On Sunday we drove down to Cape Cod because Mom had some board meetings for Cushing. We stayed at a nice hotel that had a fun playground and pool! Brit came down from Milton to hang out with me while Mom and Dad were busy with Cushing activities on Sunday night and most of Monday, and we had tons of fun together.

The view from Mom's meeting rooms... it was slightly distracting
On Tuesday I went on a seal watch with Dad and Gram and I got to see lots of "stinky whales!" After that, Dad and I hung out at the pool while we waited for Mom to finish her meetings.
Today we drove up north to Massachusetts and stopped at Auntie Martha's on the way. She was having a 90th birthday party for Great Nana, so we were happy we could help celebrate!!

Today Mom and I went out and got the Volvo inspected. While we were waiting, we walked over to Panera and had lunch outside.. it was super yummy!
We then went to Desserts Etc (a super yummy bakery in Hershey) to get some cupcakes for me to bring to some friends who are watching me tomorrow. Mom is going Delaware to a coaching seminar and Dad has to work. I convinced Mom to buy some for us, too... :)
Today Mom and I met Lucas and Angie at the park. I got to go on some rides with Lucas, which was fun! (from Mom: Until she had a major meltdown and we had to go home :)...)
These planes were fun - but Lucas and I didn't coordinate our steering...even the ride operator was laughing at us... (see video below)
I love the pool where I take my swimming lessons now. The water is warm and I can touch in parts of the pool. There is also a froggy slide. The froggy slide rocks; I wish I could do it every day!!! (I ask to do it every day and I tell Daddy that I did it every day, even though I only get to do it during swimming!) Dad's conference day was moved to Wednesday, so he was able to come this morning and take pictures!
Dad was still on overnights, so Mom and I had to find something to do on Sunday morning. There isn't a whole open on a Sunday morning in Central PA, so we went to Hershey Gardens. They have a children's garden with a butterfly house and a little Wind in the Willows garden. I wasn't too sure I liked the butterflies, though; I got worried when one landed on Mom. I got to smell some really pretty roses and also practiced my counting. I also got to drink from a bubbler for the first time! It was hot and I was grouchy so we didn't stay too long, but I had fun!
smelling the roses
I did well listening to Mom and not touching the flowers!
I thought that the fish were more interesting than the butterflies
some butterflies flew pretty close to me!
fun cow in the children's garden
I liked the pig more!

Here are some pics from one of our Sunday night Hersheypark trips. Sunday nights are great because there aren't too many people there, so I don't have to wait in too many lines!
I picked the blue truck this time!

Riding the little roller coaster with Dad -- it was fun!!
Dad worked 5 overnights in a row last week, so Mom and I would leave the house for the morning so Dad could sleep. One morning we went to the park. Even though it was hot out, I wasn't really interested in the water park, so Mom and I changed and went on lots of rides. I even did some rides by myself!! I had so much fun!!
My first ride alone!!
I loved the horses!
choo choo!

Mom may or may not have just wanted this for herself...
