Continuing Down the East Coast

Mommy took me and baby Lauren down to the Carolinas to visit more of my family. If you can't tell, we're all about family - family visiting us, us visiting family, families growing. No, our family is not growing. Calm down. Our trip started in South Carolina a little over a year after my last trip to South Carolina. Everybody was there and we had the best time!


I was so busy doing so many things. I'm starting to think a lifestyle involving multiple sports is in my future. First I like to start things off with a few swings of the golf club. Some look at my swing and think it a bit odd looking. Perhaps it's the way I hold the club. Perhaps it's the way I face the ball. Perhaps I don't really care what my swing looks like because golf is so much fun! I mean even if I don't make it as a golfer I would still be happy just watching the balls go into and out of the giant ball machine! Thanks, Randall for all your great tips on the game.


Our trip then moved to North Carolina and the mountains. When the sun goes down and we have to leave the golf course I like to switch over to my next favorite sport - football. I think what I like most about the sport is the goofy looking ball you use. Sure golf balls have those funny little bumps in them but a football? Nothing else looks like a football. My hands are a little small so I can't quite hold it right but clearly after watching me play golf you'll realize I'm not about doing things the right way. Thanks, Jake for staying up late with me and playing some football.


Next is swimming and what can I say about it? No, I'm serious. What can I? I don't know how to swim so I can't really say much about it. But floating around aimlessly and splashing in the water? Oh I could talk about that for hours! Put those swimmy things on my arms and I'm golden. But you already knew that. So let this simply be a reminder - I like the pool!


Thanks, mom for such a great time in the Carolinas. I had such a good time and am looking forward to it again next year. So that's New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, California, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin and Hawaii. Slowly closing in on all 50 in LANDEN'S WORLD!

In My Mind I'm Going To Carolina

In my mind I'm still in South Carolina. I had the best time with my aunts and uncles and Nana Joan. Oh and Skip, the dog, wow we had a good time together. Skip would follow me around everywhere! But let me just tell you this, dogs don't like it when you pull their tails. I certainly learned my lesson.



There was this tractor in the garage and every morning they'd pull it out and I'd get to play on it. I'd stand on the side, stand in front, stand in back. Anything I could do to be near the tractor was fine by me. Of course sitting on it was the best.


Boy oh boy do I love soccer. And Aunt Christine has a huge backyard so there was plenty of room for me to run around, Skip too, and kick the soccer ball. Everyone was commenting on how good I was at kicking the ball. I don't see what all the fuss was about. I mean you see the ball and you kick the ball. Right?


As I look around my home I see tons and tons of pictures of, well who else, me! Okay well they're not all of just me. Some include mama and some dada and some even have all three of us. But the one thing I notice about all of them, I can make some pretty silly faces. Speaking of silly faces, check this one out!



I told you I was having fun on the tractor. VROOM! VROOM! VROOM! here in LANDEN'S WORLD!
