Trailer Bike, trailer me...


...anyhow - the vacation days have been very good to us. Daddy had to go to work all but one day of the vacation, and that was for the night shift to run some crazy green trial out of PCR...

...we just about did it all. We built countless castles out of Duplos (Legos that is), countless train routes out of Thomas & Friends combined with my Daddy's ancient train parts which make it all the better (we also get a kick out of watching Thomas & Friends on YouTube), we went canoeing AND bike riding on my new (borrowed) Trailer Bike. I tell you, this is where it's at! I mean, I can't stop screaming: DON'T GO SO FAST. I'M SCARED OF HILLS, DON'T GO THAT WAY, GO THROUGH THE LEAVES, GO FASTER, GET OFF THE SIDEWALK I WANNA RIDE ON THE STREET - it's really been good.

I have not been the best communicator at my one-on-one lunches with Dad, but I think he has been so focused on eating healthy while I was eating sweets that he didn't really notice. I always get a huge kick out of saying just when Daddy is about to sit down and enjoy the first bite of his lunch: I gotta go Peeeeee! ....... and then he swiftly and quickly picks me up and starts running through the store to the Restroom, me laughing and giggling the whole way.

One of the highlights definitely has been when we went canoeing on the little lake right here in the hood. We were doing laps and laps and fishing out Tennis balls. I think we got something silly like 9 Tennis balls, one baseball, and one Wiffle ball out of the water - yup - we went paddling the day after a huge rain storm. It was fun though, especially when the wind started blowing and a lake as big as the back of my hand turned into a life-threatening adventure, good thing Daddy had paddled once or twice in his life before.



Crazy Daddy did go running last night! I check out his phone for new photos first thing this morning. It's not really a good photo, but I guess it was the moment and it all made sense at the time? ? ? He wants to train for some event or something, I dunno.






Today we got snow! In North Carolina!!! (of all places) I think last time they got snow in Atlanta (which is in Georgia) was in '94. Anyhow, we need the water, so we don't complain!











Got U close to the screen this time, sucker!

I'm out of here boys - take care of yourself!
