This one's for Pop.......

Today me and the kids went to have a picnic in the park on post with our friends. This park is known as Cottonwood Park, and later in the summer you will see why it is called that. (It is from all the Cotton wood trees there. All the cotton starts flying everywhere and it looks like it is snowing.) Anyway, Jacob has been writing stories for a little while now, but lately he has been acting them out as he tells them. Pop calls them cowboy stories. So, Jacob has also been into Pirates lately. BIG TIME!!! Ask Nana. Any way, at Cottonwood Park they have one part of the playground that looks like a pirate ship complete with the plank shown below. So I will try to recreate his story from today. And of course it is a pirate story!! Be weary me mateys.
So, Pirates had boats like this and planks too. They used to make people stand like this on the planks! (I wish you could see the facial expressions). And they would say, Arrrgh, Walk the plank!!

(I'm not so sure why they had to stand humpbacked. Maybe that is what they looked like.) But, I don't want to walk it says the guy. I don't care, keep walking, Arrrgh!

But, please, NOOOO, (yells, yells, yells). I didn't do it!!!

Splash!!! (More yells!)................The End.............I wish I could remember it word for word. But, this one was a short one. Oh, my friend spotted a momma bear and a baby bear at the park yesterday while she was walking. She said that she was pretty nervous, as I would be! But, no bear sightings today!
