Vacation

We went on a mini-vacation for July 4 weekend. We went and stayed in a pretty hotel with lots of things to look at, and nice people to talk to, and fishies!

I had lots of fun exploring. We were up on the third floor, and to get to our room, we had to go on an elevator, but it was made of glass, so even in there I could look around and see all the people! Here's a picture of me & my Daddy riding the glass elevator.

I also had fun just exploring the hallways. Mama let me run up and down to find out what there was to see - but she wouldn't let me knock on all the doors. I'm a big girl, and I know that when you find a door, you're meant to knock on it. I don't know why she wouldn't let me practice, but she kept telling me "that's not our room." It was ok though - there was always plenty more exploring to do.

 

Finally, after we went all the way around the whole third floor, we came back to a door that Mama said I could knock on - and when I did, Daddy was in there! It was a good thing too, cause after all that exploring I was pooped out and ready for a nap!

The next day, I went downstairs with Mama (Daddy was still sleeping - shhh!) We had a yummy breakfast, and then we went swimming!

I wasn't too sure about the whole swimming thing at first. It was a little scary, because there was so much water, and my feet couldn't find the bottom. But Mama held me up. And when I figured out that I could make splashes, just like I do in my bath at home, then I had all sorts of fun. Before we got out, I figured out how to kick and make splashes with my feet too. I made Mama laugh by saying "Quack, quack, quack" when I kicked my feet - just like a duck!

This morning, when it was time to go home, Mama went and got this big rolly-thing, and Daddy and I played on it. It was kinda scary, but also a lot of fun.

After a while though, we got off and Daddy loaded all our suitcases and things on it, and we rolled the whole thing downstairs and out to the car. By that time, I was ready for my morning nap, so I was glad to get home to my own bed!
