"I Do OWN!"

I don't need Pop to show me how to drive this trac-tor, I can do it on my own! I'm sure that this lever will make the big bucket go up really high. I think I'll drive to the back of the field and scoop up some of the horse poo-poo and dump it by Pop's house. I bet he would really like to have some poo-poo close by.

"Ride Big Trac-TOR!"

Ooh, ooh, let's get this thing going, Pop! I've been wanting to ride the big trac-tor ever since I got here! I want to ride that little one in the garage too, the one that "cut grass." And the golf cart, I want to ride in that too. Now! No, later. Now I want "RIDE BIG TRAC-TOR! " Oh, and I want to drive it, too.

Garden Cherub

I'm back at the Ranch this week, visiting Gram and Pop! They are so much fun! They let me eat chips, and cookies, and Gram even gave me a Fresca when Mommy wasn't looking! I'm in the garden this afternoon, mixing the white gravel with the brown, and GRAM LETS ME DO IT! I can do anything I want here!

Maury Loves Disco

Yeah, some days I'm just a dancin' fool. This morning is the big disco at Maury Elementary. I'm "boogie-ing" down with my buddy Anderson to some old people music I've never heard before, but it's got a good beat. There's pizza too, and occasionally bubbles shoot out of this weird machine. It's mesmerizing!

COLD WATER!!!

MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA--I know this pool is heated, but it's still TOO COLD! What are you guys thinking taking me in here? I need a wetsuit! Let's go back to the room and watch "Bob Builder" again on my dvd player!

Alligator Attack!

MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA--EEEEEEEEEEEEE, there a big alligator chasing me through this swamp! (Yes, I know it looks alot like Daddy). Hope it doesn't eat me before you can catch me! This boardwalk is great! I can run really fast here because there's nothing to trip me up, and it's fun to dodge around all the senior citizens. They look really scared when I dart past. Maybe they think I'M an alligator!

Found One!

MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA--Silly Mommy! She makes me spend all morning looking for manatees on this boat ride, when all along she had one stashed beneath the snacks in my diaper bag! Behind me is Captain Sue, who kindly abandoned the manatee search in favor of alligators, which were much more exciting!

Searching for the Elusive Manatee

MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA--Whoa, what happened to the warm weather? It's too cold to swim today, so instead we've gone in search of manatees. I like riding in the boat, I look cool in these big people sunglasses they gave me, and the lollipop I got from the nice man in the dockside store is delicious! The only problem is that the manatees stay in the water, so I can't see them. Sometimes they surface, and everyone goes nuts trying to see them, but I don't get what all the fuss is about. There had better be another lollipop somewhere on this boat, because I can't take another hour of this without some sustenance...

Life at the Marriott is good

MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA--I could get used to this: Lying around in this HUGE fluffy bed each morning with "Bob the Builder" dvds! Heaven! Mommy brings me milk and Ritz crackers on demand. And I get to wear a HEADSET, just like Doc Hudson does in "Cars"!
