Dad processed a few more photos. In this one, I'm sitting in front of some hay at the farm.

In this one, Big Sis is fascinated by flamingos.

This is the hole in the top of our mailbox. Dad thinks it's pretty interesting that mailboxes are made with rainholes on top.

This is one of the little plants in our front yard. Like my neighbor friend Simon (Riley: "SYBIT!") says, we pretty much just let whatever grow there.

The neighbors had a sprinkler party in their garden today!

See?

Their garden is full of real plants--not whatever grows from the seeds that the neighborhood animals poop there.

I'm looking at you, Mom and Dad!

Hey, Dad tested out a new ancient cheapo lens today.

I tried to hide from it behind this pole, but I don't think it worked.

Baby Zoe didn't even try to hide.

Neither did this flower.

Dad was testing the lens's flare resistance here. He says it's typical of multi-coated optics from the 1970s.

I stopped listening halfway through and stared at these flowers instead.

My friend Eva and I participated in athletic endeavors the other day.

Dad figures if it gets me a free ride to Stanford, it's a solid use of my time.

Eva gave me a few lacrosse pointers.

Dad kept wandering off to take pictures of nothing in particular. This is part of the bulldozer that lived in front of our house for a couple of days.

And these are flowers from the jungle outside our front door.

This is from our jungle too. I think Dad was testing out a new lens.

Seems pretty good.

I'm going to see Dora the Explorer Live tomorrow in Denver, so the parents brought me home some sushi for carbo-loading.

The lemon that sometimes comes with avocado sushi (?!?) is the best part.

Hooray for carbs!

This is Charlie, a new dog on the block. I tried to feed him lots of sticks today. I guess he'd already eaten lunch or something. He wasn't too hungry for sticks.

The garden in front of my house is getting a bit wild.

These are some flowers from the garden. Once they're old and dried up, I'll feed them to a dog.

Mom and Dad don't seem to put a lot of effort into the garden, so I take care of it as best I can.
