Trifecta

3 things that made me happy today: my awesome Hawaiian shirt, my books, and Elmo!

Cape Cod.

I went to South Yarmouth in Cape Cod with Mom and Dad last week. We visited with "Aunt" Tory and Haley and Hellick. I played in the sand at the beach, played on the swings and the seahorse at the playground, rode the boogie-board in the ocean, and more. I can't wait to go back!

The Blackberry kid.

Mom and Dad took me to the Schenectady Farmers Market this morning. There was a 5-piece jazz band playing and lots of people buying fresh vegetables and fruits, breads, cheese, and other stuff. Dad bought cucumbers and garlic for his gazpacho recipe and some fresh mozzarella to add to his tomato salad. Mom asked the lady at the fruit stand if I could try a blackberry, since I'd never had one before. Guess what? I loved it. Then I proceeded to eat almost a half-pint of my new favorite fruit.

4-wheelin'

Like my new ride? Grandma & Pa L just couldn't wait to give me this battery-powered 4-wheeler to tear around the yard on. Don't let that look of concentration fool you – I'm having lots of fun. I could ride this thing all day.

Summer weekend fun.

No more fever, cold and cough. No more being sick, stuck in the house, watching the rain fall. This weekend was great! Pretty good weather and fun times! Mom and Dad took me to the Troy Waterfront Farmers' Market on Saturday morning, then we went to the Peerless Pool in Saratoga. On Sunday morning,we went to the Saratoga County Fair in Ballston Spa, where I saw goats and cows and horses. After that we had lunch and ice cream at Jumpin' Jack's in Scotia. It was so much fun!

Couch fort!

I built a fort with Dad today.

212 feet above the Hudson.

This past Saturday, I went to the "Walkway Over The Hudson." I walked over the former railroad bridge, saw a couple of boats and a few trains go by. Grandma pointed out the Mid-Hudson bridge to me. Mom took a photo of me, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa on the walkway.

Beans!

I've got green beans! Mom picked over a dozen from my plant on the patio today. Maybe I'll have some at dinner?

Red, White and Blue in the Green Mountain State.

Spent the 4th of July weekend in Shelburne, Vermont with "Aunt" Tory and her family. Met her folks, the Stones, and other brothers, sisters and extended family. Everyone was really nice and I had fun with the other kids. I also enjoyed my visit to the Shelburne Museum - the best part was riding on the carousel! I can't wait to do it again some time!

Happy 4th of July!
