The backpack vehicle

Jeffery riding around Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri

Jeffery likes to ride in the backpack when we go some place fun so he is not left in the car. Being left in the car makes in lonely and he feels left out. In the summer, it is too hot and starts to sweat. No one likes a sweaty elephant. In the winter, it is too cold he starts to shiver and it really hard for him to hold still.

I came up with the idea for Jeffery to ride in the backpack because he doesn't like to walk for a few good reasons. First, he is embarrassed because just he is the only elephant walking with a boy. Second, he is short and he wouldn't be seen by me if he walked he could get lost or stepped on. Next, his legs are so short compared to mine, that he could never keep up and he get tired.

Jeffery sticks his head out of the back of the pack looking out to see what is going on. He also doesn't like sitting in the dark.

Exercise for Jeffrey

Jeffrey likes to exercise and sweat. Notice his need for a head sweatband. He has been exercising a lot to burn off the calories from his little late night peanut snacks. He has been riding bike along the bike trail that use to be a railroad track. He has been walking up the road to the neighbors which is one mile round walk, half mile there, half mile back. When he gets to the neighbors mailbox Jeffery slaps it with his trunk, turns around and comes back home.

Elephant joke

What do you do if you get eaten by an elephant?

Run around until you get all pooped out!

Well, here I am

Well, this is me. Maybe some of you didn't expect that this is what I would look like. The bunny with me is Scott.

There goes a duck

Jeffery got the binoculars for looking at ducks. He loves looking at ducks because they are so funny. He climbed up to the top of the playset and got a bucket, tied a string to the bucket, climbed back down, carefully put the binoculars in the bucket, climbed back up the playset and pulled up the bucket with the string.
