There's No Place Like Home

Finally home again after my Tour De South.  Got in at 2:30 in the morning!  Needless to say, I made up for lack of sleep today.  I had fun at Gramma and Grampa's house.  We went to a city park and saw a detention center for wayward swans.  No I'm serious...there were dozens of good, well-behaved swans and ducks swimming and waddling around everywhere, but then this one area at the very back of the park had chain-length fence and those prison pod thingys, and it had maybe 20 swans in there.  What else could it be but swan prison? 

I also met an incredibly ugly creature with a rounded, hard back that mommy calls a "turtle".  The picture with the ugly weird thing staring up that's really creepy?  Yeah that's a turtle.  They're not so bad when they aren't maliciously eyeing you.  And I saw other animals I'd seen before, like squirrels, duckies, and butterflies.

 

I'm thinking I've had enough of travelling for a while...I mean mommy and daddy don't have to be strapped into a chair facing backwards where you can't even sit up or put your feet in your mouth, so why should I?  By the way, if you ever see a very large goose with it's wings completely spread out quickly waddling towards you...RUN.  Run as fast and as far as you can.  Just a word of advice...
