More Photos from Iowa

We were driving and saw the Wiener Mobile and we stopped to see it! Someone said you can even live in it! Cool!
I also played a lot of games with Grandpa Denny. He thought he was the Connect Four Champion.
I went to visit Great Grandpa Verton & Pearl. I helped Dad clean out their fish tank. It was HUGE!
I went to watch an IMS Basketball game. After the game all the kids went onto the court and we could practice shooting and dribbling the ball. It was awesome.
My Great Aunt Kathy game me a "Alientologist" (Paleontologist) kit. I was digging for dinosaur bones in Grandma Lou's basement.
Of course I had to make cookies for Santa.
Don't forget the sprinkles.
I had such a fun time in Iowa. I was so sad to leave - but I'll be back this summer!

Sledding!!!

I was so happy there was a lot of snow in Iowa! I went sledding almost every day. Grandma Lou even went too. I think she was a little scared.

I loved going so fast!
WooHoo! Here we go!

What is Grandma doing?


Dad and I had a snowball fight. Then, we both decided to throw snowballs at Mom!
It's a good thing I had my goggles on!
I made snow angels too.
Grandma Lou made me some hot chocolate to warm up after playing in the snow.
I wish I could play in the snow all the time!

Christmas at Grandpa Denny & Grandma LouAnn's

We also had Christmas at Grandpa Denny and Grandma LouAnn's house. Tate and his mom and dad came! Before dinner Tate and I played soccer. Tate is really good at soccer!
For dinner Grandpa made Chili and we had fondue!
Tate and I started playing a new game called "Bye Bye Ling Ling and Bye Bye Baby!" We trowed our panda and baby over the wall and down the stairs. We did this over and over again!
Then, it was finally time for BINGO! Tate and I each won a prize. I love Bingo!
Tate and I each tried on the silly Santa hat while we were passing out the presents.

Tate and I each got a Transformer mask. I liked playing Transformer with Tate!
Then, it was time to put on my new pajamas and go to bed.

Christmas with the Darby's

I went to Iowa to visit all my family. While we were waiting to each Christmas dinner Tammy and I played the piano.
After dinner it was time to open up presents! I had the biggest stocking!
I was so excited when I opened up my brand new Pillow Pet. It's a panda and I named him Ling Ling.

Thanksgiving in Kansas

I went to Kansas for Thanksgiving! We went to Uncle Michael's college to visit and eat dinner. We even got to eat in the cafeteria. It was so much fun.
Then, we went to see Uncle Michael's room. It was cool, but a little smelly!
We stayed in the hotel some times. We played games.
I was the best score keeper!
I went swimming A LOT!

Here's a video of me swimming.

I saw this hat in a gas station and I really really liked it. My mom said that I couldn't get it. That made me sad.

I had a great time in Kansas for Thanksgiving! Now, I'm excited to go to Iowa for Christmas!

Talimena Drive

We took a trip on Talimena Scenic Byway. It starts in Talihina, OK and goes to Mena, AR. Here's me and Dad at the begining of the trip.
There were lots of pretty places to look at.

Trick-or-Treat

I'm Captain America for Halloween.
I went trick or treating with David and Patrick.
Here's Patrick and I at the first house. You have to knock on the door and say "Trick or Treat" and then they give you candy!
Look at how much candy I'm getting!
We all had a good time! We walked and walked and walked...but I got a lot of candy.

Trunk-or-Treat

I went to a Trunk-or-Treat with my best friends David and Patrick. They had lots of games! After you played the game you got a piece of candy. Here I had to throw a piece of candy in a pumpkin's mouth.
Here's David and I playing a fun game. We had to pick up bags with our mouths. We couldn't use our hands and our knees couldn't touch the ground. Once we picked them up a lady cut the bags shorter...
and shorter...
and shorter!
I DID IT! It was a tricky game.
Then, I got to Chuck a Chicken. I had to throw a rubber chicken into a bucket.
Then, I had to throw a bean bag into a clown's mouth. I did it on my first try!
I got to hit a baseball too. I hit it so hard - it even went past the net!
Then, I got to practice hitting a nail with a hammer.
Then, I got to pick out a piece of gold from a pirate! AAARRRRR Matey!
I had a fun time with David and Patrick. I can't wait until tomorrow when I get to go Trick-or-Treating with them!
