The Great Pumpkin!

Living in the country has muchas ventajas, one of which is a pumpkin patch close by. This weekend both my family and friends were able to come out to the country, eat some fried apple pies, drink some cider, and browse for the perfect pumpkin!



So mini pumpkins & they even taste good... (pun intended)


So this is what happens when the mini pumpkins grow up.



Choosing the right pumpkin can be so hard.


Overall a really good time!

Ride 'em Cowboy

A few weeks ago was Cowboy day at school so I dusted off my cowboy hat, pulled out my boots, and explained to the youngsters in my class that being a cowboy isn't simply riding off into the sunset. For full effect, I had planned to bring my six-shooters, but Mommy and Daddy didn't think it a good idea.

By the way, 'Giddy-up' doesn't translate into Spanish!


As you ponder the complexity of this picture, I recommend turning up the volume on your computer speakers and listening to the soundclip below...

I once caught a fish ttthhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiisssssssss big...

I just got home from my first viaje de pescato to Minnesota. While I didn't do a lot of actual fishing, I could certainly get used to the laid-back lifestyle of living on the lake!



Ready for inclement weather


Me, Mommy, Daddy, and a big lake..


¡la pesca me hace hambriento!

A Successful First Football Game

While I don't really get the whole "pigskin" analogy, I find watching football to be quite fun! I especially liked the fireworks that accompanied the celebration of another touchdown and the flag-ladies & drummers of the halftime show...

Can't Wait Until I Turn 16!

I didn’t believe my parents when they told me that I couldn’t ride a bike without a helmet until I turn 16 so I did some research and it turns out they are right. According to the Georgia Bicycle Helmet Statute (Part 40-6-296 Lights and other equipment on bicycles, section E):

(e) (1) No person under the age of 16 years shall operate or be a passenger on a bicycle on a highway, bicycle path, or sidewalk under the jurisdiction or control of this state or any local political subdivision thereof without wearing a bicycle helmet.
For more information: Georgia Helmet Laws

So for now (and for the next 15 years), I guess I will sport a helmet while on wheels. Here are some pictures of my new Donald Duck Helmet!

My New Helmet!

My head definitely has some room to grow in this thing!
