Hot Summer Days

Today felt like the middle of summer because it was so hot and sunny. We were kind of bored, but I knew not to complain about that. Know why? Because then Tía would say, "Well, Kiki, I'm sure I can find something for you to do. There are lots of jobs that need done around here..." And pretty soon I'd be pulling weeds or something, and only Holly likes to do that.

So, I got out my new camera (thank you, Bolton girls!) and looked for some photo ops. I found Traveling Sophie and Luci hanging out on the back fence.


Kiki: "Hey, guys! What's up?"


Sophie: "Not much! Just watching the tractor plow the field."


Kiki: "Can I take some pics of you."
Luci: "As long as there is purple in the photo."
Kiki: "OK... that's a little odd, but I have an idea."

Here's what we came up with:




What do you do on hot summer days? I need some ideas because it's already here!

Kiki Looks for Spring

Hi guys! It's Kiki! And that is just plain "Kiki", not "Kooky Kiki" like Mia calls me sometimes. I don't mind cause I know she loves my kooky sense of humor. But anyway... I went on a hike to look for signs of spring. I followed a long, winding trail into the dark forest...



OK, we don't have much of a forest around here, but there is a bubbling creek that is known to be haunted by a weeping woman...


OK, maybe it's not haunted, but I did see a pair of mallard ducks. In fact all the ducks were in pairs and I bet they have a nest nearby and will have ducklings soon!


Underneath the old fall leaves are shoots of green grass coming up. Yay!


And then look what I found!


Forget about spring. I KNOW there is something very interesting and mysterious living inside that hollow log. It is huge and very dark inside. Maybe I can come back with Mia and Eva and a flashlight to explore it's secret depths. I think I need backup to go into a deep log in a dark forest next to a haunted creek! ;)

Laters Gators! Kiki

Kiki's Turn!

Remember when we said we would have to share this blog with some of our sisters? Well, we have a really cool sis named Kiki. You may have seen her in some other photos. She's lived here a long time and is one of our favorite sisters because she is so creative. She's always making up fun stories and singing silly songs to herself. She loves to tease us with silly rhymes she makes up. So watch for some blogs from Kiki!
