Willie with Bambi at Stoney Creek, MI. We were looking for Bambi's mother.
Willie climbing another tree @ Stoney Creek, MI
And getting stuck in said tree. Thankfully Willie is not that big so he doesn't have to dlimb very much to seem high off the ground. Easier for me to rescue him/
Playing in the water at Stoney Creek, MI.
He just had to dip his feet in to cool off.
If you look in DJ's right pocky you see a Willie hanging out. He decided he wanted to go out on the lane.
Had to take this pic. Don't the bowling balls look like a bigger Willie? The Blue one is even looking at me.
I think Willie was messin with the score cause DJ won.
Cosmic Willie!
Willie, Lil Miss and a stuffed lamb (I think it's name is Lamby) outside National Coney Island in MI.
Willie beat Lil Miss in tic-tac-toe on her coloring menu.
So she decided to eat him. He is bun sized after all!
Willie, Lill Miss and Shecky on the way to Pennsylvania.
Willie, Lil Miss and Shecky outside of a Hardee's on the way to Pennsylvania. (None of them had had Hardee's before. We HAD to stop. Now I have a Hardee's right down the street! Yay, Hot ham 'n cheese!)
Willie and Shecky being forced to hug it out after arguing over who gets the last season fri.
Shecky. Really her name is McKayla, but she's adopted so her name got changed. (Shecky is what it says on her tag.) Shecky is Lil Miss's traveling companion so she keeps Willie company when Lil Miss goes places with me.
Driving through Atlanta. Even Willie was having anxiety since there are 7 lanes of traffic and not one person who knows how to drive.
You can't see Willie shivering while ppl cut each other off. YAY Atlanta!
Looking at the awsome Oak trees while driving through Georgia.
It just took a bit of antenna pulling to calm Willie down in the traffic.
He's actually sleeping cause he got bored. He said something about GA all looking the same.
Willie, walkin the grounds at Aunt Mary's.
You can even see him at night. Thank Goddess, cause it was pitch BLACK out!
As much as Willie likes to play in water, he also likes to climb trees. He decided to climb Aunt Mary's "tree."
Wearing the sun hat Aunt Mary gave him.
Willie decided to steal my breakfast.
How could you do anything but share when looking into that face?
This is what a Wet Willie looks like.
Willie decided to get wet himself.
Lil Miss took him out for a swim. Oh look! Now Lil Miss has a Wet Willie!
Willie, taking a walk in the sand on the beach in FL.
Willie, buildin a sand castle. See the stick? That's his castle's flag. Every castle needs a flag. Duh!
Layin' out. Gettin' a tan. (Or melting. Come to your own conclutions.)
He LOVES to play in the water, but in FL the waves are so strong they can wash him out to sea. I had to hold onto him.
Since he's a freak (and likes it) I held onto his antenna for him.
DJ and Willie snuck a pic together while I was sleeping. Aren't they just the cutest? (Ok, Lil Miss is the cutest, but they run a close second.)
Willie in the hot tub. Apparently Willies get all glowy in hot tubs.
There is actually a Willie in this palm tree.
There he is! He LOVES to climb trees. He was actually REAL happy because this tree was at the beach so he got to climb it AND play in water!
Willie outside the hotel room in Chicago
Willie at Giordano's. He LOVES the shrimo stuffed pizza. And the green, spinach stuffed raviolis.
Willie really liked the trolly car. Maybe one day I'll take him for a ride on one.
Willie, enjoying the view of Chicago from the perfect seat.
Willie, letting Chicago pass him by. (With a smile on his face.)
Some of you already know Willie the Wiggler from my Facebook page. For those of you who don't know, that's him there on the left. Willie is my traveling companion. I get very bad anxiety while driving and Willie helps me deal with that. I rescued Willie from a box of novelty toys at 7-11 when he turned those big bulging eyes my way. (Ok, it was a little mare like Lil Miss saw him and WE had to get him.) At first I didn't have any idea what I was going to do with Willie. I set him in my car for the ride home, and it turns out, he helps greatly with my driving anxiety. How?
By letting me pull his antenna. But only the left one. He likes it. I suspect that Willie is a bit of a masochist. (Don't judge.) Willie has (unexpectedly) gained somewhat of a following on Facebook and I have been asked, on more than one occasion, to make Willie his own website. (Personally I think this is due to the fact that I post more pics of him than any of the other "Wierd Things." This is because he is my traveling companion, where none of the others are. Willie has many adventures with me and we have had lots of fun together. Often when Willie is brought into a room a cry of "WILLIE!" can be heard from somewhere.
While Traveling through Tennessee, (and a squeeling freek-out that left a cashier looking at me strangely) I found Willie's son, Winky. This is not the best pick of him, but I just wanted to give a general idea of how big Winky is. (For better pics of Winky, see his section. This is Willie's section dammit!)
Now, thanks to my need to stop at a gas station in the middle of the night and finding Winky, Willie became a single parent. So what do Wigglers do if they are single parents, but spend a lot of time on the road? They find mommies!!!
So Willie (Ok I) found and rescued Wilma from the same box at 7-11 that Willie was found in. (I suspect that they may have been trying to get rid of the freaky Wigglers because Wilma likes getting her antenna pulled too!) It was a match made in heaven. Ok, really it was a match made in my car. Or more like a trio made in my car, but they are all a happy family of Wigglers.
