Since Mama has been working the last couple of weekends and John got to go, but I didn't, she took an afternoon off to spend just with me! At first I was sad to leave John, but then I realized I had my Mama all to myself and we were going to do something fun! We went to the Railroad Museum. The man there knew all about trains and the old depot. My favorite part was in the back room where you could drive the model train
- it went in circles just like my Percy train at home. 
I really liked the table with all the toy trains - you could build trains and move the tracks around - there was even a tunnel to put them through. 
I would have stayed forever! Mama got me to leave with a promise of ice cream - here is a tip - all ice cream is vanilla - if I say I want ice cream, that doesn't mean chocolate or strawberry, just plain ole ice cream. It was such a pretty day we sat outside at Sonic to have our ice cream. 
It was a great time for me and Mama - I can't wait to do it again.

Inside was a John Deere frontend loader and dump truck as well as a new shirt and socks.
I helped John open his - he got a really soft lamb and new pajamas. 
It was a great surprise! Thank you Aunt Martha and Uncle Chet!
I am the happiest baby ever, even when I am sick I still smile and play. 
I like to watch my big brother - he makes me laugh. 
I go to Ms. Darcy's everyday and I enjoy being with all the kids. I weigh just over 14 pounds now and just keep growing. 
Life just keeps getting better - I have made the Turner Family complete!
I really liked stretching out and playing on Ms. Shannon's bed. 
It was a fun weekend, but I was glad to get back home with Daddy and Denny!
I was a good boy on the trip for Daddy. Once we got to Carlsbad I was busy, busy. I rode Grandpa's pedal tractor. 
We played guitar and shopped for plants to put in the garden. 
I checked out the baby chicks at the feed store (but I didn't want to touch them)! 
I even learned to cook french fries and helped do the dishes.
I like going to Grandma & Grandpa's house! It was lots of fun and I hope to go back soon!
I put a red pipe cleaner on mine to finish it off!
We also played games with green balloons. We had to put it between our knees and hop around the yard. 
I tried to put mine between my knees, but I ended up squatting instead - then I couldn't hop. This game was not for me. 
Then we got to run down and pop our balloons - I was good at that. We ate the rainbow cupcakes we had made at Ms. Darcy's for a special treat - they were yummy and way cool! 
We had layered in different color batter and then baked them up. It was a really fun party. 
I also liked having the big bed all to myself while everyone else was working. 
We have lots of pictures, but Mama forgot to get them from Grandma, so maybe we can post more later.
I even got to eat Dairy Queen ice cream - the best part was making Miss Shannon peal off the chocolate! Then Miss Kathy and I stole all the cars off the tables to play with. 
I was sad when I had to come home, but Daddy and I played the rest of the weekend while we waited for Mama and John to come home. I like getting to visit with all our 4-H friends!
Denny likes to read his to remember that he is the "Big" broghter. 
Just wait and see - when the Turner Boys put their heads together there won't be anything we can't do! ( I think Daddy and Uncle Jeff need shirts like this, too!)
Brother likes to put it on me - before you know it it will fit just right!
Soemday I hope to give John a ride in the wagon while I drive the tractor. Imagine how much work it would be to drive a tractor without Daddy's help!
I liked all the animals - we could get right up to the fences and talk to them!
We even lined up for a picture. I wanted to hold baby John, but someone else had to take the photo because Mama didn't trust me enough to back up to take it herself!
We aslo saw wolves, bears, elephants, crocodiles, birds, a sealion, prairie dogs and lots of others. In the end we stopped to pose on the elephant statue! Good luck getting a photo of six kids under four.
We did better of me by myself. I can't wait to go back to the zoo!
