In the summertime, when the weather is high, you can reach right up and touch the sky. So we had a drink and a drive, and this is what we found . . .

that Mama's Annabelles are bigger than our heads

that Mama will let you photograph her in her bathing suit if she's had a beer

that Monster Jam on the beach is just as fun as last summer

that our cousin Nolie is the funnest bobsled partner ever

that cousin Izzy is cuddly and knows everything there is to know about Monster Pet Shop

that lobsters live in the lake, but they're teensy weensy

and that baby minnows will nibble you if you hold really super duper still
