Breakfast of champions

Yet another reason why we love Hobees. 3B's parents managed to slip in a whole meal while he worked his way through the whipped cream. He spent some time on the toast that came later, and sipped milk from a cup without a fancy lid too.

How to take a really fine picture

First you tell your subjects that you are taking a picture. Then you give them some time to pose and make sure their face looks the way it should freeze. As my mother always said, if you do that long enough, your face will freeze that way, and look what happened to my sister.
I think these boys must have called each other and decided on outfits that involved orange for today. Just where the orange occurs is not as important as the fact that you are wearing that color.
Do not think, even for a moment, that this boy is asleep. In reality, he is looking for a comfortable position.
As you can see from here, he heard the advice about his face freezing, and decided to show another part to the camera, given a moment to pose.
This boy finally figured out how to give the camera a smile by the cable car.Free lunch is not what it once was when good weather and water in the fountain brought flocks of tourists and office workers to feed these winged rats.Look what 3B can do all by himself. Of course he is doing it by himself. He is showing those tall people who insist on holding his hands how to do it right. Up the stairs, down the stairs, up the stairs, down the stairs, are we having fun yet? What nice parents.Who just flew all the way across the country to eat New York food? We found local fare around the corner.After a long day in the city, it is important to sharpen your brain and see just how old it might be. Mine is old and getting older, but my sister wants the machine to tell her that hers is getting younger.

Reunion time

Getting together with family is lots of fun. It is important to show off the latest technology, especially if it involves testing the age of your aunt's brain. What a cute boy is sitting across from auntie and Pooh.
We not only saw the elephant, we took a ride on him too.
Look, the bears my dad once climbed.
I think at this time the young man is going north.
What a swinger. Of course he is checking out the girl on the next swing.

Here is how to top a bear.
Chatty.

Duck to go under, but it is OK to stand up in the middle.

Back Home Again

I made it back to my old home, so I could open things up and turn on the heat (air and water) so everything will be all nice when the family arrives. The flight down was mostly uneventful. There were clouds everywhere, so the goegraphy was hard to decipher. Somehow the pilot found his way in safely. Finally, at the end, I could see too.I found a funny looking car waiting for me when I arrived. I think it has enough space for my passengers. I hope it does not eat too much gas. I am looking forward to another trip or two to the airport tonight, and even more fun next week. I did some shopping after I arrived, and even found this "vegeterian" turkey.
I left it at the store.

A night at the races

Tonight in preparation for my 5:00 AM departure from home, I went to the races. Sporting events are important to children, especially when they design their own vehicles. Here the cars are at the start: A good viewing angle is crucial to determining how your car is doing.
My boy and his racer.
Smile, so I will remember you nicely when I am gone.
Now I should go to bed so I can get up and leave the house earlier than my brother who has a three hour advantage on me.
