Orange Orb Season

Mom & Dad took me to Webb Ranch pumpkin patch to pick a peck of pickled pumpkins. Ha ha! Instead I picked out some lovely non-pickled pumpkins for Halloween. We hiked among the corn stalks to the top of the hill to scope out the u-pick-em pumpkins. I thought the small pumpkins looked like balls, so I did what any young boy would do, I threw 'em.We saw some neat sunflowers which were taller than Dad.
They had some Halloween paraphernalia there also. I wasn't scared at all, here I am checking out the "scary" ball full of bats.

Acorns

I love acorns. They fall from our oak tree in prodigious numbers. I'm training for my baseball pitching career with them (Go Red Sox!). I try to put them back in the tree when I'm done. That doesn't work so well.

Flying

I met up with Uncle Guy at Reed-Hillview airport and he took me up in a little Cessna for a ride. It was lots of fun, we did a two takeoffs and landings and one touch-and-go. It was kind of scary at first, but then I realized that it was a perfect opportunity to practice looking down on my subjects.

Awais and his family got rides also.Thanks Uncle Guy! (And Aunt Joahnna for the pictures.)

Yoda

Rule the world, I will!
...or maybe I'm just a Jawa. Gotta get me one of those sandcrawlers.

I'm getting pretty good at using forks and spoons. I decided it would be fun to upgrade to a serving spoon.It didn't work out so well.

My other skills are getting better, stronger, faster. I train by doing laps around our island with my shopping cart.One of my newly acquired skills is kicking - here I am kicking the snot out of my balloon.
Take that, you inanimate object!

Teaching dangerousness

I'm not going to be able to spread my dangerousness around the world all by myself. I'm going to need lieutenants. So I've started teaching Mirabelle, my favorite lieutenant, how to be dangerous. Here's me being demonstrating a very dangerous move:

And here's Mirabelle practicing a similar move:
I think she's got the hang of it. In fact, I think she's actually learning dangerousness a bit too well. I will not be usurped!

Sicko

Mom and I were both sick over the past few weeks. We spent a lot of quality time huddled on the couch watching Sesame Street.
I recovered just in time for my scheduled naked-bike-ride-around-the-house.In other news, Mirabelle and I hung out a lot. We dined together on the island
And we met up in Napa for an afternoon.We held hands like it was going out of style
We were in Napa for Amy and Prentice's wedding. Mom, Dad, Grandmom, Uncle Wayne, and I attended.
Mom dressed me up in a crazy monkey suit. It was geeky, but Grandma liked it.
