Park and Ride!

I love Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs. My dream is to one day meet Mike Rowe! So when I heard that the Discovery Store may have them for half-off, I was there! We walked to our Metrolink station (stopping at Kayaks for some waffles first) and headed to Union Station, the Arch, and over the river. Check out this cool Lewis and Clark statue, "The Captain's Return," if you are ever near the river!

Deathly Hallows

I was ripped off. As you can see I bear an uncanny resemblance to Harry Potter. Even when I am not in costume people will ask to take my picture. One time we were at The Boathouse and a lady came asked my parents if she could take my picture because I "look like a little Harry Potter."

So how could I not win the Harry Potter costume contest? Mom made the costume for me. She worked really, really hard. I lost to 3-month old baby with a leaf on its head. He was a mandrake root. There was also a girl that beat me, but she was obviously to old to be in my group.

All was not lost. My parents were very proud of me for going up on stage all by myelf. They were a little concerned when we first arrived because I kept hiding from all of the cameras. Oh did I mention that we could not go five feet without someone snapping my picture or saying, "how cute."

I also got to make an owl puppet, a magic potion, and a wand. We got to eat free ice cream and drink free pop. Dad and I also played chess, but I kept calling it checkers.

The EYE Doctor

I went to the eye doctor today. When my Mom told me we were going I was afraid because I thought I was going to get a shot in my eye. I didn't get a shot, but they did put drops in my eyes. I screamed and screamed. My Mom and Dad had to hold me down.

Before all of the torture I did get to play some games. I got to look at pictures of horseys, bears, boats, and houses on the computer. They kept getting smaller and smaller. I did really well. I have 20/20 visions in one eye and 20/25 in the other with my glasses on of course.

I also got to wear funny glasses and look at a flashlight. I wore another pair of glasses like when I went to see Meet The Robinsons. The doctors helper asked me which one of the bugs popped out. I got them all right.

After we were done I got a firetruck sticker and a sucker.
