After we took Oreo to the vet this morning, Mom and I spent the rest of the morning just the two of us. One of our first stops was to go to the park, but when we pulled up Mom was uncomfortable. The park was empty because it was so early in the morning. There was a man sitting in a truck right by the play ground. He had tatoos all over his arm. Mom said he gave her the willies, so we went to Burger King for breakfast instead of getting out of the car there at the park. Mmmm. I had cinnamon mini buns, strawberry applesauce, and milk. Mom said that she was glad that they had milk because that was an awful lot of sugar for a breakfast meal.

After I finished, Mom took me out to the Burger King playground.

The playground was nice, but not as nice as the park. Mom said that she figured that the park would be getting busy by now and that the man would be long gone. Sure enough she was right. There were not any kids at the playground section, but there were a lot of ladies walking around the perimeter and there were various park employees out and about, so mom said that we could stay. Yay!

Mom kept talking about how pretty the trees are this year. She said that in all the years that we have lived here that the falls have been so brown. This year there are lots of golds and some reds.

After the park, Mom and I went to the thrift shop to see if they had some good picture books. We will be reading lots tonight. Here are the books we found: An Elephant's Trunk; a Sesame Street book; Knights and Armor (A Dover Coloring Book); Bob's Birthday (a Bob the Builder Book); Don't Pollute (a Berentstain Bears book); I wish I had a Dinosaur; and Alistair in Outer Space (Gregory has read this one to me already this morning because he remembered loving this one when he was little from Reading Raindow. Mom said that this was a great place to get books. We got all of these plus a plastic toy Nerf gun all for only eighty-five cents.

I like Mom and Me days! I can't wait for the next one.
