Fall 2009

What's up Dudes?!? What a great couple of weeks. We had a huge family Halloween celebration. Aunt B buzzed in from Vegas -- yes, I have peeps in Vegas -- and Grandma K and Grandpa D cruised into town. Aunt Meg and Uncle Josh came over for a family dinner Friday, and Saturday was chili and football....then came the good stuff. I had my first Trick-or-Treat expedition. My costume was a roaring success...HA.

I was an awesome LION! Mom got me all set up and said I should practice my lion roars before heading out.

ROAR.

This pumpkin's name is Jack...I was unable to scare Jack with my roars...he just kept smiling.
Let the Trick-or-Treating begin. Mr. Bo lives two doors down...I knocked, Dad said "Trick-or-Treat" and Mr. Bo forked over some candy...it was a sweet little gimmick Dad and I had going. We must have hit 6 or 7 houses...same routine, same outcome.


If family dinner, a lion get-up, and trick-or-treating wasn't enough, just stand by....Hello Georgia Aquarium. Grandma K took us to the aquarium. The red snapper and grouper tank was my fave, but the whole place really was great.
Dad said I should be on the look out for giant 20-f't long whale sharks. I kept my eyes peeled, but I think he must have been pulling my leg...

Here are Aunt B and I in front of our favorite tank -- grouper and red snapper. It was dinner time for these little frenzied fish. Miss you B!

Here's the rest of the aquarium crew...(Mom is holding the camera).

We did see some cool and scary looking sharks swimming these waters. I call this "Playing Possum"...Sharky never looked my way.


Dad likes to say that Monday's are for rest and recovery after weekends filled with a little too much fun...I get it now...

Yesterday, I went on a hunt for the front lawn...hmmm, don't see it here...
Nope, no grass here either...just these leaves. I think its time we did something about this Dad...


Yep, it's time to do work old man...That's a 200 mph, Category 5 hurricane-quality wind storm powered by this hand held gas powered little beast...Dad and I found the front lawn!


And finally, see below for a shot of my new whip...Radio Flyer TRIcycle...thanks Mom - that's a HUGE find!
As always, I hope everyone is doing well and having a great Fall season.
Happy Birthday Uncle Ethan!
Go Dawgs, finish strong!
Later dudes...CDM
