Welcome to the Jungle, Baby!

That's right, today B-mo and I went back into our native habitat and did some "jungle fever" action! What's that? Er, Brian said maybe I shouldn't use that exact term....whatever. We were exploring the garden...um....jungle, I mean.

I know these hats aren't really "jungle-ready", but I seemed to have misplaced my Pith helmet. That's probably for the better, though, seeing as I can't go for 3 minutes with out giggling about the name. Man, it is really lush and green in here...steamy too! B-man said that we must be spoiled with the air-conditioning, and I think he's right! Everything is very beautiful though. Let's see if we can find a banana bush! Bush, tree, banana-vine, whatever the hell they grow on!

Bernardo took some time to smell the flowers. He is quite up on his botanical facts. He said that he believed the flower in this pic is a Day Lily. They don't have any particular smell. I gave one a sniff and promptly had a bug fly up my nose. Weak.

I think we found a banana tree. The bananas don't appear to be ripe yet, but that's OK...we likes em tangy! Bernardo is going to try and snag a couple for us.

Whew! Apparently B-mo isn't as knowledgeable as I thought. He took a big bite of "banana" and I thought he was going to explode....smoke was coming out his ears! Seems that it was some kind of hot pepper! I tried to be helpful and farted on him, but he was NOT very appreciative, so I left in a huff and pouted for a bit.

Hey, look at me! I'm a hippy! Bernardo forgave me and we explored even more. I found this sweet flower and put it in my hat. He said that I look like Minnie Pearl, but I don't know who that is. She must have a bitchin' hat though!

Then I farted.

It was a fun adventure, but we are tuckered out...man, the jungle is HOT. We're heading inside to catch our suds 'n' bubbles and perhaps a short nap. Gotta be ready for tonight...there's an Iron Chef marathon on!

Till then, remember kids:

mmmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy.

Playing in the garden

We decided to go for a stroll in the garden this evening. Well, Jen was a little too involved in the Olympics Swimming Trials and we needed to get out of her way. I have never seen her get excited about or even watch any sports, so it was defiantly a new experience for us.While out in the garden, we took some photos of some of the flowers that were growing. We don't know the names of all of the flowers, but we do know they are pretty and smell good too. This one is a sunflower, it was very cool!
By the way, the reason all of these are close ups is because we are only 12" tall. Be nice, we are monkeys!
This one was hard to capture. The wind picked up, but we got it. Maybe we should think about becoming professional photographers.
Nah, that would interfere with our adventures. Stay tuned for part 2 in a minute.

Playing in the garden 2

As we were strolling along, we found this plant. Very cool. It looks like something from a Sci-Fi movie.
On this daisy, we found a bug, so we had to get a picture of it. We wanted documentation of the bugs that are attacking us every second we are out here. I hope there is something for itch relief in the house!
This is a Sweet Pea. Have you ever smelled the Sweet Pea lotion at Bath and Body Works? Smells the exact same.
This guy looks like baby's breath, but i don't think that's right. Either way, it was pretty.
Poppies, Poppies, Poppies, Poppies. Why do the words Existential Blues keep going through my head? Weird!
Well, we better get back in the house. Iron Chef is on soon, and you know how we like our Food Network shows. Hopefully Jen is done watching that swimming thing. We don't like seeing her that aggressive. That reminds me: Be aggressive, B-E aggressive, B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E, be aggressive, B-E aggressive. I think I just had a cheerleading flashback. Must have been one of those in a past life. Karma's a bitch. HHHhhhmmmmmm.
