Just hanging out being the sheriff.

On the way back we had to stop at a level crossing. A train full of coal came passed, it went on for ages. It was so long it took more than 15 minutes to pass. When it started we couldn't see the end of it.

We had to stop to get petrol. They call it gas here. There was a cool picture of a Porsche on the petrol pump.

We found a massive Dune called Mt Baldy. We climbed all the way to the top. The top of a mountain is called a summit. I was a bit disapointed that it was too easy to get to the top. But Mum and Dad wouldn't let me go 'off road', I had to stay on the path.

The Dunes were brilliant. Me and Abe had a lot of fun.

Dad liked this big water park that was for sale, but we didn't buy it.

We went to the Indiana Dunes in the car. Indiana is another State. We went on a massive freeway and drove passed loads of factories and chimneys. I really liked this big metal bridge.

Being 5 is quite good. Thanks to everyone in London for all my presents. I missed you all.

I had a good day, we all went in the car to a restaurant called Maggiano's for dinner. Mum made me a Rocket cake witha number 5 candle and everyone sang Happy Birthday.

And Grandma Bb and Grandpa Ron came all the way to see me. Yeahhhhh!

I got loads of cool presents.

It was my Birthday. I am now 5. Mum made me a great card.

Grandpa Vic sent us some cool racing t-shirts. They have the track from 'Spa Francorchamps' on. Abe still can't do thumbs up.

All our stuff arrived on the ship from England. Dad had to go to Ikea and buy loads of shelves. Dad hates Ikea, but it's really good to have all our toys here at last.
