We took a trip back to Mom's hometown of Iowa in late July and had so much fun staying at aunt Stephie and uncle Steve's house. Aunt Shelley picked us up on her way through from Georgia and away we went. I got to go on my first boat ride on grandpa Steve's big boat and we had a cookout one night. I ended up getting hand, foot, and mouth disease at daycare the day before we headed back and managed to share it with my cousins Amy and Grant. How is that for saying thank you for letting us stay with you? I may or may not have thrown my cousin Harper's shoe overboard, too... But nobody actually saw me do it, so I plead the fifth.
Mama and I traveled to Atlanta over the long Labor Day weekend to stay with aunt Shelley and uncle Matt. The weather was a bit nicer than the last time we visited, so we went to the pool and had fun in the sun. I also had corn on the cob for the first time and enjoyed loving on all of my doggie cousins. We watched fireworks one night - that was a first for me and I loved them.
We also took a trip to the Big Apple! I loved the airplane rides and the train rides. We went to The Children's Museum in Cherry Hill, Empire State Building - all the way to the top, Lady Liberty - I got to ride on a big boat, Ground Zero, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Chinatown, and had so much fun.
