I took a special trip to the Roger Williams Zoo to celebrate my birthday this weekend. We are dragging out the birthday celebration as long as possible this year. My friends Alex, Zach, Max and all of their mommies, daddies and little brothers (where applicable) came along with me. We had a great time running around and looking at all the animals.
I just got home from an awesome week on Cape Cod. I had a blast and I can't wait to go back next year.
Wow, this car is pretty full. How long are we going to be gone?
I spent a lot of time collecting rocks on the beach. My favorite ones are the white ones that look like snowballs.
I built my first sandcastle with some help from Daddy.
This wagon is pretty heavy. A little help, maybe?
Daddy and I searched for hermit crabs on the beach. I caught six. I named them Alex, Zachy, Leah, PJ, Max and Ben. Then I saw a really big crab and decided his name was Mr. Dave. Mr. Dave buried himself in the sand before we could get him.
More beach fun.
I really liked the outdoor shower at the Cape house. It was the best part of the end of the day.
Lighthouses are my new obsession. I got to go up inside this red and white one. See the window at the top? I waved to Mommy from that window as she tried not to faint. The white lighthouse was closed so we could only see it from the outside.
Enjoying my fish 'n' chips at the Lobster Shanty. I also tried some mussels here and thought they were really good.
The Chatham Railroad Museum is the coolest place on the Cape. They have a renovated caboose out in back that I could play in. I could have spent the whole day here if given the opportunity. Mommy and Daddy lured me away with the promise of more lighthouses.
This windmill was on the little town common. I got to go inside the windmill and climb up to the top (do you see a theme developing?) It was really cool to be up so high. Afterwards, I ran around because that is what I do.
1. I am a backseat driver. I tell Mommy to "Slow down!" even if we are still sitting in the driveway and she has not even taken her foot off the brake. 2. I prefer broccoli to most other foods. 3. I like to sort our recycling bins. I find it relaxing. 4. If I had my way, I would accompany everyone to the bathroom. I like to be involved, I just don't like to use the potty myself. 5. I call garden gnomes "boppies" and I think they are scary.
My new favorite song is "Take me out to the ballgame". I sing it all the time but this is the best video Mommy could manage. I have inexplicably added the words "a train cake" to the end of the song.
We went to see the Pawtucket Red Sox today. It was a great day. I had tons of fun. Daddy and I made up the "baseball dance" which consists of jumping up and down and saying "Yay! Baseball!" I did that a lot today. I got a hot dog AND french fries for lunch and I was very excited to meet Paws the polar bear. I even got a T-shirt and a little Paws bear to bring home with me. It was so much excitement, I crashed as soon as I hit my carseat.
I have recently become very protective (or is it possessive?) of my little brother. Whenever anyone gets near Sam, I tell them "Hey, that's MY baby!" They always back off because I am very serious.
