This kind of beetle it looks like is a beetle-ug. A beetle-ug is a very strange lookin' beetle. 
My melon plant is too strange to even believe! There are little spiky pods on it. Mama thought they were gonna turn into cucumbers. But I think an organic strawberry pie just for me.
We were playing the Candy Crane. It took a lot of tries to have it getting the brown lollipop.
Now we're playing Belly Bomber. You have 5 bombs until you beat as hard as you can to the dinosaur. And I did very well.
We're playing basketball. And I threw once a ball into the basket and then I got a basket and then I fell.
Dorian's ridin' on the mouth car. Because, you see, it has teeth.
We're ridin' on the gumball truck. Dorian was a good driver.
I went to see the reptile shows. But it wasn't just reptiles there were also cats that are warm blooded. The show was called Wildlife Encounters Zoo. The first animal was a little, so cute, lovely, loving armadillo. The armadillo likes to sleep and hug each other.
What came next was an alligator. I saw her 42 teeth. Two less than the opossum.
And this is a little opossum that I just said. The opossum squeaked. And it hanged upside down by its tail.
This is the supreme of all the reptiles and mammals. This is the coatimundi. Its name means "the animal that lived a long, lonely life." It's related to the coatimundi family and the raccoon.
This cat was a gorse cat. That means a good cat. Lived a scary life and is called a serval. They were feeding the serval mice.
And I holded a GIGANTIC snake. And how I did it was I holded it next to my little, new, good friend Kat. What kind of snake it was was a Burmese python. And it was heavy. [Ed. note: This snake was not yet fully grown at 16 feet. The world record for longest snake is a 28 foot Burmese python weighing over 400 pounds.]
I didn't have a whole body of a fish, I only had a mermaid tail. And it grew and it grew! A mermaid swims around. And I owned my home. 
We went to Kittery Trading Post and it was so sicatodium that there were animals in there. I'm being so silly in the Busytown car. I'm riding with Dorian and Lowly.
I'm standin' on the rocks. How we got there is just whoowheesht. 
This is a little tide pool. And who is living there are little snails.
I was a seagull but I was tired. Seagulls steal other birds' food. I was running around to the seagulls but every time they just flew away. But I wanted them to be my friend.
Mama's holding out her treasures. Sea glass and a crab shell and a rock.
It's today. I'm walking in the water. Jumpin' over tide pools and also waves.
When this wave came, I almost got dunked.
DeeDee's lookin' so funny. He's all sandy and wet and dirty. And wrong looking. That means he's looking a little wrong. There is no butter on him. But most of all, you don't put any on him because that never happens.
We drived to an ocean house one day. Almost after a year, but a little shorter than that. After the company picnic. I have my collecting bucket.
I'm standing in the water. It feeled very co-ol-ol-ol-ol-ol-old.
We're walking on the wet sand but we can't find anything. It's true, but Mama says it's not true. Right, Mama? There are all kinds of things there. There are no kinds of things there. Dorian's picking up a shiny, dim shell.
We're doing the original tug-of-war. Malachai is on my team and also Dorian. And on the other side is Tanner. And I won. You know why? Because we did it just in time. Tanner losed. Me and Malachai and Dorian all won. Actually, Tanner won. No, Mom, no! It was only me, Dorian and Malachai. Those are the ones who did it just in time and actually won.
I'm doing 3 tries for the pinata. Mama, that says Pin-nata. I know but I don't know how to make that symbol. It's a putt-putt that made it wrong. A little putt-putt thing. Out flew candy, horns and shakers, bug eyes and most of all, yo-yos.
I'm hopping in the sack race.
I won my part of the race. The one that does the right time--that does it after--is the one that wins the race. That's not really how it works. Actually, it's not the right putt-putt you're hitting. I think you are getting too goofy. And I think you're not hitting any right putt-putts. No more putt-putt buttons for you, all right, Mr. Goofhead.
I watched Melody Time on the movie night day. Sunday. And I loved it! Well, there was one about 2 sad birds. I don't know why they were sad. You see, it was so funny. And there was a woman who played an organ and a drum. And the bird that owned the house put under a place some dynamite. A dynamite stick. And it caught on fire. And the organ turned into a keyboard.
I like drumming but my motion tag didn't work. A motion tag is an imaginary tag that is on the front of your shirt. It glows in the dark. And makes you feel good so you don't catch cold or get sick.
Yesterday we went to the river and we just saw it. It was a rainy day. I'm throwing rocks into the water. They go BLOOP! when a big rock goes in. But when a tiny one goes in, it goes bloop. 
We went to a party at my daddy's coworker's house Saturday. Her name was Sheila. That's not her, that's me. And I'm with a horse. And her name was Grace. I don't know where she came from, but she came from somewhere.
That's Daddy and Dorian with that horse. That's the only horse at the house. But that's not the only animal we saw there. Well, me and Daddy saw 2 cats. And we saw a turtle and fish.
That's me and Dorian in a hammock.
That's Daddy and me getting the ball into the hole and practicing. We were playing at Hidden Acres. It was fun.
That's me, Dorian and Daddy it looks like. And the whole time, Dorian was carrying a green ball all around. What else we were doing was having lots of fun.
That's me and Daddy looking and practicing how to swing the thing and then push the ball.
We got these chioggia beets from Lilac Ridge Farm. And this is the biggest one of all of them. We didn't actually go to the farm. We went to the farmer's market next to the co-op to get it. We ate them both raw and cooked. Which way I liked it better was raw. On the inside when we cut it there were rings. They were white and red. Actually pink. I'd like to have them again some time. We got some okra, too. And some rainbow chard. And I liked it so much! And also, one more thing, a flower salad. I like to eat all the flowers you can eat. I like the red ones best. But the best ones are that I love a little bester insead of dark red I like blood light red.
I'm playing in the sprinkler. I wanted to get close to the water when Daddy teached me to jump over the water. The sprinkler came from a store.
That's Dorian and Daddy and a stream of water. How I liked about it is when I was jumping. When I got too far from the water, I didn't like that.
I'm helping Mama hose the water into the pool.
My face is dutty. Dutty is one word in my Spanish. It means funny.
DeeDee is frowning with the watering can. He's dirty. How we got so dirty is when we were at Stephen and Jason's house. We were playing a lot but one time I just got a prick from a plant or a bee, a wasp or a deer fly.
We're taking a bath in the pool because Mommy wouldn't let us inside. And you know what? Me and Ukiah were doing something. We were having a race in the kiddie pool at Living Memorial Park. And that race was called "The Lucky You Can Race."
That's a flower in our melon plant. And I love flowers so much.
