I'm a fire fighter!

Last Saturday, while Mom and Dad were at a friend's wedding (and celebrating their 5th anniversary and Dad's 40th birthday - he's old), I went to the Volunteer Firemen's Hall and Museum in Kingston with G'ma and G'pa M. I saw some cool old fire engines and I even got to sit on one and ring the bell! I had a fun time visiting. We also did something that Dad called "hunkering down" all day on Sunday during the wind and rain of hurricane/tropical storm Irene.

Pond

I helped clean the leaves out of Grandma L's fish pond and we fed the fish and saw a little frog hopping around. 

Like my Hog?

Check out the Harley that I got from Uncle Mike and Aunt Sheila! I'm so close to being able to reach the pedals when they're farthest away. And when I can, there will be no stopping me! But for now, I'll take a little push down the road while I press the buttons to enjoy all of the motorcycle sounds. In fact, I might need to remove the baffles or get some new pipes to make this thing even louder.

Cape Cod!

Well, Cape Cod was so much fun last time, we decided to do it again this year. Once again we stayed with our friends Ken and Tom in Brewster, MA. They're super nice and I'm glad they let us visit. There's a hammock at the house and a big rocking swing and a shed with extra beach toys.

The first day there was rainy, so Mom and Dad took me to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History (also in Brewster). They have lots of fun activities there, a library and a a nice little aquarium. Since it was gray and cloudy on morning number two, we went to the Cape Cod Inflatable Park in South Dennis. All I can say is, wow. There were more inflatable rides there than I've ever seen. I could run, jump, bounce, climb and slide on so much stuff. Even Dad got on/in some of the rides with me! It was all very exciting. Later that day, we all went to Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, where I got to dig in the sand and collect lots and lots of rocks that were all over the beach.

The following day was warm and sunny. Mom and Dad brought me to Skaket Beach in Orleans. It was very busy and crowded there, but I had lots of fun. Ken let me borrow a net and I tried to catch some fish with it. Then I played in the sand with Dad. On our last day on the Cape, we took a drive into Sandwich to have lunch and ice cream, then it was back to the house, where I rested in the hammock and made bubbles in the backyard.

I can't wait to go back. Here are some pictures of the fun I had in Cape Cod, and a link to even more photos on Dad's flickr page.

This is good corn.

Swimming weekend

This past weekend I went to Kingston to visit with G'ma and G'pa M. First we went to Daddy's friend Rob's house. He had friends over to visit with another one of Dad's friends, Mark (and family), who were up from South Carolina. The Schechter's were there, and the Clark's. Maddy Dudek drew a picture of me and we all went swimming in the pool. I borrowed a life vest, and along with my swimmies, could float and swim all by myself. The next day, Grandma gave me my very own life vest and brought me to her pool. I stayed in the pool and swam for a reaallllly long time. I even went to the deep end of the pool! After swimming, Dad showed me a game called shuffleboard. I gave it a try, but I think I need to be bigger to play. I can't wait to get in the water again.
