togedder time

my mommy sed to me this morning, "hey Percy, let us go on a venture".  I sed "yes, let us do".  So, she putted on my collar with my Whistle on it so we cud track how far we walk.  My Whistle telled us that we are starting our hike right here.

mommy sed  that we were going to hike up to a lake that might has ice instead of water.  I wuzzed confused becuzzed I has never heared of such a ting.  

I pulled and runned all the way to see the lake with ice.  we hiked up a long hill. I ruv to eat ice so I wuz cited to see all the ice cubes in the lake.  but when we gitted there this is whut I saw!  

It wuzzed not ice cubes, but a big ole ice skating rink!!  and I watched sum fish swimming under the ice and water.  canz you see the fish in the water?  thin we got to a very frozed up part of the lake and mommy taked my leash off and telled me to go try it out.  

I tried to eat sum of the ice but I cud not bite into it, so I jest licked it.  thin I got all crazied up and decided to roll and roll and roll!  it felt nice and cold after the long hot hike.  

do you see how happy my face wuz?  I ruv the frozen lake.  it is almost as fun as a water lake.  but I don't tink we cud take our boat on the ice lake.  thin I had a liddle photo shoot cuz I am so cute.

I canz luk very regal sumtimes.  but thin the next second I luk like dis-----

thin I made a sweet innocent face.  mommy sed that wud not fool innyone cuz I em not innocent.

does this innocent face fool you?  I tink I luk sad.  so thin I maked a happy face agin!

I jumped on a ginormus rock so I cud see the whole frozen lake.  I taked a gud luk.

canz you believe that I jumped up on this big rock.  mommy jest shaked her head...  but thin she sed "oh no Percy, how will you git down"?  so, I showed her.  I crawled right on down.  I jest tended I wuzzed a mountain goat.  I tink I mite be half mountain goat, maybe my grandpaw was a goaty.

on our hike back down I pulled so hard that mommy gitted a liddle bit mad at me.  she telled me that if I did not stop pulling she might give me a liddle paddling.  I knew she wud never paddle me, so I did not stop pulling.  

here is whut my Whistle sed I did today.

that is a lot of miles!  I ruv how it tells me  nice work.  but spending time hiking with my mommy is never work to me.  it is fun fun fun.  mommy sez that we do has sum work to do-learning me not to pull pull pull.  that does not sound like fun fun fun.  oh, and on our drive home we saw this guy!

it sure wuz a nice day to spend time togedder.
