Camels on Vacation

My camel friends left for Missouri this morning. Mommy said that they're visiting family. The donkeys are taking care of the place until the camels get back. I hope they won't be gone too long.

Benny's first camel ride (This was taken last Friday, but I forgot to post it.)

My last ride on Parker before he left for vacation.

Zoo Friends

I know that everyone probably thinks that I only have animal friends at the zoo, but I have people friends there too. My three best friends are Justin, Nikki and Shayna. Actually, Nikki and Shayna are my girlfriends (It's cool. They know about each other). I have so much fun with them. We spend hours running around Australia (that's were Parker lives) looking for leaves. We also like to hop like kangaroos, run through the mist, go to the koala house, sing with the singing dogs, and visit the barn animals. It makes me sad when mommy says we have to go home, but I know that I'll see everyone again soon (by "soon" I mean the next day).

I wonder what was so funny?

The zoo can really wear a kid out.

Hijacking the Blog

My brother, Seth, usually blogs here. He's busy sleeping, so I thought I would do it instead. Seth is the best big brother in the whole world. He is REALLY nice to me. Here is a list of some of the things Seth does:

1. He gives me hugs and kisses every morning when I wake up.

2. He shares his toys with me.

3. He teaches me things.

4. He makes me laugh.

5. He tells mommy when I'm crying.

There are many more things that he does, but I don't know what comes after five. Anyway, I love Seth SOOOO much. I'm really lucky to have him as a big brother.

Huge hugs

Me and my big brother

He doesn't even care if I suck on his hand!!

Kisses

This is how we roll.

Our New Stroller

Ben and I got a new stroller (it's actually mommy's anniversary gift from daddy). It's super cool. It has two seats, it's blue, and it's really comfortable. I love it!!

Another Golf Outing

I went golfing again. This time I took mommy, daddy and Ben with me. As soon as we got there, I saw Tiger Woods. Mommy said that not everyone who golfs is named Tiger Woods, but I

don't think she knows what she's talking about. Anyway, I had a good time. Daddy tried to get me to use the putter to hit the ball (which I would set down right next to the hole), but that got old after awhile. I preferred to throw the ball into the hole and then run around saying "I did it."

Golfing with Cols

Yesterday, I went miniature golfing with my good friend, Colleen. It was a lot of fun. When we were done, we rode a couple of rides at the Kiddie Park and then went out to lunch. After we ate, Colleen had to go home and take a nap. I wasn't tired yet (at least that's what I kept telling myself), so mommy took me and Ben to the mall to get new shoes. We stayed there for awhile and then went home and crashed. When we woke up, we went back to the mall to exchange the shoes that we had just bought (they were too small). Daddy came with us this time. While we were there, I went on the Big Shot, rode on the merry-go-round, ate some chicken nuggets and fries, and went in the funny face booth. It was a pretty fun day.

At the Kiddie Park

Benny didn't like the funny face booth as much as I did. I think it was because he was REALLY tired. Mommy thought that sticking her finger in his mouth would make him stop crying. It didn't. I gave him a big kiss and told him that he would be okay. I think that made him feel better. I sure love my little brother.

ABC's

I love to sing. In fact, I do it all day long. Some of my favorite songs are the ABC's, Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Elmo's World, and Pocket Full of Sunshine. I usually don't let my mom record me singing, but today I was feeling generous.

Look What Ben Can Do

My little brother is learning to sit all by himself. I'm SO proud of him!!!

Way to go Benny!!!

Sinusitis

I've had a cold for over a month, so mommy and daddy made me go to the doctor. Apparently, I have a sinus infection. I have to take medicine for 10 days and then I should be better. We'll see! By the way, I weigh 28.5 pounds and Benny weighs 16 pounds. We're getting REALLY big!

Waiting to see the doctor

Staying B-U-S-Y

After going to the Kiddie Park and out to lunch, we decided to go to the zoo. Unfortunately, mommy said it was WAY to hot out for me and Ben. Instead, we went to the Rainforest. It was pretty fun. I saw all of the animals and the monkeys came right up to the window to talk to me (again). We stayed there for awhile and then went home to take a nap. After our naps, mommy said that we could go to the Museum of Natural History. We wanted daddy to go with us, but he was taking FOREVER to get home from work. We had to go without him. If you're gonna dawdle.....

Memphis Kiddie Park

Today, we went to the Memphis Kiddie Park with our friends Caren, Colleen and Casey. It was huge fun! I got to ride all of the rides as many times as I wanted to. My favorite was the Merry-Go-Round (I rode a horse. Horses say "neigh."). I didn't like the ferris wheel as much. Mommy had to ask the operator to let me off. I stayed away from that ride and decided instead to go for a boat ride, fly a plane, drive a car and take a train ride. I wanted to play miniature golf, but we didn't have enough time. Mommy and Caren made plans to take us back next week. I can't wait!!!
