Visit to Grammie & Pop Pop's

I love these little guys. They are all over Pop Pop's garden. Some are bigger than this but I like the little guys the best. Pop Pop says they help protect his flowers from the evil flower eatting deer monsters that come at night. From the look of some of his flowers I think the Garden Nome's need to step their game up, as you can see these little fellas are all lounging about. Get back to work guys Pop Pop's flowers are depending on you!
Oh boy! My two favorite things to do in the house are help Grammie sweep the floor and help Pop Pop wind his big clock. as you can see I was doing a little of both on this visit. Now if I could just reach that key.
Look, there they are, the deer monsters, but they don't look very frightening at all. Come on Garden Nome's get it together, start doing your job or Pop Pop might have to hire me to take care of those spotted deer monsters

Trip to the Pax River Playground with Dad

Let the journey begin! Off to conquer the Jungle Gym.My fellow toddlers, here before us stands one of the grandest peaks in all the world. I am here today to best this beast and reach it's peak and return before night fall. Wish me luck and God bless you all!
I am off on my journey and just seconds in I come to the perilless suspended bridge crossing. I have crossed bridges like this before but none as difficult as this one. One wrong step, and well you know the rest.

Man this is crazy! I am really watching my step as the bridge sways in the wind and each step is a balancing act. I really hope those support chains hold, I better get a move on just in case they give way. I don't want another repeat of my last bridge crossing where I almost fell but I was able to climb my way to safety.
Yippie swings! Had to take a break from the expedition and take in a little fun. The swings were not that far off the path and I can make up the time. So I had to indulge.

Trip to Pax River Playground with Dad continued

I love the swing and Daddy really knows how to give a good push. I was pretending I was on a roller coaster and would put my hands up just before swinging down. This gave a really cool feeling and I just had to smile big for Daddy. We had lots of fun.

Back on track to the summit. I even went through the tube on the way to the top. They say this was uncharted territory here, well at least for me, I usually take the easier route because I never have liked the tube route. Today, Daddy was with me and I felt safe and wanted a challenge so I took it on and went through. It wasn't that bad after all and saved me time in reaching the peak.I am Collin, King of the Jungle Gym! I exclaimed this once I reached the top and felt like I was above all else. Oh by the way look how beautiful that sky looks above. I hope it is this beautiful when I conquer Mt. Everest. I figure this was some good training for Everest. So I think I'll be ready to go in a few years, maybe I will wait until 4. In the meantime I will warm up with easy climbs like Mt. Katahdin in Maine.Me after a big jump. I was just coming down. I was excited about my accomplishment and just had to jump around a little.
After my summit I had to stop at the bottom so Daddy could remove the rocks from my shoes. I guess I should have left my Stride Rite sandals in the bag for this trip and went with the Stride Rite climbing shoes. Oh well, either way, I did it and it was a huge success.
