Morning on the Island

 hmmm.  lovely morning.  here i am looking at some foliage which really has grabbed my attention.

beautiful backdrop and deep in thought.

Pink Bunnies

first i would like to give a shout out to Uncle Rob for donating the WeeRide.  it really is super cool.  way better than riding in the back, i can see everything!  my dad's 29'er makes for a really smooth ride.  disc brakes make is safe too.

finally my parents got my pink helmet - Pink Bunnies!  i was riding around for a week with a blue one.  dressed in pink wearing a blue helmet??? 

Gymnastics

 Time for gymnastics!  i was supposed to be in a beginning class, but not enough little babies.  so i got bumped up to the older babies class.

 so close to crawling it is not even funny.  any day now.  any minute actually.

 here i am in the foam pit.   interestingly you cannot wear socks in the foam pit.  the foam blocks will actually suck the socks right off your feet.  no joke.

trampoline!  strangely enough they are called "Eurotramps".  dad thought it was funny anyway...

Wilderness Hike

 dad has me all set up in my new hiking backpack.   what a hassle.  had to special order red to keep mommy happy!  as you can see,  i am all bundled up - cold and windy out there.  you can also see a very determined look in my eyes!

 a shot of the California landscape.  or Californascape.

 this is actually part of the trail that we were hiking on.  looks like some pretty thick foliage.  but we went for it.  

 taking a break.  i have my walking stick and a water bottle.

this was a strange rock outcroping that we found.  the wonders of erosion!

I love the pool!

 you can see how much i enjoy the water.  the first time my parents took me to the pool they had me in a regular diaper.  morons...  actually it was my dads idea.  i cried and cried.  it was like the biggest wettest diaper ever!

now the parents have wised up.  lil' swimmers!

full baller pad here.  infinity pool.  right on the green of this par three.  if you look behind me you can see the lake.  if you are scared of the water on your tee shot - you can bail out left and hope for par!

did i mention loving the pool?

Uncle Stephen's LX

 here i am in the back of my uncle Stephen's LX 450.  my dad helped find this bad boy.  we are getting it ready to ship out to the east coast.  it is sort of filthy back here but overall, it is a true diamond in the rough.  just remember that carpet can always be cleaned.

 a close up shot.  look at how my eyes sparkle!  that leather back there is looking good too...  interesting looking back at these pictures.  i am not wearing bids anymore.

here is the baller, shot caller, pimp ride.  semi detailed and looking sick.

First Trip to Italy

 this was when we were flying to London.  the sweet hammock like device i am in is called a "Fly Baby".  comfy.  so comfy in fact that with all the white noise in the plane it was an easy flight for me!!!

 here is my cousin Rebecca's school.  daddy went down to see the Italian school system in action.  look at all the parents!  all the way down the block.  teacher will not even let the students go unless they make eye contact with the parent.  secure.

 this is the view from the patio of my friend Francesco's house.  excellent no?

 here i am laughing after seeing that wonderful view.

 in Belluno i was so hungry i tried to eat my auntie's face!

one of mom's favorite places - Firenze.  this is the boar.  rub his nose and you will have good luck.  let's hope so.
Ciao Tutti
