Summer daze

We hit the Rocky Run Park first thing on Saturday morning. I love it but Mum is a bit scared when I am 4-5 m off the ground with nothing but netting underneath me.

 

 

Then it was off to the zoo. We saw the Pandas for the first time (every other time we've been they've been hiding) and walked through some parts we'd never visited before where there were some cool crocodilians and seals.

The best part of the day was having ice-cream for lunch on our way home. Though playing with Daddy's new folding pool table was also pretty good.

Today I had a haircut - it was not fun and I do not like it (I think it is too short)

Daddy says it has aged me 2 years

What do you think?

I have also been bonding with Mummy over They Might Be Giants and their cool family podcasts. I am particularly fond of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geTSBFb_GR4

slight change of plans

We were going to go to North Carolina for the Independence Day weekend - but Hurricane Arthur beat us to it

Instead we did the National Parade and Fireworks on the fourth. I was particularly excited by the soldiers and the Chinese Dragon

I also like the fireworks on Friday night. (and being carried most of the way home by Daddy)

Sunday was shark tooth hunting time and Monday was relaxing (I didn't get out of my pjs until after 3pm)

All in all feeling very independent!

Every heart rings true for the red and the blue!

Had a lovely week in St Martin/St Maarten with mummy, daddy, Alex and my new best friend, Nadia

It was so nice swimming in the ocean and a few times we saw the fish swimming around our feet

We also went to Anguilla which was so tiring I fell asleep on Nadia's shoulder on the ferry ride back!

I danced with mummy in a Cuban bar and collected some cool shells

We explored forts on the French and Dutch side

The best thing was the animals we saw - iguanas; donkeys; cows; goats and not too many bugs

wild horses

This weekend I went camping for the first time

We went to Assateague Island where the wild horses roam

It was a bit overcast when we arrived but it meant setting up the tent wasn't too hot

I saw horses (and lots of horse poo); birds; and found lots of seashells

We had amazing homemade ice-cream for lunch on the way home

I'm keen to go camping at the beach again soon but I'll have to settle for staying in an apartment in the Caribbean next week.

Happy (American) Fathers' Day!

Graduation day..was good

I liked graduation day
The best bit was saying the Kindergarten poem
I was Ronald Reagan in the President's Parade
It was nice seeing mummy and daddy in the audience
I was a bit nervous but I remembered all my lines

Proud mummy

This is me as Ronald Wilson Reagan with George Washington (aka Elanur)

We traversed the Garden State this weekend from the green farms surrounding the Cowtown Rodeo, down to the shore to Atlantic City.

Highlights were:
cheering for the little cows that got away from the cowboys trying to lasso them
handing over some cotton candy to the Rodeo Clown and getting a promotional shirt in return
playing in the Atlantic Ocean and trying out my new hat and dinosaur swimmers
walking through an elephant!

The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy still litter the beach

Can you see me? I'm standing on Lucy's toe
