More cookies

Okay, you all know how much I dig cookies these days. But I did not know that there were cookies that you decorated with tasty sugary frosting!
See how much fun we are having? And when my parents aren't looking I'm busy trying to sneak cookies (hee hee!).

Forecast: Cold and Snowy

Don't worry folks. We aren't experiencing any weird winter weather here in California. Actually it's quite nice these days. But I hear they had the first bit of snow in Boston today. I decided to make sure that my winter gear was all in order for our visit next month.
Last year's coat and hat still fit just fine (my mom is thrilled about that).
I did need a new pair of winter boots though. We found a pretty decent pair at Target today. Now I'm ready for snowman weather!!

Cookie Monster

My Grandma Mary came into town the other day. And guess what that means... COOKIES!!! Yes, first thing in the morning I helped her bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies. They were AWESOME!
As you can see, I patiently waited while the cookies baked. I hear that good things come to those kids who wait.

So Much To Discover

This morning my mom took me to the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. This place was pretty cool. It was almost too much fun for one little kid. There was a big firetruck to climb on, an ambulance, a stagecoach, a whole room of water fountains, bubbles, and the very special "Clifford The Big Red Dog" exhibit which was AWESOME! Look at the pictures to see all the fun I had!

"ET phone home"

Well, "Robby iChat/Skype with London" is more accurate, but I hear that E.T. was one of Aunt Whitney's favorite movies as a kid so I had to use the film reference. In case you can't see, it's Aunt Whitney that I'm chatting with. See you soon Aunt Whit!!

Choo-choo addicts anonymous

No we aren't changing the title of this site to "Robby's train blog." But we are starting to wonder if there is a 12 step program available...


And no, that isn't Yoda helping Robby out. It's one of our favorite children's books characters Skippyjon Jones (the Siamese cat who thinks he's a Chihuahua superhero). Check the books out sometime. We think they are hilarious.

Naughty or nice?

I had a little discussion with Santa this weekend and I think he agrees that I register on the "nice" end of the behavior spectrum.

Practicing a new hobby

While dad checks out a new set of irons for himself, I'll brush up on my putting skills.

More trains

Today was my dad's birthday. Happy Birthday Daddy! Can you believe that as a special treat he decided we should go visit Roaring Camp to go on a special train ride? Honest, it was his idea and there was no influence from me. We got there a little early but there was plenty of cool stuff to check out. The train ride went up a mountain through a Redwood grove and we saw some pretty big trees. And there was a old burned trestle, switchbacks, all sorts of cool stuff! I think dad had a pretty good time. And me? Of course I enjoyed myself.

A day on the train

Today was very exciting. I got to go on my first real train ride! Not the T like in Boston, or a Cable Car, but a REAL TRAIN!! Do I look a little excited?
The trip lasted about 45 minutes and I enjoyed every second. We got off in a town called Burlingame and shopped around a bit. We also stopped to have lunch and I had a delicious quesadilla.
Soon enough it was time to wait for the train to take us back home. Here I am waiting ever so patiently.
What could possibly be better than reading "Thomas the Tank Engine" on a real train? This is the best!
Bye, bye train! Thanks for the trip. I had so much fun and I can't wait until next time (hint hint).
