Last hurrah
Hoffman's Playland is closing down at the end of the season* so I went for a final evening of fun with my friends Alex and Gabby.
* A furniture company bought the playland equipment and is moving the amusement park to downtown Albany

Fun day
Dad and I had the day off today and he surprised me with a visit to an entertainment center to play some games, lunch at the delicatessen, some exercise at the playground, and a frozen yogurt treat. This day was pretty sweet!

Cape Cod Summer - part 2
What a fun trip to Cape Cod! I went on a Mass Audubon aquatic exploration cruise out of Hyannis and got to see some cool ocean critters. I held a dogfish and even caught 3 fish (2 porgy and a sea bass). I also went on a horseshoe crab walk and learned how to find them buried in the sand and how to dig them out. Dad and I dug a huge hole in the sand and built walls and buildings around it. Then we walked a half-mile out into the ocean at low tide. We checked out some cool exhibits about sharks and saw what the inside of the nation's only human-occupied deep-sea research submersible, Alvin, looks like at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Track day
Aunt Jill invited us to the Saratoga Racetrack today. We got to sit in the clubhouse, go into the paddock and check out the horses up close. Oh, and there was ice cream. Aunt Jill further corrupted me by teaching me how to place bets on the screen.
