The Further Adventures of Lion-San

Hi everyone!
Even more of the trees are turning color now, and we have lots of leaves falling out of the trees. The apples are getting ripe, too, and I had a very apple week! Last Sunday, the Young Families from Grandma and Grandpa’s church came out to Sodus to pick apples at Crackerbox Palace (Alasa Farms). I got to see my friends Lyla and Nina and Patrick and Lily and Hannah again! Continue reading “Apples, Apples, Apples!”

Hi, everyone!
Grandpa says today is officially the last day of summer, and we had some summer weather again this week! On Wednesday, Grandma and Grandpa took me to Corbett’s Glen. That’s a park in the valley of Allens Creek. It’s a little hard to find! We had to walk under a railroad bridge and go past somebody’s house to get there! The creek gets into the park the same way we did. Continue reading “The Last Days of Summer”

Hi, everyone!
Last weekend, Grandpa got a repair kit and fixed the leak in Godzilla that Uncle Steven found. I helped Grandpa inflate Godzilla and Godzilla stood right up! There was a nice sailing breeze, so Grandma and Grandpa took me out for a sail. Look at how far the sailboat heels over when there’s a nice wind! I got to help Grandma trim the jib and then I helped Grandpa steer the boat. Continue reading “Sails and Rails”

Hi, everyone!
Last Friday Uncle Steven and Aunt Kara brought James out to Sodus for the weekend! James brought his lion, and we’re getting to be good friends! After lunch, we all took a ride to Burnap’s Farm Market. While Grandma and Aunt Kara bought heirloom tomatoes and melons and lettuce, we lions and Uncle Steven and James went to the wooden train in the play area. Continue reading “A Long Weekend with James!”

Hi, everyone!
It was really hot during our last weekend in Japan! On our way back from the Skytree on Friday, we got sashimi and yakitori at the grocery store for dinner. I watched to make sure Karin-chan ate her dinner! On Saturday, Bill-kun and Karin-chan and I played with water balloons in the wading pool to stay cool. Continue reading “There and Back Again”

Hi everyone!
We had a busy week! On Monday, we took the train to go to Nikko, up in the mountains. We had to get up very early and walk to the local train station to get to Shinjuku on time for our Nikko train! We bought breakfast food at Shinjuku to eat on the Nikko train. Guess what? Bill-kun’s loose front tooth finally came out while we were on the train! Continue reading “Nikko and Skytree!”

Hi, everyone!

Grandma and Grandpa and I are in Japan, visiting Bill-kun and Karin-chan and their mommy and daddy.  Bill-kun really likes Cheerios, but they aren’t sold in Japan.  So Grandpa bought six big boxes to take to him!  And Grandma bought some American chocolate for Bill-kun’s other grandma.  I was a good helper packing up the gifts to carry on the airplane.  Continue reading “A Big Trip!”

Hi, everyone!

It’s been almost a week since our last rainstorm, and we’ve had sunny days!  In Fairport, the lawn dried out enough for me to visit my friends, the four leaf clovers.  Grandma says finding one is supposed to bring you good luck.  I wonder how much good luck I’ll have from finding a whole patch?  Continue reading “More Company!”

Hi, everyone!

Grandma and Grandpa and I spent the long Fourth of July holiday at Sodus.  Right after we left Fairport on Wednesday afternoon, there was lots and lots of rain there!  At Sodus, the rain stopped in time for the fireworks display at Sodus Point.  We had storm-pretty sunsets on the Fourth of July and the day after.   Continue reading “Company Came!”

Hi, everyone!

It’s officially summer now, and the weather is beginning to agree.  Some of my friends are on summer vacation.  Moose-san sent me a postcard from Maine. My friend Monster Rock in Michigan sent me an e-mail with a picture of him stretching after he woke up from winter hibernation.    We are still having some rainstorms, but that makes the sunsets really pretty!
