Running

Mommy, Daddy and I went on a little vacation this past weekend, and it was so much fun it will require several posts for me to show you everything that we did in just three days.  First of all, I got to be REALLY good at running.  And I LIKE it.  

One morning, Mommy and I were sitting on our patio, enjoying a milk and a latte, when I saw a couple of grown-ups jogging.  I turned and asked Mommy, "Running?"  Mommy said, "Yes, they're running.  Do you want to go running?"  I thought about it for a second (a very short second), and said, "Yes."  So we went inside and strapped on our running shoes.

We encountered some really cool stuff on our little adventure.  First, I saw a field mouse having a snack in a garden near our room.  Luckily, we have a book at home called "What Do You Say?", so I knew exactly what to say to a field mouse.  I leaned towards him and quietly said, "Eek, eek, eek."  He looked at me for a minute, and I think he smiled before he scurried off into the bushes.

We kept walking, and I found all kinds of cool stuff.  Thank goodness I was wearing my pocket shorts to hold it all.  I had at least three pecans, and two really pretty leaves.  You can see the leaves in my hands in the picture above - in my left hand is a big green leaf and in my right is a small yellow leaf.  Daddy came outside to meet us, and he took this picture as I was running to show him everything I found. (The picture is a little fuzzy because the camera fogged up as Daddy came out from the air conditioning.)
