Feldman Cubs

Dad's friend Haley was here today, so she picked up his camera and favorite lens and showed him how it's really done.

In return, I showed her how to play "feed sticks to the fish in the lake."

I also showed her how to play with dandelions.

I keep missing my gymnastics classes, so we got in a little practice.

I think Dad is fond of me.

Some kid left behind all this high-end construction equipment, so I spent a little time with it. You can build anything with a good set of tools.

Dad and I went over our plans to build a five-lane suspended highway in the sandbox.

He just kept smiling even when I told him the sandbox isn't zoned for a commercial freeway.

Yep. He's definitely fond of me.

Sometimes if he tickles me, I tickle him back.

TUNNEL!

TUNNNNNNNEL!.

It was great to see someone with a clue finally using dad's camera. I hope Haley comes back whenever we need real photos taken. Right, Dad?

I guess there are some things you just can't joke about.

Just one quick photo from the playground. I climb this thing to make dad nervous.

I smile now.

I also do stuff like this.

Ayup.

Ba ha ha ha ha!

See what I did there?

Since people have been asking ...

Dad set aside the old-fashioned German lens today and went with the 85mm.

He apologizes to any Germans who Make Good Stuff.

You just can't beat fast glass.

I have no idea what that means, but Dad sits in the corner and mumbles it to anyone who'll listen.

Dad took me down to the lake today.

I like to say hello to the geese ("BIRDIE BIRDIE BIRDIE BIRDIE!") and offer them things I find on the ground.

I also like to do a little Vegan Fishing (you just eat the stick at the end of the day), but dad took me home when I wouldn't stop putting my feet into the water.

If I don't fill up on sticks, Zack is happy to share his Oreos with me.
