The Beach

August 16, 2008

Even though I am almost 2 and half years old and live near the coast Mommy and Daddy have never taken me to the beach! I've seen the ocean before, but it was in the winter and from a board walk.

Because GrandMom and Pops were visiting us and they wanted to see the Atlantic Ocean before their trip to visit the Pacific Ocean we went to Orchard Beach. It was a whole 20 minutes from my house. I hope Mommy and Daddy feel guilty for not taking me before! (OK it actually is on the Long Island Sound and not the Atlantic Ocean but it does have waves and sand!)

As you can see in the pictures I had a lot of fun at the beach. I liked playing in the water with Mommy and Daddy. We did "jump, jump" and I also balanced on one leg while standing in the water.

The sand felt different than the sandbox at the pool, but I soon discovered how much fun it was. Daddy couldn't believe how much sand was in my diaper at the end of the day.

I had a lot of fun. I hope Mommy and Daddy take me back to the beach.

A weekend with GrandMom and Pops

August 14- 17, 2008

I had a great weekend with GrandMom and Pops. They came on Thursday night before they began their trip out west!

On Friday we took it pretty easy but I did take them to Stew Leonard's. I showed them the animals there as well as my favorite part---the ice cream!

On Saturday we went to the Beach-see more in another posting. Saturday night I stayed with GrandMom and Pops while Mommy and Daddy went out for dinner.

I had a lot of fun this weekend. GrandMom and I read several books together, Pops and I built towers and other things. Pops and I also went on a bear hunt. I also showed off how good I have become at riding my bike. I'm glad my grandparents were able to come and visit.

A weekend in the country

August 7, 2008






Last weekend I went to the Berkshires with my Mommy, my friend Max and his Mommy and Daddy. Max's GP has a house near Great Barrington, MA. The whole weekend was fun. I had been a year ago and it was neat to do all sorts of things that I could not do last year and to repeat some of last year's activities.






I was really excited when we got there Friday night and it took me a LONG time to fall asleep. On Saturday we got up and went to a free concert by David Grover and the Big Bear Band. They played one of my favorite songs, "The Shirt Song".








I was really tired by lunch on Saturday so I took a LONG nap. After my nap Max and I played outside for a while on his swing set. We then had dinner. We had some great corn on the cob. Mommy really enjoyed the pie for desert.


On Sunday morning we had yummy pancakes that Max's Mommy made for us. We also went swimming in the pool. After we went swimming we got to run in the sprinkler and then we got to run around naked! It was so much fun. Mommy even found the pictures from last year when we did the same thing. We've grown a lot!

After lunch we then came back home. Of course we went shopping at Stew Leonard's where Daddy met us.

I had a great time in the country. Thank you Max for inviting me!
