Fountains

The absolute best thing to do near my Grandma Reba's house in the summer is go play in the fountains.

Creative Discovery Museum

Another thing I did in the south was go to the Creative Discovery Museum. I went with my friend Fiona, and it was SO cool! There is so much to do there that I could've spent days and days there and never gotten bored.

I got to dance on stage (that's Fiona running away, notice she taught me how to draw on my face with face paint)

I played piano 

We saw all kinds of dried up looking reptiles 

We went digging for artifacts 

Sand is always fun 

And the giant water table was one of my favourite parts!

I heard they've built a museum like this near where I live, so hopefully mommy can take me there soon.

Chickens

Since we were in the south, we might as well see some chickens too, right? And my friend Emma actually has her very own chickens, right in her back yard. And they make fresh eggs for her every morning!

Wow, chickens!

Emma knows how to feed the chickens

I was excited to see the chickens, but once they came inside the coop, I wasn't so sure...

I think I'll go over here and help Carrie...

Grandma's Horse

One thing we did when we were visiting Grandma Reba is we went to see her horse. My friend Emma and her mommy went with us. Her horse was very big, and at first, we didn't want anything to do with it. So we sat in the cart and ate the apple we brought for the horse.

Finally, Emma's mommy convinced me that brushing the horse might be an ok thing to do.

Then, we let the horse eat the core of the apple, since we didn't want that anyway.

Lily also wasn't sure about the horse. She didn't even know what a horse WAS yet.

But babies are generally more fearless than toddlers, due to not having any sense yet...

Emma's mommy even RODE the horse. This scared me and Emma, so we decided to take play with this long, dangerous whip thing instead.

The most fun we had, by far, was taking a ride the cart. 

Happy Halloween

I was SO excited for Halloween to get here so I could wear my costume and get treats. Until it actually happened, I wasn't exactly sure what trick-or-treating was about, but once I figured it out... oh, WOW! I was allowed to race around from house to house and EVERYONE gave me candy! This is by far, the best holiday ever.

These are the cupcakes that my mommy made. They were super cool and so delicious!

I dressed up at Brewster, a train from my favourite show Chuggington. I decided to wear my "steam" hat backwards, because that is how I roll.

This is part of my trick-or-treating gang. 

Lily didn't want to wear a costume, so she wore her pumpkin patch outfit.

This was the very first house we trick-or-treated at. Max and I were still learning the ropes.

Max dressed up as a car, and since our costumes complimented each other so well, we decided to trick-or-treat together. Also because we are buddies.

Treats! Here's where we get treats!

Max couldn't hang, so Natalie and I rallied and continued to roam the neighbourhood in search of treats.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

Halloween was a lot of fun this year, because I'm a big boy and I can really participate in everything fun! The day before Halloween, daddy and I carved pumpkins. It was really cool.

I helped scoop out the guts, and then later mommy roasted them. Delicious!

Lily liked to open and close the pumpkins.

Actually, daddy carved the pumpkin's face and mommy made the letters for our names.
