Summer 2026

My Very Good Summer

This summer I did many official summer things. I rode a cool scooter, went to Crab Cove, tried fishing, picked strawberries, and found a vintage Beetle wearing grass and flowers. I did not know cars could wear plants, but this one did.

Summer Highlights

These are some of my favorite summer moments. They are sunny, splashy, tasty, and sometimes a little muddy.

Going shopping with a cool scooter

Cool Scooter

I went shopping with a scooter. Walking is fine, but scooting is more zoomy.

Crab Cove crab catching adventure

Crab Cove

I looked for crabs by the water. Crabs are small, sneaky, and excellent at hiding.

Summer fishing day

Fishing

Fishing needs patience. I brought my patience and also my strong fishing pose.

Picking strawberries in summer

Strawberry Picking

I picked strawberries. Some were for the basket. Some were for quality checking.

Flower Beetle Brunch

At brunch I met a car covered in grass and flowers. I smiled because this was a very funny car.

Soccer Practice

I practiced soccer harder so I can enjoy the FIFA World Cup vibe. My serious player face is ready.

Daily Logs

This is where my little day stories will live. Some days may have big adventures. Some days may only have one very funny sentence. Both are important.
