I meant to post this video sooner, but I totally forgot! More pictures of Pig driving Route 66 in Oklahoma.
Let it Snow
Unfortunately, Pig, R. and Paula had to make a trip back to Iowa for a funeral mid-January. However, Pig had his first opportunity to check out snow!
While we were wandering around the rest area, we found a snow man:
All was well and good until the snowball tourney. Pig lost

R stepped in to save the day:
Pig Harvests
Pig has been very busy in the garden with more planting coming up this weekend (garlic and onions, the snout is useful).
Here he is in the middle of the bean patch.
And here is Pig is checking out the crook neck squash.
Pig Blooper
Trying to get Pig E Bank to swing adequately is a bit of a challenge. He falls out.

Flat Claire Comes to Visit
Paula’s niece sent a flat version of herself for Paula to take around Houston. Pig did his part and when they went over to Mrs. B’s, he took Flat Claire around and showed her around the garden.
Here Flat Claire and Pig are checking out the romaine lettuce.
Flat Claire, Pig and Paula get their pictures taken with the trellis of the Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans.

Getting ready to go
Pig’s Sister Nicole is getting ready to go home to Paula’s sister’s house back in Iowa. While it’s been fun having all of Pig’s brothers and sisters around, it will be nice to have one less slot to feed.
Here are the remaining Pigs sitting in Paula’s desk chair.
Pig and Penny Look at WildFlowers
Pig has been very busy as of late. A few weeks back he took Penny out to check out some of the Wildflowers that have popped up on the Texas Gulf Coast.
Here Penny and Pig are looking at a Wine Cup
And here they check out the primroses.
But they really enjoyed the BlueBonnets – Texas’ state flower.

A Friendly Game of Scrabble
One of the many activities that have occurred during the visit of Pig’s Family is the playing of board games. The most often played game is Parker Brother’s Scrabble
Simba looks on as everyone gets ready to play.
Simba carefully decides whether or not one of the pigs would make a good source of protein. However, as he has discovered before, plastic isn’t a good food source.
Everyone has their tiles and the game is about to commence.
The first word goes down.
The brothers confer on the next word on the board
And this team scores big with “wallows” and “this”. Lots of two letter words are made.
Pig and Nick decide what they are going to do next.
