My first vacation

I've spent the last week in New York. Mom and Dad took me to visit Aunt Jenna. We spent a few days in Binghamton, where she lives and then drove to Niagara Falls.

From NY

(Aunt Jenna, Use that NY link to see all of our photos, not just the ones here.)

I really liked flying on the airplanes! Takeoff is my favorite followed closely by the moving walkways. Hotels are cool too. I like sleeping in the same room as Mommy and Daddy, but don't like falling out of bed and I don't like bright flashing cell phones that wake me up.

In Binghamton, we visited the zoo where Aunt Jenna works. She let me touch a chinchilla and an armadillo. I especially liked watching the meerkats get fed!



I'm playing tug of war with Dad.




We also painted pottery. This is my lizard.




We also hiked around Watkins Glen park. It's full of waterfalls. I can't count as high as the number of waterfalls we visited in NY.













Mom and Dad dragged me to a few wineries. I danced to the guy playing guitar and played under the chair.

Long car rides are boring. you need to be silly to survive it.


Niagara Falls is really really really big. There are lots of blue people on boats, scary haunted houses everywhere, and candy and ice cream stores everywhere you look.

I WANT TO LOOK IN THE BINOCULARS!


Thank you.


There are lots of pretty flowers in Canada.












After the splashy boat ride, we went to another zoo that had reptiles and birds.I got to touch this snake. Its name is Marley.




I tried to catch the seagulls, but they kept flying away.

Happy Mommy's day

Mommy,


Happy Mother's Day. Daddy says that means I should try to be extra quiet and helpful today, but I think that means I should play with you all day.



Thank you for getting me drinks at 2am. and 6am. Thank you for changing my sheets at 7am. Thank you for letting me hate the potty. Thank you for giving me treats anyway. Thank you for letting me get dirty. Thank you for letting me hate the bath sometimes. Thank you for making me such good food. Thank you for being patient when I refuse to eat it. Thank you for taking me to so many wonderful places. Sorry we had to leave swimming lessons that one time. Thank you for kissing my owies and wiping my nose and giving me hugs and letting me fingerpaint and playing with me and reading me stories and... Thanks for giving me literally everything.




And because it's been awhile. Here's some pictures from the last month.


Easter of course.




I found eggs!


This is at the zoo.
