Fore!

Last weekend, Daddy and I played golf together at my longest course ever--Buchanan Fields. When I was in England, I got a lot better at golf. My longest drive was 70 yards! Daddy figured that with my newfound power, we could play some bigger courses with actual par 4 holes. I did really well. In fact, on the 6th hole, I managed to get down in 5 strokes. Even without my handicap, this tied what Daddy shot on the hole.

I've now been practicing putting at home to improve my skills. While not as good as baseball, golf is a pretty good game.

Tooth Fairy

My loose tooth fell out shortly before we left from England. I didn't want to put it under my pillow for fear I would get useless English money. Boy am I glad I did. Instead, I waited. The other day, I put the tooth under my pillow and woke up to find ten whole dollars--what a great return on my investment.

York


 

Last weekend, the whole family went with Nainnie to York. It was kind of interesting riding all sort of different trains. We rode the "Cross Country" line and then the "National Express" train from Peterborough to York. The second train was very crowded. When we arrived at York, we went to the National Railway Museum. This was the best train museum ever. It was filled with beautiful trains and interesting interactive things to do.



I also went up on the York Wheel--an enclosed Ferris wheel. We got to go around 4 times. The picture above is me gazing out of the Wheel. I really loved the Wheel but it wasn't as good as the London Eye, which is the most amazing ferris wheel type thing I've ever been on.

York sure is an interesting city.

Loose Tooth

I've got my first loose tooth. It's one in the front on the bottom. I'm trying not to lose it while I'm still in England since the Tooth Fairy will give me English money. I'd rather have American money. Hope I can last that long.

Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs!

Thanks Nainnie for some of the best videos ever.

Kraft! Mmmm.

 

One of the things I miss most about being in England is the great taste of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Fortunately, Nainnie "imported" a couple of boxes when she came to visit us. I just had the last box today. Mmmmm, delicious!

Regatta

 

Yesterday before it started raining, Daddy and I went out and had a paper boat regatta along the canals of the Cam. This was one of the most fun things I've done ever. Our boats sailed all over the place. Sometimes they would get caught on the banks of the river or in som overhanging foliage, and we'd have to wait to see if the wind would rescue them.

Along with Robot X in the afternoon, I pronounced today the bast day I've ever had in England. Yet amazingly, I hardly left the house!

Robot X Returns

It was a rainy day yesterday afternoon in England. Along with the girl who was visiting next door and Daddy, I built a paper city for Robot X to destroy. In this version, Robot X is a Lego creation that I made while over in England. We then filmed it and added a soundtrack. Can you tell who the bird tweeting is?
