The Dinosaur Boy Talks Politics

This one is for Nigel Marven. I was watching him the other other night really late and he was showing how alligators protect their babies.

At the SpookTacular, the kids were watching Nightmare Before Christmas. I love that show so much. I started talking to Simmy about the elections and I asked him who he was voting for. He didn't say anything, and his dad told me he's not very interested in voting at his age. I told him I find it quite interesting.

[Dad's Note: Bridger is 7, Simmy is 6. Weston is 5, and he says he finds it "quite interesting also."]

How to Avoid Being Eaten by a Shark

This one is for Jack Skellington. He's my favorite Disney guy ever.

I was swimming in the pool at our hotel yesterday and I was teaching Weston how to get away from a shark if he ever needs to. I learned it on Discovery Channel. You don't want to kick or splash too much because that will make him want to chase you. What you do is just swim slowly away. I didn't see any sharks at the beach this week but it's good to know anyway.

Me and Weston just collected all kinds of shells at the beach. There was clams and oysters and even a dead Gary snail. I wish I could come there every single day. Dadda wishes he would have brought the surf board that he bought in San Diego. Mumma gives him a hard time about buying a surf board when he lives in Utah, but I don't have a problem with it at all.

Burping Sprite

This one is for the brachylophosaurus that they found in Montana. He's a mummy dinosaur named Leonardo.

We were at this rock museum the other night and you could pay a dollar to spin this wheel with numbers on it. Whatever number you get, you look on a big board with numbers on it and you get what prize is on that number.

I won a piece of wood that said "1 free drink" on it. That means I got to have a free Coke, but I don't like Coke so I got Sprite. But you know what's funny about Sprite? It makes me burp accidentally, and when I accidentally burp, some strange smoke blows out my nose that smells and tastes like Sprite. Weird, huh?
