Just when I thought I had a routine figured out, Mommy and Daddy mixed it up on me! They kept telling me they were taking me back to Grandma and Grandpa's cabin, but I didn't really remember it because I was such a little baby the last time I was there . Now, of course, I'm a grown up baby and can even write diary entries about my fun weekends.
Where was I? Oh, yes. Mommy and Daddy were so excited to get to the cabin that we left right after they finished work on Friday afternoon. But I like to "cluster feed" on Friday evenings, so it was too bad they didn't consult me before they finalized that plan, because I would have told them that I wouldn't be happy to miss my evening meals. It all worked out, though, because they let me stop to eat twice during the
After we arrived I got to see four of my grandparents - Grandma Roles, Grandpa Fly, Nana and Poppy! What a treat! Too bad I was so exhausted after having had to beg for food for so long in the car, so I ended up going straight to bed after I had a bath. (I do like my nighttime routine!) But Saturday morning I got to spend lots of time with my grandparents. We all went down to the dock together so I could go swimming in a lake for the first time ever!
Daddy was the one who actually took me in the water. He's a lot of fun! Mommy just took the pictures, since apparently that's what she likes to do. Daddy said the water was cold when he got in, but I didn't believe him at first since the sun was bright and the air was warm.
It wasn't too bad when he put just my toes in, but when he started lowering my whole body into the icy cold, I naturally started flailing my arms and crying. You would have too, diary, if you had been there!
Thankfully Nana came to my rescue and held me out of the water so I could still look at the fish but had a little bit of feeling in my toes.
Then I got to sit on the dock with Mommy for a little while. I could tell Mommy was nervous about having me in the sun without a hat on, but she hid her anxiety pretty well. (Although I'm betting that next time she won't forget my hat, silly Mommy!)
After all that excitement on the water it was clearly time for a nap. Grandma rocked me for a while, but I wasn't fooled! I sure wasn't about to fall asleep and risk missing out on any of the excitement.
Eventually my "stay-awake plan" was foiled, however, and I did sleep for a bit. So then I was all refreshed and able to play in the activity gym that Great Aunt Janice gave to Grandma Roles. Grandma even showed me how to reach up and kick the hanging objects and that was super fun. It turns out that I love to kick! Love it!
After I got tired of the fun activity gym and exersaucer, Poppy took me outside to watch Daddy and Grandpa Fly working on the deck.
It was CRAZY - their heads kept popping up from under the ground!
My mind was officially blown.
After all that cra-cra-craziness, I needed another nap. When I got up, Mary and Hobie were over for dinner. It was fun to see them, although I was a bit shocked by how many bottles of wine the adults went through! Mommy even had a glass of wine, although it didn't help me to fall asleep any faster. I overheard her saying that I was a little overwhelmed from all the weekend excitement, and I think she might have been right - but don't tell her I said that. ;)
Sunday morning we all had brunch at the original Famous Dave's before everyone drove to their respective homes. Poppy took a few pictures but he hasn't emailed them to Mommy yet so I'll have to add them later, dear diary. Just take my word for it that I had a great time but am super happy to be back at home again.
Hugs and kisses,
Rose
