dandy lion hunter


We're here in California! It's hot! It's full of bugs! It's dry! It's sunny! While I miss Alaska terribly, I'm also having terrible amounts of fun with my little lion hunter.

There are so many new things here to show him. For instance, yesterday we watched a spider catch a fly.. seriously, we were both enthralled.

He has learned that he is brave enough to go down big spirally slides all alone, and he tries so hard to make his sister laugh in the car that he ends up cracking himself up instead. It really makes Mark and I laugh!

Today at the library, after I bored him with my book-search, he found some majorly fun toys. When I pried him off it, I had to stop his screeching with hilarious attempts at getting a drink from a drinking fountain. He's always played more than drink, but it at least stopped his terrible-2-screeches. Stinker.

We have found a killer mall (even has my favorite furniture store), killer strawberry shakes, and killer bugs - one of which was left smashed on my wall by the previous live-ins - yes! It's a good thing California has beaches and movie stars! Oh, and I do love this tan I've already traded my whiteness in for. It was a good trade, I tell ya.

I have lots more I could tell this blog, but it's a wee bit late, and I'm a wee bit tired. I'm off to carry my wee-est little one upstairs in her basket.

Isn't California so much better than the cold? Too bad we have to go back to the snow this winter.

Sounds like you're having a great time, but I don't blame you one bit for missing Alaska!
