Dad was helping out at the Rocky Mountain Lab Rescue 5K fundraiser the other day.

Haley ( from www.HaleyPoulos.com ) shot these candids of him and Cliffy. If you ever want to make dad laugh, all you need to do is sneak up on him in a mascot costume, pulling a little red wagon.

Dad is up to his old tricks again.

He says that since he gives the baths around here, he gets to decide if it's a Mohawk Day.

I'll give you three guesses what today was.

I do make it work, though.

Riley hugged me, to try to make me feel better about my look, but it didn't work all that well.

Dad says he took all of these with his ancient German manual-everything lens.

If we've learned nothing else from the ShamWow! guy, at least we've learned that "the Germans make good stuff."

Dad also says that I could store acorns in my cheeks for the winter.

I have no idea what he's talking about.

There's a magical rock wall on Pearl Street.

Water flows down the wall from the top--all day long!

I leaned up against it and got soaked, so my parents had to put me in to my car seat without clothes. Good times.

I guess security at these places is pretty lightweight. Mom and Dad were able to get me into a real sushi restaurant!

Do you think the waitstaff had any idea what they were in for?

I LOVE SUSHI!

We got some kind of teriyaki dish too.

Actually, mom ordered herself the teriyaki, and she got me some noodles off the kids' menu, but I made her switch with me.

I know what I'm doing in these places. We don't need to get all pedestrian on my account.

For example, these are chopsticks, mmkay?

Mine came with this nifty rubberband up top.

I don't need it there, but it's nice that they wanted to be helpful.

This is an example of what chopsticks are not meant to do.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how I roll.

See?

Sometimes you do just have to toss back a noodle or two with the tools you were born with.

Mom tried to pass off the kids' menu noodles to Zoe, but Zoe knew better.

Mom and dad introduced me to "caterpillar rolls" today.

No caterpillars were harmed in the making of this maki.

Eh? Did you see what I did there? Thank you. I'll be here all week. Tip your server well. I know Mom and Dad sure did.
