Visit to Storyland, NH

We took Eliza to NH for a few days to spend some time with Grampy, Grammy, Auntie Brenda, and Uncle T.J. They had rented a condo for a week so we took advantage of that and got to take Eliza to Storyland and Clark's Trading Post. Eliza loved both! Here are some pictures from Storyland. She was in heaven. It was perfect for her age, she got to run around and check things out and by the end of the day she was exhausted. She had a blast!

She was so amazed by Mother Goose!

Clark's Trading Post, NH

Eliza had a blast at Clark's Trading Post. She loved the bear show, but loved the train ride even more due to the fact that "Wolfman" would chase the train and yell at the passengers. She would start to get scared but saw other kids on the train getting excited, so she knew that it must be ok. She did not like when he fired his fake gun, however. Passengers were supposed to yell "Go away you old goat!" to the wolfman when they saw him and she mastered this during our 3 day get-away and loves saying it to anyone, anytime.

Blueberries for Sal (or, Eliza)

We decided to get out of the house and do something as a family this weekend as I have been mostly house bound for the past week and a half. We went to a local farm to take Eliza blueberry picking. She loved it! Although, she needed many reminders about keeping the blueberries in the bucket. She thought she was so great dragging around the bucket and pitched a fit when we had to give the bucket back. Here are a few pictures.

Martha's Vineyard

We spent most of last week in Martha's Vineyard visiting with Eliza's Grampy's side of the family. We stayed at the house that Grampy and Grammy rented and had a blast. Eliza loved eating ice cream, going to the beach, and riding the carousel. One night we went to a really nice dinner at Menemsha Beach and finished in time to walk down to see the beautiful sunset. Here are some pictures from our little vacation.

Fourth of July Parade

We took Eliza to watch the parade on the morning of the fourth and met up with Audrey, Adam, and her cousin David. She had a blast, except for the fire engines. After the 10 fire engines went blaring by, Eliza looked at me, said "Oh no.." and then burst into tears. She doesn't like loud sounds! The rest of the parade was fun for her and she especially loved marching in the road with the bands!
