Grandma Judy and Grandpa Eric stop by for a swim ...

Grandma Judy and Grandpa Eric drove all the way into town the other day just to come over for a swim party (any day in the pool is a "swim party" to me).  Then we went out to eat and even went riding on some big horn sheep ...

I protest Daddy's protest ...

Avery (or maybe someone else) concealing 
her identity at the local "Occupy Wall Street" protest

So what am I to do?  Daddy wanted to go fight some injustices in the world the other day and he dragged me along with him.  I guess some people are upset about bankers doing what bankers do best, so all of those upset people got together to make signs, talk on loudspeakers, and live in the park to show everyone that they were really really mad about rich bankers (or something like that).  While we were there, I tried to be very "low profile" since you never know where I might end up someday ... maybe someday I'll want to be a big fat rich banker too!!!

Bedtime stories for everyone ...

Avery and the dogs listen to Mommy read bedtime stories

My bedtime routine changes from time to time, but reading stories right before bed has always been one thing that has remained constant.  A new routine has recently begun though where the dogs now join us and listen to the stories.  Mommy even shows them the pictures sometimes too!  Maybe someday when I'm older they'll sleep in my bed with me and I can read them stories as they fall asleep!!!


PS  Happy Birthday Auntie Em ... I love you and hope to see you soon!
