Force Awakens

It's finally here, Star Wars Episode 7. R2D2 was at the theater.

And a Jawa, I'm almost as tall as he is.

I am ready for my first Star Wars movie in the theater. (P.S. it was good. But "not that good.")

Cleveland Hanukkah

Me and all my cousins at Grammie's party.

I took a break from the chaos to watch a quick movie.

Then I was back in the fray!

Marshmellow Wake Up Call

Mom and Dad use Marshmellow to wake me up some mornings, that seems like an unfair use of his cuteness.

Hanukkah at School

Dad and Mom came to my class to talk about Hanukkah.

We read a book and taught everyone how to play dreidel.

Couch

At one end of the couch is my buddy Marshmellow, reprogramming Dad's keyboard...

And at the other is me, playing Disney Infinity.

Awesome Sunset

The sunset was beautiful.

It looked like the sky was on fire.

RMSC Fun, then Gelato

I'm getting better at the climbing wall.

We have to pedal faster, Dad, to light the light bulbs.

Time for a disguise: this time I'm a beaver!

A beaver that eats squirrels, apparently......

Mom and I are practicing being H2O Heroes.

Disguise #2 is Stegosaurus. 

Now onto the science stuff, like pulley platforms.

And air flow tests.

I designed a weather balloon that floated in the right spot on my first try.

Hey, NOAA, check out this design.

Mom and tried another style.

Operating the crane is one of my favorite things.

Peace out, man. Before I turn into a tower-dropping beast.

This tower is more like a fortress.

Mom helped me fortify it. 

What a fun day! Made better by a quick stop for gelato at the George Eastman Museum.

Marshmellow

Marshmellow lets me carry him all over. He's cuddly.

Chewie in December

I am ready for Star Wars.... I have a complete Chewbacca ensemble.

It's not quite the bow blaster, but this will work against stormtroopers.

Are the fluffy feet throwing off my look?

Penitentiary Glen - Candy Land

So for fun we stopped at Penitentiary Glen (a wild animal help center) where they have a full size Candyland board game.  First we looked at some of the taxidermied animals inside.

Then headed outside to see some live ones.

Next to warm up we had some tea.

We'll me and Dad did.  I had mint tea, Dad has some black tea.

Then it was on to the game of Candyland.

Dad has shuffled the cards... and we did the board in THREE CARDS!  First card was the first square, the second card took us all the way through the board to the acorn right near the end, and the third and final card was the final square... I don't think you could have done it any faster...

That was funny Dad... we should go through it until we use up all our cards.

So we did that... stopping to take some pictures on the way.

Like the Honey Tree here.

Which Dad joined me in front of...

Or the nut shop, that Mom wanted a picture with me at.

So here is the stack of cards we had, in front of the grape vine.

And the bridge that gave you a short cut.

Afterwards we played around in some of the other areas.

Then we headed outside, and got a family picture.

And one with Grammie.  Who had a fun time with us.

Thanksgiving!

So for Thanksgiving Day, we went to my Uncle J's house..  where I got to play with my cousins' C and N.

We built an awesome car track, that only took us a bit to get working.

We designed some entertainment for everyone, and put on a multi-act show.

We danced and acted to the musical numbers we played.

Swinging and dancing with cool hats and such.

Everyone enjoyed them.

It was also cousin's N's birthday.  So she got cake.
