today i had a nice day doing things with mom and dad. this morning's family adventure had dad driving us to the local nature reserve. we got there a little after 9am and man was it hot. we stomped a short distance into the woods and found an olden times farm. we were the only ones around. mom was all annoyed because there were supposed to be people there dressed up in old clothes and doing farm things. she went over and asked the cow what was going on. i was not interested in talking to a big cow, behind a fence or not. i staid well back.
mom read the little flyer she had about the farm and it seems the farm people are only around during the school year. mom was all- it would be nice if the website mentioned that tiny fact.
dad was getting chased around by mosquitoes so we hurriedly walked around the rest of the farm. i saw some sheep. mom tried to talk me into giving them nose scratches, no way man. those things have evil eyes. i saw some chickens and pigs too. it was an ok hour in the woods i guess.
we stomped back to the car and dad drove us to do some shopping. today we did all kinds of shopping. we went in a bunch of stores. dad is after new shoes again and mom was after a special ant trap that is hard to find. mom found her traps, dad is still looking for shoes. shopping today was ok because i got to hang out with my dad. he lets me get away with more stuff than mom does.
we took a break from shopping to have lunch at the burger bar. mom said i could have an ice cream sunday for lunch. awesome! well the picture she showed me looked like an ice cream sunday, turns out what i really got was some kind of yoghurt and fruit cup with crunchies on top. it was very tasty.
after everyone finished lunch it was back to shopping. we went and did the grocery shopping. that went a lot smoother than yesterday. dad pushed me around the store and he doesn't really care if i stack heavy things on top of bread or chips. mom walked around and got the things on her list while dad and i did our thing. it didn't take long to get the shopping done. mom paid and dad drove us home.
we were out kind of late doing the errands so i missed nap time. instead, dad took me to the pool. mom staid home because she was cooking dinner and having quiet time. the pool was great. there were some older kids there and i played with them a bit. some college girls heard me talking and started squealing- 'OMG, he's british, that's sooooo cute!' i just kept on splashing and having fun.
got home and mom stuffed me full of dinner. i had a really nice pepper soup and garlic bread. now i'm just going to relax and watch back to the future.
