eating alligator

After the swamp tour, we went out to dinner. I ate alligator. It tasted like chicken.













After dinner, we saw some alligators in a pin outside.

They looked rough and scaly.

When you go in search of alligators...

When you go in search of alligators but find none, you may still find many other interesting creatures.

We went on a swamp tour. While we didn't find any alligators, we did hear a few funny Buodrow and Tibedeax jokes before the ride was over.

One of the interesting creatures that we found was a great horned owl.





We also saw a strange bird that looked like a penguin but could fly very well.




One of the things we wanted to see was a nutria. We lucked out.

I thought the swamp tour was incredibly fun.

Sam, Warg Rider

I am at Cameron's college in Louisiana. The name of it is LSU. We went there over Christmas break.

While I am sitting on the LSU mascot, I think I look like an orc riding on a warg with my stick in the air.






Now, I look like a nice kid next to my dad while the tiger is still roaring and growling.


We were having a good time.

North Beach

Last month, we went to North Beach at Pt. Reyes. My mom and Cam wrote about it too.

The drive was incredibly harsh and made me incredibly car sick. Once we got there, I felt better.

We had to climb down a few rocks that looked like a mini mountain to get to the beach from the parking lot.

Here my mom and me are standing in front of North Beach feeling perfectly fine, just a tiny bit cold and that is why I have my hood up over my head.

There, we found a dead seal washed up on the beach.







Here, I am acting like this stick is a spear or a javelin. I'm going to throw it at the water.




In this picture, I am running towards mom while holding the same stick. I am acting like I am going to stab her with it.

We found a small fort. I am about to go inside it. Inside, I found sticks. It was like a tiny, itsy, bitsy cabin with no food, water, furniture, kitchen counters or drawers.

Here, my mom and me are in another fort. We were playing tug of war with a stick that we found inside of the fort. It was like having a one on one tug of war game.

Here, Cam is acting like a cave man and is getting up to scare me (the other cave man) away from my mom (the cave woman).

Here, Cam is actually trying to scare me away. Mom (the cave woman) took a picture.




Here, I am walking across a log that fell down. It felt like walking on a balance beam that is very high and had sharp sticks and sand under it. You may call me tight rope walker.

Here, I am walking off with two sticks and looking at Cam, hoping he doesn't scare me away.












Later, I found a stick made of bamboo. It broke a couple of times and then it formed this stick. It looks like a brand new sword.

I am glad we went to the beach that day, except for the car sickness. The car sickness was horrid.

Rescue at Golden Gate Bridge

Hello everybody. Mom has horns. Do you see the spires of the Golden Gate Bridge sticking out of my mom's head?











Here we are on the Golden Gate Bridge but not yet over the water.














Here, Cameron and I are discussing what a gulf is.







We are almost walking on the water. I am looking out to see how far it is until we are above it.












Don't I have a nice, lovely, huge horn sticking out of my head? No really, don't you see a piece of one of the spires of the Golden Gate Bridge sticking out of my head?













Here is Cam standing on the Golden Gate Bridge with Angel Island in the background.

"I'm gonna jump for it."










Here, me and my mom are spitting off the Golden Gate Bridge into the water. The spit seemed to fall forever.












Here, I am watching the waves as they come forth from the tide.








Here, we are having fun talking on a pier and watching the sea gulls and seals.














This is a fort that they used to keep incoming ships from attacking the Golden Gate Bridge. We learned that when cannons fired, the cannon ball could ricochet (bounce) on the water twice and still have enough force to smash a hole in the side of a ship.

Hooray! Gunpowder!















Oh, look. Even better. More gunpowder. Inside the fort, they had barrels and barrels of gunpowder.












This was the biggest cannon they had in the fort. The sign next to it said that this cannon was never used in the fort.


We found a slug and we compared it in size to mom's shoe. Isn't it giant?






It was on the sidewalk so I decided I would pick it up and put it in the mud where it would be safer.










Good luck, ginormous slug.















Here are two seals that we saw on our trip back.








I took this picture of one of the spires in the Golden Gate Bridge while looking straight up. It looks taller than it really is, doesn't it?


On our way back, we were almost to the car. We just had to go underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and get in our car and drive home.

What do we do on Saturday mornings

A few weeks ago, I set out to capture the morning.

This is what I look like in the morning. Don't I look grouchy? I wasn't. I was just making a grouchy face while trying to take my own picture. Actually, I was having a rather grand time.

Mom enjoyed the morning.

Mom was enjoying her Saturday morning.




Cam likes to stretch in the morning and this is what it looks like when he does (in a blurry sort of fashion).


Mom and Cam were both having a great time that weekend.







The cat was even enjoying the morning and celebrating by eating her food.




Cam likes to drink his drink and think his think.








Cam was drinking coffee.











Mom likes to drink breakfast drinks in the morning.







We have a magnet collection on our fridge. It has magnets of different types of dinosaurs and from all over the world.


The kitty wants outside.











The other kitty likes to sit on chairs.










The kitty that wanted to go outside runs away.

This was a very good morning.
