Dylan Days 2 and 3

Dylan says:
Yesterday we went to the library and got a lot of books.

I got to eat chocolate at Great-Grandma's, and Mommy let me eat more than usual.

We found a baby alligator snapping turtle at the river. Uncle Tom is a scientist, and he thought it was just a regular snapping turtle.

On Monday, Grandpa made M&M pancakes for Dylan, and they were yummy. They are Dylan's favorites. We played more computer games (are you surprised?).
In the afternoon, Dick put the mower deck on the big tractor, and mowed the entire lawn. While he was doing that,we went to visit Great Grandma, and she really enjoyed seeing Tom without his pony tail! And she kept Dylan well supplied with chocolate.
When we got home, Laurie and Dylan went exploring down by the pond. Back here at the riverside deck, they found a baby alligator snapping turtle - we were amazed - they're not supposed to live in our area.
Tom went biking at the Sand Lakes Quiet Area, and he liked those trails much better than the Vasa trails.
Laurie, Tom and I watched "Firetrap" starring Dean Cain. It was one of those gross out towering inferno type movies.

Today, Tuesday July 6, Dick made breakfast again - scrambled eggs with sausage and bacon. Very yummy indeed. It was pouring down rain - very heavy at times - so we had to stay indoors and play on the computer and in the play room. In the afternoon, we went to the movies - Laurie, Dick and I went to see Fahrenheit 9/11, and Tom and Dylan saw Around the World in 80 Days. After the movies, Uncle Tom let Dylan get a temporary tattoo (!) and a ride on the Carousel.
