you know what i'm doing today? swimming. i'm working on using my snorkler. mom got me a snorkler, fins and a mask. right now the snorkler is my favorite. i can breathe under water. awesome

the sun has returned! mom says it's supposed to be 93degrees today but it will feel like 108. that's freaken hot out. i'm headed to the pool with jammmma and grdad. we're going swimming!

what did i do today? some stuff. it's been raining lots again. dana bunny and gdad left this morning. they gave mom some kisses to give to me so i got covered in kisses this morning. jammma and i did a couple science experiments. mostly it was about playing with balloons. we watched some shows.
mom got me dressed for karate this afternoon. we drove to karate and i fell asleep on the way there. jammma woke me up enough so mom could ask me if i wanted to stay for class or just go home for quiet time- home please. i'm just too tired. so mom just drove us back home. i got out of the car and was full of energy again. i spent the rest of the day causing chaos. dad was not impressed when he got home.

guess what, it's still raining. dad is taking the day off. awesome! mom took dad and grdad out for breakfast. i stayed home with jammma. i don't really want to go out in the rain and there's nothing i really want to eat at the flying biscuit.
mom, dad and grdad came back from breakfast. they said it was delicious. dad had too much coffee so mom suggested he take me, jammma and grdad to walmart for a walk around. cool. so we all drove off in the car and left mom home alone. we had a fun time roaming around the store. we got home to find mom gone. what the heck?
turns out dana bunny and gdad showed up and drove mom over to the grocery store. they came back with a load of stuff for a memorial day feast. since it's pissing down rain we all sat around watching movies and doing inside stuff. i mostly hung out with my dad. we played video games in the bedroom. i showed him how my new games work. mom and dana cooked up stuff.
in true american style we spent the day just sitting around and eating things. i'm so full. this has been a great birthday weekend for me. i'm kind of sad that it's time to say good bye to dana bunny and gdad. they are leaving early in the morning and i won't see them until later in the summer. boooo.

it's kind of not nice out. like really not nice. we've all just been sitting around watching movies while the rain pours down from the sky. there's some kind of tropical storm over our part of FL today. rain rain rain and more rain. dad snuck off to work.
i mostly just sat on the couch and played my new video games while the big people watched movies. i got the penguins of madagascar and spongebob games for my leapster explorer. awesome sauce.
went out to a restaurant for dinner. everyone voted for olive garden. they've got bread sticks! on the way there i saw a rainbow. it was cool. mom and i picked up dad and met the grandfolks at the restaurant. it was super busy but the grandfolks managed to get a table so we just sat down. dinner was ok. i sat next to mom and she kept trying to get me to try new things. i was happy enough eating bread sticks and red onions. i had a mango/peach smoothie too. i ate a tiny piece of broccoli. everyone said their food was yummy.

today is day 2 of my birthday celebrations. we're doing cake and presents today! since we were out most of the day yesterday, today we're just going to take it easy. mom is baking me a cake. some people are watching movies, others are swimming with me at the pool. and dad went off to work.
dad called and i went with mom to pick him up. the grandfolks drove to a restaurant. we all met up at the mongolian grill. whooo-hooo! mongolian grill. i got my own bowl to put things in. mom helped me. i got some broccoli, onions, peppers and carrots. i like all those things- blended. my veggies came back all nicely cooked. i ate a bit of broccoli. i ate a couple onions and peppers and even a few carrots. it was ok. i tried things and that's the important part. everyone else ate their bowls of cooked stuff up.
we went back home and i opened up my gifts. i got everything i wanted. there was happy dancing. even blueberry got a gift because it's his birthday too, he got a light blue blanket called sky. the gifts were really great. i am pleased.

mom went into the kitchen and we all gathered around the table. mom came out holding a huge green cake. just what i wanted! everyone sang happy birthday and i blew out the candle. mom cut the cake and it was chocolate with mint m+m's. very tasty. dana bunny did marshmallow flowers. i ate a whole flower in one bite. it was delicious.

today is my birthday. i am now 5. i have a lot planned for this year. i've been looking forward to being 5 for awhile now. got up this morning just in time to see mom driving off in the car. i waved at her. i sat around a bit talking with jammmma. mom came back and plopped down 2 containers worth of donuts on the table. she gave me some happy birthday kisses and handed me a box of donut holes. I LOVE DONUT HOLES!
dad came home from the gym and wished me happy birthday. everyone got ready and we piled into mom's car. she drove us over to the hotel where dana bunny and gdad are staying. there was a short conference to decide which was the correct gps address and then we divided up into cars. i rode with dana bunny, gdad and grdad in the big car. mom drove with dad and jammma. we all got on the highway and drove down to orlando.
we ended up at seaworld. mom got the tickets for everyone and we went through the gates. i've never been to seaworld before so it was all very exciting. we headed off to the killer whale show, first thing. that was amazing. the big whales just jumped right out of the water. i got splashed on by a killer whale! that doesn't happen every day. i loved it.
after the show we just roamed around the park. i saw all kinds of things. we stopped and visited the sharks. mom got a tray of food and we tossed chopped up fish down. the sharks really weren't interested. most of the fish bits got hoovered up by the rays. they're always hungry. mom made some lunch reservations at the shark grills. super fancy.
we went off and visited with the sea lions. they are stinky and noisy. mom got a tray of fish there too and we tossed them to the sea lions. that was kind of tricky as there were cheeky birds there trying to steal the fish. one flew by and almost stole the whole tray from mom. bad birds.
bummer for us the penguin house was closed down. they're building a new one that looks super cool. it's going to open next year. we walked around some more and found the skates and rays. mom got another tray of food and we fed them too. everyone got splashed. rays are very cheeky and like to splash people with their big wings.
we went off to lunch at the shark grill. mom ordered me some food but i didn't want it. i ate a couple french fries and that was it. i was having too much fun watching the huge sharks swim right by our table. the sharks were watching me eat! everyone wished me happy birthday. i am having a great day i must say.
after our fancy lunch with sharks we walked around more. we went to see the dolphin show. that was even better than the whales! there was all kinds of things going on. dolphins were jumping out of the water. people were flying through the air and then riding the dolphins around. parrots were flying through the audience. i didn't know where to look first. it was all very exciting.
the last show we caught was the seal and otter show. the seals were pretend pirates. it was ok. not as fun as the other shows. the otters didn't really do much. before we left the park we all stopped for a quick dinner at one of the restaurants. i had more french fries. we got our bathroom breaks in and then it was back to the cars.
dad drove us back home. i feel asleep pretty much right away. what a super fun birthday.

today was a little exciting. i went swimming with jammma and grdad this morning. we had a real good splash in the pool. got home, ate some lunch. we all relaxed in the coolness and watched a movie. mom got me dressed for karate at the usual time, but we didn't leave. we waited a bit and then who drives up to our house? dana bunny and gdad! oh how exciting. mom gave them her house key and rushed off to karate practice with me and grdad. i made it just in time. phew. jammma, dana bunny and gdad all showed up a few minutes later. everyone watched me do karate. i did a pretty good job too. mom had her meeting with my instructor, so all the important things are done. when class was over dana bunny and gdad went off to find their hotel and the rest of us went home.
dana bunny and gdad showed up at our place a little while later. i showed them some of my new stuff and talked with them a bit. it's so exciting to have all my grandfolks around. dad called and we all got in different cars and drove off to meet him at adam's rib for dinner. BBQ!  adam's rib is a pretty small joint and there were 7 of us, so we ended up just getting to go orders and driving back home with all our food.
the big people are going to sit around and eat and talk about stuff. i'm off to play

guess what i did today? went swimming and watched some movies. i won't complain. there are worse ways to spend a day.

another day of swimming and watching movies. too hot to really do anything else.
i went to karate this afternoon. i was super good, mostly because i was half asleep. swimming all morning really wears you out.

not a lot to report. we've just been hanging out inside watching movies and swimming. it's too hot to really do anything. no one wants to move. mom took grdad out for some shopping but that's about it. i went for a swim, it was fun

not much going on. we had a wicked busy week last week so we're just going to relax for a bit. it's so stupid hot out. i went to the pool for a little while with jammma and grdad. i'm having a great time swimming. mom and dad went out to dinner, just the two of them. they ate mexican food. i've been trying new foods but i don't think i'm ready for mexican yet.

busy day today. it's saturday. dad went off to work this morning. mom drove the rest of us to my last football/soccer game of the season. it's stupid hot out. i stood around with mom and had my picture taken. it's team picture day. most of my team didn't show up. oh well. mom ordered a bunch of shots so everyone can have one of me, looking awesome in my uniform.
i was my usual self out on the field during the game. the ball would get near me but instead of kicking it i just turned and ran the other way. soccer really isn't my thing. i'd rather chase bugs and kick dirt mounds. when the game was over the coach made a little speech and then handed out trophies. i got one with my name on it! i have an award. this is totally a spongebob moment.
mom hurried us back to the car and drove us home. it was just a quick stop for a change of clothes and bathroom breaks. then it was back in the car for our event today: touch a truck. i'm not sure who had more fun, me or grdad. we got to touch all kinds of trucks. there were loads of them in a field. i got sprayed by a water truck. that felt great. i beeped horns on all kinds of big trucks. i got to climb all over a fire truck. that was pretty cool. there's all kinds of neat buttons and dials to look at. there was an olden style fire truck there too which was converted into an ice cream shop. we all got ice cream cones! i shared with mom. we had cookie dough. we got to the event kind of late because of my game so i didn't get to touch every truck there. i had a quick sit in the walmart semi. that thing was big enough for 2 beds! i ran down the empty cargo area too. what an echo! the last thing i did before we left was get in the crane. i pushed and pulled levers and the crane lifted and dropped. super cool.

touching trucks was awesome! and that was how i spent my day. we stopped off at sonics on the way home for a late lunch. nom nom nom. chocolate milkshake for me!

today is our last day in orlando. we had a relaxing morning at the hotel. the big people packed up all our things and loaded up the car. mom drove us to the animal kingdom. it was an ok place. kind of stinky though. we went on a safari ride. this guy pretended to drive us through the wilds of africa. we saw giraffes, really close. i probably could have touched one from the car. we some some rinos. a great big one walked right in front of us. the car had to stop. that made the rino's tail twitch. there were hippos, cros, different kinds of antelopes. we even saw a big old lion flop down in the sunshine for his morning nap. 

we walked around and looked at other animals too. there were lots of birds to look at. mom dragged us all to see the bats. on the way there she found a little snake on the walkway so she shooed him off into the leaves. no one wants to step on a snake, that makes a terrible mess. the bats were stinky. they were all just hanging around in the sunshine. we saw some tigers, also just hanging around in the sunshine. i got to see a hippo swimming underwater. that was pretty darn cool. it came right up to the glass and almost gave me a kiss. 

it got kind of rainy out. i did a couple rides with jammma, we ate some food. it was a nice day out. a massive thunderstorm rolled in and we all decided it was probably a good time to leave. we went back to the car.

mom drove us all back home. nothing really exciting about that. i had a super fun time in orlando. dad is home so i'm going to tell him all about it. 

today i went to see a giant golf ball, or as the big people call it- epcot. it was an ok day. jammma took pity on me and rented a stroller. i got to sit while people pushed me around the park. epcot is not super exciting for a kid. it's more of a big people place where they can go and spend the day walking around and eating. and that's pretty much what we did. mom led us to the path were all the different countries are. we started in mexico and just kept walking. we got snacks in norway and rode the malestrom. that was pretty cool. we stopped for snacks again in germany. mom said she wasn't going any farther without a mustard covered pretzel. she made grdad eat one too. i just chased birds. we ended up in america just in time for lunch. jammma signed me up for the american side in the revolution. what? i don't know. i was given a copy of the declaration of independence and told to follow the drummer around. mom says the declaration of independence means i don't have to do anything english people say. interesting. after i was done marching in the army it was lunch time. i sat at a table with jammma while grdad and mom ordered us food. i got french fries. good enough. 

after lunch we walked over to japan. that was pretty cool. mom did the pearl ceremony. basically you point at an oyster, a little japanese girl yells a lot of stuff and pounds on a drum. she then pries open the oyster and out pops a pearl. cool i guess. 

there was more walking and looking at stuff. finally we ended up in canada and that was that. it's super hot out and everyone is worn out and tired so we just went back to the car. mom says we saw the best part of epcot. we sure ate enough food for one day. got back to the hotel. grdad and jammma took me down to the swimming pool for a quick splash. mom came too. there's a big pirate ship in the pool. it's pretty neat. mom sat in the hot tub for a bit before coming over to swim. i had a good time splashing around and swimming from person to person. i am enjoying orlando

today we went to disney. first thing mom did when we got there was get me press ganged into the pirate crew run by captain jack sparrow. i don't want to be a pirate. disney was wicked fun. we spent the whole day walking around going on rides. i rode on the magic carpets with jammma and grdad. the camels spit on you! we went on the adventure river boat ride. the tour lady told really bad jokes while we saw fake animals along the river bank. the elephants spit on you there.

we had lunch at the tortuga pirate cove. it was ok enough. mom ordered me a peanut butter and jelly samich. everyone else had big fat burritos. after we were all fed up we got on the pirates of the caribbean ride. that was pretty good. mom almost got hit in the head by a cannon ball. it's really just a big blast of air. i could go on and on. there are a million rides at disney. i had a wonderful time. my favorite was probably doing splash mountain- in the front row! jammma and i got soaking wet. that felt good though because it's stupid hot out. 

it rained for a bit in the afternoon. mom went and got us some ponchos, so of course the rain stopped after we put them on. we ate a bunch of food.

i went on the buzz lightyear ride 3 times. it's that much fun! mom insisted we all go to the monsters inc laugh floor. i wasn't so sure but the big people seemed to really like it. there was definitely lots of laughing.

like i said we staid all freaken day. i was ready to go by 8pm. it started to get dark. i was ready for bed. but no, mom said we had to stay until the end. finally around 10pm the fireworks started right along with a super heavy downpour. i was pretty much asleep on a bench. the bangs woke me up. i have to say, the fireworks were pretty impressive. i can't believe they do that every night. 

i managed to stay awake long enough to get in the car. it was tough though. some spanish mom on the monorail was trying to get me to talk. she thought i was super cute. my eyes were just rolling around in my head. i'm soooo freaken tired. i'm never staying up this late again

today i went to nasa. yeah, it was awesome. we got up early, had some breakfast and mom drove us in the car to the space center. it's only like an hour away from orlando. we saw gators in the drainage canals! right there by the side of the road- gators. it was cool. 

so, nasa is really big. we got through the gates and jumped on a tour bus. the bus drove us around the base and we got off at two different stops. the first stop was an observation tower. it's stupid hot out so we just took the elevator to the top. from the tower you can see the launch pads that the space shuttles used to fly from. i think they just shoot satalights off from there now. after we had a good long look and some snacks it was back on the bus. 

the next stop was the saturn9 hanger. inside is a huge rocket called a saturn9. nasa uses it to shoot things into space. the hanger also has a cafe where we got some lunch. i had french fries. they were good. i also ate a bit of pizza, that was just ok. there's other stuff in the hanger too like- old space suits, a moon lander, the bus that astronots ride out to the launch pad. you know, stuff like that. i touched a bit of moon rock, again. for a guy who's never left the earth, i touch a lot of moon rock. 

after we saw everything in the hanger we got back on the bus and went back to the main part of the space center. we went to the movies. that was good. we watched a 3d imax movie about the space station. i tried to touch things as they floated past my face. 3rd is pretty neat. an orange almost flew out and hit me in the head. the space station looks like a fun place to hang out. 

after the movie we went to the launch simulator. you get strapped into a chair and shaken back and forth. it's really loud and bumpity. i liked it a lot. nasa is pretty darn cool. we finished our launch ride just in time for a rain storm. we ducked into a cafe for drinks. i had some orange soda. i love orange soda!

the rain died down a bit. it was getting close to closing time so we hit the gift shop. we walked around a bit looking at stuff. some guy in a space suit was sitting there shaking hands and people were taking his picture. he got up to leave just as i walked past the table. he grabbed my hand and shook it. what the heck? he asked mom if she wanted to take a picture. mom said no so he went off and grabbed other little kid's hands as he made his way out of the store. mom said- that the guy was a real live astronaut who'd been up in space. so what, now i have space cooites? everyone picked things to buy. mom got a flat drinking bag and some weird ass space ice cream. we stood around in line for ages and finally paid. 

out to the car we walked just as a rain storm started again. mom drove us back to orlando in a wicked bad storm, or so she says. i fell asleep and missed the whole thing. 

today we went to orlando. mom and grdad went to the trippleA and bought a bunch of tickets for things to do in orlando. i have no idea what is going on. i was just told to pee and get in the car. mom drove us down the highway for a few hours. orlando is not that far from where we live but it's far enough that you don't want to drive home again after a long day of doing things. so we got a hotel. mom booked it online before we left. we checked in and found our room. oh my god. it was awesome.
our hotel is super nice. there's a bunch of big beds. there's two bathrooms and a kitchen. there are 3 tvs. it's kind of like being at home. we lugged all our bags in and then it was off to walmart for food and drinks. we're staying for a week, we're going to need breakfast things and treats. so i walked around walmart with jammma, grdad and mom. we found things to put in our carts. we spent like an hour roaming around. finally we got enough stuff and checked out.
mom drove us back to the hotel. the big people unpacked everything while i watched nicktoons. jammma and i were pretty tired so we staid in the room while mom and grdad went out for a quick dinner. that's about it really. tomorrow we're going out and doing stuff so i better get to bed.

today is mother's day. happy mother's day to my old mom. so far so good. she hasn't eaten me yet.
this morning mom made everyone a big batch of baked french toast. it smells really good but i don't like it. i had my usual bowl of cinnamon pillows.
we all just kind of flopped around the house. it's very hot out. jammma and grdad aren't used to this kind of weather.

today was football. mom and grdad loaded a bunch of chairs into the car and a cooler full of drinks and a bag full of snacks. today is our turn to bring the after game treats. mom drove us to the Y. it's hot and sunny out. i'm pretty sure jammma almost melted from the heat. i did too. lucky for me i had a big gatoraid to drink. the game was pretty good. once again i almost kicked the ball around. i wasn't really paying attention. i just ran aimlessly about. i don't really care about football/soccer.

not much going on today. my dad went off to work. i've been spending time with my jammma. mom drove us all to walmart for some shopping. that's about it really. jammmma and grdad flew very far on the airplane so they're pretty tired and all confused as to what time it is. i know that feeling.

i woke up this morning and stumbled into my bedroom to get some underwear. there were people in my bed. what's going on? i looked and would you believe jammma and grdad were sleeping in my room? AWESOME! my jammma and grdad have come for a nice long visit. i am so excited. i can't wait to show them around. today we took it easy and just went for a little walk around the apartment complex and had a play at the park next to the pool. it was great fun.
this afternoon we all went to karate. i did punches and kicks and jammma did the class with the mom's. it was very fun. she did punches and kicks too. watch out my jammma knows karate now!

ok, some weird ass shit is going on. mom spent the whole day cleaning and dad came home early from work. dad got home. dropped off his bag, got in the car and left again. what the fuck? i told mom- doesn't he know he's supposed to come home at night? mom said i can sleep in the big bed tonight so i can give dad some kisses when he gets home. she said he had to go out for some work meeting bullshit.

there was more cleaning again today. what the hell? mom and i did the laundry. while the clothes got clean we went to the Y for a bit. nothing super exciting going on.
went to karate this afternoon with mom. they are having a mother's day special. mom's can do the class too. my mom got up and did punches and kicks. it was pretty funny.

today mom and i are just hanging out. there's lots of activity going on. mom is cleaning stuff. there's lots of cleaning. i asked her why and she stopped cleaning to sit down and watch movies instead. very strange. what's going on around here?
i talked to grdad and jammma for a bit on skype today. i wish i could have talked longer but after an hour mom shooed me away to go do other stuff. i wish jammmma and grdad would come visit me.

it's sunday! i'm spending the day hanging out with my mom. what the hell? dad had to go to work. he's working on a bunch of projects.

today was a busy day. i had a football/soccer game this morning. it was stupid hot out. i ran around on the field and didn't pay any attention to the actual game. i'm just in this for the gatoraid. i love that stuff.
after football mom and i just went home to relax in the air conditioning. there's something going on tonight that mom is all excited about. she's been getting her camera ready.
just a quick update before i head off to bed. tonight there was a super moon. i guess it's the closest the earth will be to the moon for the whole year and it was a full moon. so that's what makes it super? i don't know. anyway. mom and i picked up dad at work. mom drove us to this place called kanapaha gardens. basically it's a place with loads of different plants. you walk around and look at plants. so that's what we did. we saw some cool stuff. i walked around with my dad and we saw lizards rustling in the fallen leaves. lizards are silly. we found mom and took a walk down to the water. there were lilly pads. i saw a tiny frog sitting on one. we also saw turtles, eating the lilly pads. neato.
eventually it got dark. mom went to the snack station and got us some drinks and a slice of pizza. dad and i ate the pizza. it was good. i really like pizza now. we stumbled through the dark to a clearing with a bunch of telescopes set up in it. i got to look through some of the scopes. i saw mars. it's just a big redish ball in the sky. i saw saturn. it's got rings around it. there was some waiting. around 9pm the moon finally showed his face over the tree line. it was pretty big. mom took a few pictures. i got to take a few too.
when the pictures were taken we all stomped back through the woods to our car. mom drove us home and now it's time for bed

today was exciting! my dad took off work. he had to go on an important interview in jacksonville. jacksonville is a big city about an hour away from where we live. mom and i drove him there. we dropped dad off so he could make his meeting. mom and i set off to find a place to pee. we walked around a bit. the talking lady said there should be a restaurant near where we parked the car. mom and i looked and looked. no restaurant to be found. i ended up peeing on a tree in this field. classy. hey, i'm just a kid and i really had to go. peeing on a tree is better than peeing in your pants.
i was kind of hungry so mom and i went back to the car. mom punched in restaurants and a whole bunch came up within a mile of our location. we followed the talking lady's directions but no restaurants were found. we drove around and around. the talking lady recalculated again and again. eventually mom just pulled into this business park. there was a deli! perfect. mom and i went in. i got an order of french fries. mom and i shared them. when we finished it was back in the car. mom drove us back across the street and there was dad, looking very confused. he jumped in the car and mom punched in our next destination into the talking lady.
we drove for a little bit. we ended up in this parking lot. what's this place? mom said- read the sign. oh yeah, i can do that. ZOO. we're at the zoo!
me and my dad, and mom spent the rest of the day at the zoo. it was awesome. jacksonville zoo is pretty good. we saw lots of neat animals and we even got to feed some of them. mom got a little cup of nectar and we walked into this screened off area. as soon as mom walked through the door a bunch of brightly colored birds flew over and landed on her. they walked on her head and down her arm to drink the nectar. one cheeky bird tried to dump all the nectar out. silly bird. i got to hold the cup too and birds came over to drink. it was great fun. i tried to pet a couple of the birds. I LOVE BIRDS! we visited with the skates and rays too. mom got a small cup of chopped up fish and i watched her feed the rays. that was pretty cool. they just swim over and hoover up the fish with their mouths. i touched a couple rays on their fins. it was neat.
we tried to feed the giraffes but they weren't interested. at the end of the day we got a quick snack of pretzeled  bread and back to the car we went. it was a super fun day.

nothing super exciting today. mom and i have just been hanging out. she's been cleaning stuff and i'm been watching tv. i went to karate today. same old same old going on around here.

it's the 1 of may! my birthday is this month. once again it's stupid hot out. mom made a phone call this morning to say our sink was clogged and the toilet in my bathroom needed adjusting. she says we have to get the house ready for birthday visitors. dana bunny and gdad will be coming to town. i had to pick up all my toys so mr hoover can come suck up the crumbs.
mom and i got dressed and we went to the grocery store. tomatoes are on sale or something. mom filled the cart full of canned tomatoes. what the hell! who's going to eat all those tomatoes? dana bunny. they are her favorite kind and our store has them on super sale so mom bought a bunch for her to pick up when she visits. that's really all we went to the store for. our house is already full of food.
paid for the tomatoes and mom drove us home again. mom told me about this movie where two guys travel through time in a phone booth collecting historical figures for their school project. no way. i don't believe you can time travel in a phone booth. that's just silly. so she put on this movie: bill and ted's excellent adventure. we watched it. yes in deed these guys did go around in a time travelling  phone booth. it wasn't as good as back to the future though. i asked mom to put that on for me, so she did.
the doorbell rang and mom said i could get it. i opened the door and said- hi, my name's hardwick. and the guy standing there said hi, my name's rob. mom was right there so she told him to come right in. he's our fix it man for today. i sat on the couch to watch my movie while fix it man worked on our clogged sink. it only took him a minute. all it needed was the right kind of plunging. mom saw how he did it so if it happens again she can fix it herself. then rob went and took care of the toilet flush problem. turns out the handle was just a bit loose. easy fix. awesome.
when back to the future was done it was time for karate practice. mom got me dressed and off we went. karate was pretty good. i fooled around a little but i didn't have to sit out. today we did flying kicks. they were super fun. we also played leap frog to practice our jumping. what a silly game.
