Peddle Boatin'

We went to a nearby lake this weekend and rented a peddle boat. Goose wasn't scared at all! In fact, he embraced the new experience with open arms!

Here he is with keys in hand, in his new digs, ready to go!

"Look, mama, lotsa water!!"

Here he is ready to test out the water..

This is his very serious look...my fav pic of the day!

"Oh, mama, the water is cold!!"

Goose climbing front to back on the boat...no fear I tell ya, no fear at all!!

Dada dippin' Goose in the water...

Ha ha ...good times!!

"Yeah, that's right, I got in the water...and what?!?"

Awww... a boy & his dada!

More dips in the lake!!..

On our way back to the marina...mama's peddlin'!!

Urine or You're Out!

My sis sent me this email and I think whoever wrote this is marvelously brilliant! :) What do you think?

"Like most folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem.. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.

So, here is my Question: Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ass - doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? I guess we could title that program, 'Urine or You're Out'."

Petting Zoo

This weekend McDreamy had off! Since this is such a rare occasion, we decided to take FULL advantage of it!! The fact that it was 80 degrees all weekend didn't hurt either! On Saturday, we took Goose to the petting zoo. He had a blast and loved seeing all the animals. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Goose was scared of the goats at first..

But then dada showed him how to pet them..

He gave it a whirl..and dada said "sheep, baa baa"..

Goose recognized what he was saying and then got very excited!..

This is him saying "baa baa" chasing the goats..haha..

Aww, such a little man walking with his mama... Looking at (uhh..away from) the injured eagle..so amazing! (not his injury, the bird itself)..

Water break!

This is my fav pic from the day!! Awww!!..

See!..Mr. Independent!! :)

These little guys are so darn cute!!..

We made one more stop at the goats before sharing a popsicle, grabbing something to eat & going home!

I think Goose had a great day! :)...as did his mama & dada!!

Tending to those farm animals is hard work! ;)

Pictures at the lake coming soon!!
