Memorial Day Weekend
Hello all! We’re just coming to the end of a three-day weekend for Memorial Day here, and what a jam-packed weekend it has been. On Saturday we went up to Venice to meet my friends Duncan and Maddox (and their mummy and daddy) for breakfast, which was lovely. Then we all went and played on a playground at the beach for the rest of the morning, before going for some tasty lunch. By the time we got home I was pretty tired!
On Saturday we decided to visit the Fiesta Hermosa, where they have street fairs, art stalls and all kinds of fun stuff. But first we went for lunch - at the fire station! They moved all the fire trucks and ambulances outside, and filled the firehouse with tables for everyone to have their special pancakes, made and served by the firefighters! There was even a live band! Now that I’m a big girl, I was able to go up and get my own pancakes from a firefighter, as you can see above :) After we’d eaten, I got to sit in a fire truck, climb into an ambulance, and even got a balloon made out of a glove! Oh, and Mummy won some free restaurant vouchers in the raffle too, yay!
After that we went to the fiesta, and I went on lots of rides, including a very long, very high, very bumpy slide, which I went on three times. Then I walked ALL the way home, which was a very long way, and made my legs ache.
In the evening we went to my friends Mason and Griffin’s house, for a BBQ. We all had hotdogs, while the grown-ups had burgers, and played in their garden. They also have a fire pit, and after dinner we made s’mores over the fire! S’mores, for my British folks, are marshmallows toasted on a stick over a fire, then squashed together with chocolate between two crackers! Very yummy indeed!
Today we decided to relax, so we just went to the beach, played frisbee, paddled in the ocean, dug holes, and ate lovely sandwiches from the deli. What a busy weekend. Bye for now!
Whoa! Huge snake :)
Not so sure about the snake!
Reptile day at preschool! I got to touch all sorts of beasties :) including this frog
Fifty-Four Months
Hello all! Today was my four-and-a-half birthday - very exciting! I was lucky enough to get a Ladybug Girl book and a new game for my Leapster in celebration of the occasion, and spent some time this afternoon sunbathing on the deck, as you can see above!
Yesterday was also an exciting day, as it was Mothers’ Day here in the States. We all got up really early and went to a HUGE flea market at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, stopping to pick up a breakfast bagel along the way. The flea market was very busy, with lots to see, and I took along my own money in my little strawberry purse so that I could buy some treasures. After a little while I had two lovely crystals (one pink and one purple), a sparkly pink golf ball and a single domino, which I carried around all day in a little bag. After the flea market, we went into Pasadena for a lovely lunch at a place where I got to sit at the bar while we waited for a table, watching TV and colouring in my menu!
Bye for now!
As you can see I am all better and firing on all cylinders. I took Emma for a ride to the playground today - she had a great time, as did I, particularly as my friend Duncan came to play too! Happy Friday!
Here I am singing the last of the three songs at the mothers day celebration.
Today was our special mothers day celebration at Beach School. It was especially exciting as we got to go to school on a Friday. Here is a picture of me getting ready to stand up and sing three lovely songs, below is a recording of the last song as mummy was so excited watching me she forgot to press record on the first two, I have promised mummy to sing them again so she’ll post them when I do.
After the entertainment I served mummy a lovely snack and we sat on a bench with my friends and their mommies too. After some playing and bike riding our morning of fun in the sun was over but not before I gave mummy some gifts I made for her including a lovely bracelet made from beads I painted. I think mummy enjoyed the start of mothers day weekend :)
Relaxing and watching a movie at the dentist.
A trip to the dentist! I was so excited to go and get my teeth cleaned while watching tv, today I chose Mickey mouse. I had X-rays today too, everything looks good but I have to use a special toothpaste at night to make my teeth even stronger!
