Day 763: Ice Cream!

 Man, vacation in Florida sure is nice. For lunch, Momma gives me ice cream!

And for dinner, more ice cream! I could get used to this place.

Days 758-763: Florida!

I know, I know. I hear you. Where is Charlie??? The answer: Florida! Been having a big ol' time with Mum and Papa and all the Aunties. And also dolphins and manatees. Momma even swam with a shark, but I guess it wasn't intentional. Anyway, I'm sorry for being so quiet. I'll be home later this week and with plenty of photos to share. In the meantime. Happy Memorial Day!

Days 753-757: Grandparents

One of the best things about being a kid is having grandparents. They're like extra parents who show up sometimes to take you places and give you presents. Grandmom and Granddad came up to visit us at the house this weekend and it was very nice to spend the weekend with them. They did some painting, threw some rocks with me, and bought me this cool fly swatter. Don't ask me why Granddad is making that funny face -- Grandmom says he always does that in photos.

Tomorrow, Mom and I fly to Florida to see Mum and Papa. I hope they let me carry my fly swatter on to the plane.

PS - I also hugged a bear. (Don't worry, he's not real. Or stuffed. Well, he's stuffed. But fake stuffed.)

Days 751-752: Trains!

Have you guys ever been on a train? So cool! I'd only been on subway trains until last week when Momma and I took a shiny silver train up to some town where Daddy picked us up. It was fun -- we went so fast! But the bar car was closed. Momma seemed disappointed about that.

Day 750: Nature Boy

 I love New York City, but it's really nice to get out of town on the weekends and go up to the house. Technically, you can throw rocks in Brooklyn, but it'll probably get you in trouble. At the house, though, I can throw them whenever I want. I can also run around on grass that isn't plastic, or I can just sit back and take in the bird songs under a tree. I think in this picture I'm composing some verse.

I also like to go for walks, to the creek, to the caves, to the ruins. On this walk, I saw a frog. Make that, a FROG, but for some reason Daddy kept calling him a toad. 

Days 747-749: Big Jump!

BIG JUMP! Presented without comment.

Days 745-746: Upstate!

Hi! Did you wonder where I went? I went upstate! On a choo choo! With Momma! It was fun!

Finally it stopped raining and today we saw some frogs and also a turkey. Then we went to the playground and I made some paste out of goldfish crackers and milk when I got bored in my car seat! I put this paste in my hair! And in my eyebrows! Ha.
