My Daddy's Day

Father's Day was pretty special this year. My Grandpa was in for the weekend, so both Mommy and I had our Daddy's there. On Sunday, Mommy, Nana and I took Daddy and Grandpa to Pappadeaux's Seafood Kitchen for a big, big lunch. And I was excited to go. At first, we had to wait for a table, so I played in the fountain on the patio and got all soaking wet. I had a ball, but Mommy wasn't too thrilled about it. I especially liked dunking my toy in the water and counting all the goldfish! When it was time to go in, I headed right for the lobster tank. Boy, those guys sure were ugly! At lunch, I got to eat all kinds of food I'd never tried before. Some I liked and some I didn't. Hey, I'm a kid. I have a delicate palette. What do you expect? But we had a wonderful time eating and watching all the people go by. I thought it was expecially fun because we had lots of family there. And I was on my best behavior, too... just for my Daddy on Father's Day. I love you Daddy and Grandpa! I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did!

The Case Of The Missing Leg

The other day, me, Mommy and Daddy were shopping at our neighborhood Kohl's store. Mommy was off looking at something, so Daddy was watching me. Needless to say, I was running around the store like a monkey on the loose, when I came upon a couple of interesting little girls. They weren't doing much, just standing there kind of frozen. But they were taller than me and had on a these really neat tennis shoes. So, like the two-year-old I am, I went up to one of the stiff girls and tugged on her leg to try and get her shoe off. And to my surprise, her leg came right off in my arms! I didn't know what to do. I was just standing there holding this girl's leg, wondering what I should do next. About that time, my daddy rounded the corner, saw me and started busting out laughing. So that made me laugh, too. He then told me to go and show my mommy what I had done. When I found her, I held out the leg to her and she started laughing, also. So there we were, the three of us in the middle of Kohl's children's department, me holding a mannequin's leg, all laughing until our tummies ached... and Mommy almost peed her pants. I never knew how much fun pulling someone's leg could be!

Memories of Memorial Day

Well, finally I took my very FIRST trip to the beach. And boy, was it fun! Daddy's friend, Mark, and his wife, Lori, invited us all to their beach house in Galveston for Memorial Day weekend. I'd never been on a long car ride before, so I was a little nervous, but Mommy and Daddy were smart. They bought me a DVD player so I could watch all my favorites — Little Einsteins, Elmo and Princess Stories — right there in the car! It was a 6-hour drive, but it was all a blur because I was having so much fun. I didn't even sleep once!

The very first thing we did was go for a boat ride. I put on a lifejacket and off we went. It was terrrrrrific! We went really slow at first, looking at all the houses on the canal — and there are some big ones! Then, we went "Allegro", as the Little Einsteins would say. Daddy helped me pat my knees just like the Little Einsteins do when they want to go really fast. Then we raised our arms above our heads and yelled "Blastoff!" And Mark made the boat take off like a rocket. We went super-fast across the ocean in the bay area and I loved every minute of it.

Then, the next day, it was off to the beach. Yippee! I put on my bikini, got all lathered up in sunscreen and hit the waves. I had so much fun, I didn't know what to do. I kept running into the waves and back out. In and out. In and out. I just couldn't stop! Lori had bought me a pale, so I played in the sand, collected shells and just sat and let the waves wash up over me. I think it was the best time I've had in my whole life.








While I was off having all that fun, Mark, Lori and Annie (the dog), were just chilling, watching the ocean. Mommy thought this was such a cool site, she just HAD to get a picture. Thank you Mark and Lori for a wonderful Memorial Day. I hope I get to come back soon!
