Hogback Weekend

James and the dogs hit the water.

A nice photo of James and Mom on the boat, looking for fishies. Actually, Andy was taking a picture of the DOG and didn't zoom in closely enough so he got us in the photo. Yeah, he's a peach.

James and Papa Garn on a boat ride.

Even Kitty had a nice weekend!

Hope Springs Eternal

The dogs remain hopeful that a food molecule will reach the floor.

Sleeping Beauty

Throwing a major tantrum is hard work.

All this exhaustion over a banana.

John Ball Zoo

We took advantage of the nice weather and the family zoo membership we got from Sara & Tom this morning.

We learned something: James loves to pretend to be a bear. But when he actually sees one, he totally freaks out.

Fish are more his style.

This was supposed to be a photo of James and Andy with a lion in the background. Unfortunately, James took off yelling "Lion, all done! Lion, all done!" He feels the same way about bears and sheep.

This is the "lion, all done" face.

A happier moment.

Monkeys (and baby ducks in the pond) were happier times.

Bubbles!!

Remember when a bottle of bubbles was a wonderful thing? Add a battery operated bubble gun and it gets better!

An Evening with James

An evening with James.

Here I stop to smell the flowers.
Now I say "Whhyyyyy???" here after Mom tells me to stop picking (ripping out) flowers.

After trying to pick every flower in the garden, I try to smoosh ants.

With my plastic garden rake.

Then I dig in the dirt in front of Daddy's barn.

After I get bored with that, I jump off stumps.
