garden fence into the neighbors yard.

And it is even growing up the wooden fence for our back yard.

There is a little pumpkin stared to grow way up top...

and here is a larger one growing (it is about the size of a honeydew).

Now Mom & I just have to trim back the other blossoms so our 2 pumpkins can grow really big!

Nocturnal Events

Hi All - hope you are all doing well & enjoying these cooler days we have been having lately.

Just thought I would catch you up on some on my activities.

Friday night Mom & I went to an outdoor movie at our Local Community center - it was my first real movie. I was thinking there would be a bounce house there (because there seems to always be one there for the other activities that we go to). Mom said she did not think there would be a bounce house there... but when we go there we saw that they had a big blow up movie screen. I said " See, I told you there would be a bounce house here!"

Tonight I was over playing with Eli - we had fun with bubbles, playing on the swing set & riding on the dump truck.

Will post more soon - this was a busy/fun filled weekend!

Secretariat

We recently watched the movie Secretariat...now I like to pretend I'm a horsey in a race (sometimes that race is in the bath tub).

Swimming Lessons

Tonight was the last night of swimming lessons for this summer - I really enjoy it & have a great teacher! I like to get there early to play in the water before class starts. Practice my kicks

Today we had a lesson about water safety.We then tried out life jackets & practiced floating. For the record, mom tried this with me the other day in the pool & it did not go as well.

More kicking...

We then used this floating bar thingy

Practiced our stroke (it's like scooping ice cream).

Then we lay down in the pool

Practice blowing bubbles

It's hard not to drink the water.

And teacher pulls us around the foam Hippo.

Since today was our last day - we had a special treat & got to crawl along these floating things in the pool. I'm typically the timid one in the class, but for this I was the first one in line to cross.

Love to you all, Anders

Air Hocky

Hi All, A few weeks ago I went to a friends B-day Party & there was an Air Hockey game - I got to play a few games. Remember how much I love real Hockey??? Well, I love Air Hockey alot too.








sorry for the blurry photos - there are from Mom's phone.

The Carninal (or carnival as some like to call it)

Yesterday we went to the Slice parade – but it was cancelled due to rain. It was a bummer since I look forward to that awesome parade every year.

So, today we went to the Slice Carninal – it was a lot of fun… well, at first it wasn’t so fun. I got some sunscreen in my eye, so it was irritated for a bit. So Mom & I walked around, got some cotton candy, saw a band & relaxed for a bit.

Then we check out a little petting zoo.

Then the real fun began - the rides! I waited patiently with my tickets for my turn. We started out easy with the merry-go-round.We then went to a car ride.I then got real brave & told mom I wanted to go on the train by my self. I ran right up front to get the best seat. "Hurry Up everyone & get on board - the train it leaving!"

Mom & I then headed to the Dizzy Dragon ride - look there is a table in here for eating.

Hey this is fun!

Now I see why they call it the Dizzy Dragon ride - Wooah!

We had 3 tickets left & I decided to go on the cars again - but by myself this time...

HI Mom!
Check out my videos from the Carninal.












Love, Anders

100 degrees

Yup - that's right - it was 100 degrees here yesterday. The weather man said with the heat index it was even hotter & complared to our coldest day this past winter it was 158 degrees difference!

So I ran thru the sprinklers to stay cool.

At Anutie Kari's farm, Billy enjoyed the sprinklers too!
Stay Cool! Anders
