Breakfast at Lago Casa

Breakfast can be quite a hoot. In the mornings, I like to practice my vocab with Mom and Pops. Every week I'm adding a new word to the list. Sometimes they're not always words but sounds of all the animals we look at in my books. I can say, "Done!" when I'm finished with my meal and woof like a puppy. This talking thing is quite exciting. Hopefully, I'll be able to converse in the new language I'm learning.

Mr. Clean

Mom was using this special, magic stick to pick up Bo's hair and my crumbs off the floor. I'm not really sure what drew me to it - the bright, green color or the fur magically sticking to this small white cloth. I begged Mom to let me give it a try. Finally, she caved in and handed the special, magic stick to me. OMG! It was the coolest thing ever. I didn't want to stop. Dad said the Swiffer Wet Jet is even better. Can't wait to try that one out.

Water sports, racing seats and airplanes...a love story.

You guys know I'm all about the things my Pops is into. Water and handling.

Lemme 'splain.

Me and pops were in the backyard yesterday just chillin on the deck. Pops left the hose out from the last time I was in the pool.

Man, I loves me some pool time!!

So anyway..I see the hose is still laying out, and you guys know me...I just HAVE to figure out how this thing works!

"Pops..wat's dis?"

"That's the garden hose Leo. That's where we get the water from. Can you work it?"

"gimme a minute Pops...I'll figure this thing out."

" I have no doubt Leo..I have no doubt."

" HEY POPS!!!"

"Yes Leo?"

"GOT IT!!!"

Ahhhh... good times and cool water on a warm summer day. it just doesn't get any better than this.

And in other news:

Pops drives a race car. So..we both felt that I needed a racing seat. My old seat was cool but it just wasn't race worthy. I mean, it faced backwards for Pete's sake! Do you see Mario Andretti driving backwards?? I think not.

But..then again..I guess Mario doesn't fall asleep at the wheel either. Shhh...don't tell anyone.

Man..that is one comfortable racing seat. Hey!! Driving a race car is hard work!

And finally..this:

Pops wants me to have it better than he did when he was younger. I guess all parents want that. So while at SuperTarget the other night he bought me something.

Ya see...Pops had this thing called a Big Wheel when he was younger. He said it was fun but it broke alot. Plus he was limited by being on the ground. He wanted me to have something that is a step up from a Big Wheel. So..knowing my love of saying "ooooh! ooooh!! oooohh!" and pointing to the sky anytime I hear an airplane go over head....(you guys ready for this?)...

POPS BOUGHT ME A FREAKING AIRPLANE!!!!!!!

Now...If you'll excuse me I have to drive my Ferrari to the airport where I will fly my personal airplane to my very own beach. Ta' ta'.

Ludicrous speed

Pops and I have good times together. One of our favorite activities is to go bikeriding through Fermi Lab. Makes for a great adventure because we get to see all sorts of wildlife (i.e. where the buffaloes roam) and pick pine cones. Pops said Mom used to have a pine cone collection when she was a kid. Anyhoo...So Pops pedals the bike while I get towed in this tent with wheels. It's really cool because the canopy top is removeable for those nice sunny days and I don't have look out of a plastic window. The ride is a bit bumpy, but the exciting views definitely make up for it. I especially love it when we go at mach speed and attempt to go ludicrous speed. You can really feel the G's on your face.

May the schwartz be with you!

Na, na, na, na, naaaa...I'm lovin' it!
