The Way Life Should Be- Part 1

It's been a hot and humid summer so mommy decided that she, Oliver and I should head up to Maine to get a little retreat from the heat. We'll be up here for almost a week but here are some pictures from the first few days. We arrived on Wednesday afternoon and we were very excited to hit the water.

I surprised Oliver and mommy by going right in. Who knows, maybe I was just thirsty but either way I got in the water!

We didn't let the change in weather dampen our spirits. When it started to rain we spent a little more time down at the beach and then we had baths, got our pajamas on and went for a walk down the road. Oliver was very excited to push my stroller and I thought it was hysterical. We also decided that since it was raining we should wear our boots.

I asked mommy for her phone and proceeded to "call" Papa. Mommy wasn't sure if I was calling Cape Cod Papa or Maine Papa but I had a lot of fun pretending someone was on the phone!

After a full nights sleep we were ready to go this morning. We started out the day in Babci's chair eating some raisins to get our energy to take Charley for a walk.

This time we decided to take the car.

After our walk, I really wanted to go on the swing but it was wet so Oliver kindly offered to dry the entire swing for me!

And then while Oliver dried our entire car too, I swung in the swing.

It was a beautiful, sunny day today. Mommy asked us if we wanted to dangle our feet in the water off the dock. We were very excited to do so, me included UNTIL I realized that I was too short. My feet don't reach!

After the morning at the beach we shucked our corn for dinner.

I should say Oliver shucked the corn while I tried to eat it!

After lunch and a little rest we went to the Naples Public Library. They had all sorts of toys and a huge section of stuffed animals that we loved!

We read a few books before heading back to Grammi and Dzia Dzia's house to go to the beach!

On our way down to the beach we stopped in to say hi to Mimi and Papa and there was a yummy surprise waiting for us! They had gotten us some munchkins with sprinkles!!!

Life doesn't get much better than this!

At the very end of the day, a real duck swam up to the beach. I loved watching the duck!
