Where is the wooden apple?

The wooden apple is a prize. We were trying to find it while we were going apple picking.

This is a pig. The pigs are very cute. They were in the pasture this time. The pasture at Dwight Miller Orchards.
They were saying [snorts].
Look at those apple trees!
I am eating an apple. I'm eating an apple.
I'm up in a tree. I got up there to have fun. And this is how I got up there: I put one hand up, then the other hand. I put one knee up, then the other knee. I like climbing trees. Me, too. It's really fun. Yeah... it is.

We went to Green Mountain Orchard

We're off in the distance. Can you see us? Just a little past those puddles. See that person with the black pants? That's me. I think. The other one is Lydia, I think.
I am right. We're looking at the reindeer. The reindeer was trying to get the apple I was eating.
We got some plums and apples. Don't they look pretty and yummy? I guess they're pretty yummy. [laughs]

Putney

We found an orange salamander when we went up to Putney Mountain. I'm trying to catch it.
Look at the elephant tree! It's so big! That's why it's called the elephant tree.
We're at the top now. We're both on a rock. The same one. Guess what we found on the way to the witch's forest? Blackberries!
Look at all the beautiful mountains. One of them is the blue mountain. Can you guess which one it is?

Camping out tonight

(left to right: Me, Dorian, Daddy, cousin Emily, and her boyfriend Michael) We went camping last weekend. It was fun.
Here is the pool. I mean, wading pond.
We goed waterfalling. I was climbing on rocks with my dad. Well, it was a very good trip. It's called Bash Bish Falls. And we crossed from New York to Massachusetts on the way!

The big hike

We found blueberries. We ate them. We were at Black Mountain. These were wild blueberries.
We had a nice day.
I'm playing at the top, I think, where it's nice and rocky. My teeth and lips are blue because I was eating so much blueberries.
Look at the top view!
Wow! I can't believe how many mushrooms those were! There are 12 mushrooms.

This is the wrong place to live

Once I was looking for my house
Two of them were gray
They looked exactly like my house
I didn't know what to say
And then when I discovered
That I was on my way
It was a crazy sight to see
Because my house was every which way.

Beach trip

Our favorite thing at going to the beach was stepping on rocks. I like doin'.
We're laughing at each other. We are not. Yes.
Look how high the water's coming up. Dorian and Daddy. The others are me and Uncle Jamie.
Wow. I don't exactly know what we are doing.
I'm stepping on sand castles. We made those castles by dripping little pieces of mud on it. We call it a drip castle. And there was fishes, too.

This is a big bowling movie. Enjoy it!

We're playing air hockey. I'm against Dorian. I'm against Sebastian.

We are going on a fun carousel. Yeah. And it goes bzzzzz. How does it go bzzzz? "Whee!" we said.

We are mermaids. I'm Lydia the mermaid. I'm Emma the mermaid. We were saying cheese. This is what they have to say:

Lydia: How are you doing, Emma?

Emma: What?

L: I said, how are you doing?

E: Good.

It's a day at the fair!

We went to the Cheshire Fair yesterday.

Me, Lydia, and Dorian are bouncing on the moon bounce.
We are in the roller coaster called the Dragon Wagon. I was scared at first, but I liked it when it went back, forth, back, forth. I was scared and I goed on the top. It's that seat with Lydia. And what happened? Did you have to get off? Yeah.
I'm driving the car. Oh, I wished I could go on that ride. It looked so fun. But I'm too tall. I ride in that car.
I'm eating chips with Sebastian. They're delicious! I love potato chips! Me, too. I goed in the table room. [sings] The table room! The table room! I liked eating them. Especially with Dorian. And what did you drink, Mama? I drank root beer.
I put my hands on my ears. The chickens with Mama. Guess what I was doing? While Dorian and Mama were looking, me and Lydia went fishing.Whee! I like the carousel.

I'm hugging the robot. He told me his name was Robot.

Wall*E introduction

Wall*E is a great movie. It just was fantastic because we liked it because we thought it was good. And we had popcorn and we had drinks and we had popcorn. For our snack. I liked that Wall*E and Eva became friends. Well, we liked the funny part when Wall*E was trying to discover these red things and all of a sudden everything exploded. I think the movie was mostly about Wall*E and Eva. Wall*E! Eva!

These are some flowers and more

[You may click on the individual images to enlarge.]

See that pink flower? That's a rose. The next one is a rainbow flower. Next, the cotton. It used to be the first prize cotton. Next, the cream flower. Next, root. And, now, last, the egg flower.
Look! Look at all these cuties! PacMan, Inky, the cute periscope, her friend the zigzagger, too.
This one may look good. Do you like it? The zigzagger, his friend the periscope, Inky, PacMan, Mr. Electronics, Mrs. TV and Robot the robot.
Coming up... the White Pants! These are the CDs: Vol.1-- Heaven and Me, Vol.2-- Hey!, and Vol.3-- Fireworks.
Coming soon... Come to the White Pants' concert! I made these 3 dimensional pictures.

Mr. Mixed Media

Paints painting. I paint a mirror. Our house.

Nothing

At Lake Spofford. Hmmm. Hmmm-mmm-mmm. Picking sand.
Swim, swim, swim. Pee in the bathroom. I want to go to Lake Spofford.

[I'm sorry we haven't been posting as often lately. I'm afraid our pictures are getting a little redundant since we basically do the same things everyday. Sebastian has been hard at work drawing and writing, so I will try to scan some of his output in the coming week.]

Do you know how to swim in the sand?

Swimming. Lydia's just swimming in the water.
Whoo hoo hoo! It's the best day! I like swimming.
I don't know. I'm sleeping. Why would someone be sleeping at such a wonderful place?
Amanda. Davy Bavy. He's sleeping.

[The wee ones got a little worn out after 4 hours at the beach.]

Whatever I do, it's more for camp

I'm ready to get to the car. I'm going to camp. Whatever I do, it's more for it. My camp is at Living Memorial Park. Soccer, baseball, archery, chalk drawing, swimming and, of course, lunch are all things we do everyday.
Today was Wacky Wednesday. I dressed up in my best Batman costume. And close to when we got out of the skating rink, the Mystery Players visited us. And they gave me a prize because they thought I had the best costume ever of all the campers. My prize was an American airplane, a silver star bead necklace, a shape ruler and stickers.

I like camp a lot! Even a ton more than that. I'm going to go back for one more week.

This 4th of July parade was great because I was in it!

I was sitting in the stroller. Because you were taking me to the marching band! I didn't play the band. Who did? Sebastian! And Daddy, too!

It's Sebastian! He was marching in the band! [He's at the front left in the pink shirt, drumming.]
I'm drummin'. It's great! I loved the parade. I started at a high school, then we marched down past Walgreen's. We ended at a place that had an open space that was very green because of all the grass. [The common] I saw Mama, DeeDee, Lydia, and Christine. I was in the WVEW marching band group. WVEW is a radio show. It's for anybody. It's in the Brooks House. There are microphones to speak in. There's even a CD player or maybe two for your CDs. They play only one song, though.
Look! There's Daddy! He's far away, though. I had a very fun time playing my drum. And I was next to a lady I liked.
