Give us candy!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Now cough up the goods! This is the social contract: We look adorable, you give us candy. And not that no-sugar stuff you try to pass off the rest of the year, either. We know the difference.

"Jackass" Audition

I hope someone in Hollywood is watching this stunt! Everyone else at my buddy Augie's Fall Fest Party is sliding the regular way, but I've made it more fun and dangerous by riding a hay bale down it! So far so good.

Cougar Attack

And now for something really scary! Janika attacked me in the pumpkin patch during our school field trip! I know I fancy myself something of a ladies man, but she is twice my age and much more experienced. I really wasn't expecting to get frenched today while waiting in line for the hayride. I guess the charm of blonds is that they do things that are thrilling and unexpected...

You're Supposed to be Scared of Me!

Hey, Anderson, what's up with the crow? Aren't they afraid of scarecrows? What kind of preschool fundraiser is this anyway? Don't they teach you about the purpose of scarecrows here? And I hate to tell you, man, but witches are GIRLS!

The Swinging Bridge

LOST RIVER, WEST VIRGINIA--Wow, this trail is moving! I'm going to bounce you off, Mommy! Just like the Biggest Billy Goat Gruff knocks the Troll off the bridge in that scary story you're always reading to me.

Civilization At Last!

LOST RIVER, WEST VIRGINIA--Whew! We found the car again! I thought I'd NEVER see the car again! I thought we were lost. Sometimes when we are driving, we get lost, but somehow that's not as scary as getting lost in the woods would be! There might be bears in the woods. Or coyotes.

The Great Outdoors

LOST RIVER, WEST VIRGINIA--Are there any tigers or bears here, Daddy? What about coyotes? Are there scary animals in the woods? No? I like hiking! But let's hike faster!

Nibblers

LOST RIVER, WEST VIRGINIA--Where did that fishy go? I KNOW he just tasted my toes! This is much more fun than the swimming pool. Nothing tries to eat me there. I am going to catch it. And then I will eat IT.

Homerun!

Watch this one fly, cousin Alex! Aren't you glad you came all the way from Minnesota to play with me? You may be a smart college guy, but I'm a baseball player! I'm so happy you came to visit!

Cats' Tea Party

Nothing beats hosting an elegant party for my friends! My kitties and tigers got all dressed up for tea and peas this afternoon. Like all parties it got a little out of hand, and more guests showed up than I had china for. No one seemed to mind sharing plates though.
