Dad makes the fanciest quesadillas you’ve ever seen. Sure, they have cheese and tortillas, but he also uses a special third ingredient:

OLIVES!

Oh, yes. They’re good.

Srsly.

You know they’re good because Zoe even puts them in her toes.

See?

Here–try this one. She prepared it just for you.

I have been studying dance for long enough that it was time to put on a performance.

(The pros all use these squares to mark their spots.)

What’s that?

You think I’m rather good?

Oh my! Why thank you!

See my ankle here?

Your ankle can’t do that.

I think Zoe’s ankles can …

… but she was busy putt-putting around the rec center, making friends and holding a piece of cereal in each hand.

I need to keep my hands free for performing.

I am all about the dance.

You can tell …

… that my dedication has paid off, no?

Why …

… thanks again!

I am trying to be a flamingo here.

Miss Elizabeth asked me to remind her how it’s really done.

Boom!

Thanks for stopping by. See you next time for figure skating!

To celebrate the birthday of fireworks, we went to the zoo.

Riley said we needed to start off with a light snack.*

*One of everything.

Dad kept squeezing her–probably so she wouldn’t pack all the zoo food into her tummy.

Then it was time for some marching, of course.

Choosing a lollipop is serious business.

One last hand-washing in the family restroom …

… one last attempt to scare the kangaroos with a lion costume …

… and it was time to go.

We went to the Dinosaur Bones Place* yesterday.

Riley copied my slide style.

Since she knows how to walk, she also did other stuff.

There’s this really cool exhibit where you run on a path and it records your every move.

Here you can see Riley and Riley surrounding Dad as he runs like a monkey. (You will not see this anywhere else in the world.)

DINOSAUR BONES!

Riley knows how to use touchscreens …

… so she did some of that too.

I, on the other hand, showed off my gator-rasslin’ skills.

Riley tried being a TOLOGIST* for a few minutes.

*Paleontologist

Science!
