We visited the Florida Aquarium in Tampa and then traveled over to Clearwater to put our feet in the Gulf of Mexico. Mom and Dad LOVED Tampa! I just loved all the fish and playing in the ocean. So glad Nanny and Jesse came too! 🙂 (Videos will be coming)
Swimming in Nanny’s pool with my “muscles”. I’ve been swimming in my bathtub every night since. Next Michael Phelps?! 🙂
Had a great time at the zoo with my Nanny! Fed giraffes, birds, and identified all kinds of animals! Certainly had changed a lot since last year!
Whew! Mom has been crazy busy learning things for her new job, I apologize for her not being more on top of it! She started back to work this week, she seems pretty happy about the job, but she is having a hard time leaving me. I just realized she hasn’t put up any FL pictures either…mom, what are you doing to these people!?
A couple weeks ago we went to Dixie Caverns, a little north of Christiansburg. Mom and Dad said it is nothing like this place called Luray Caverns, but I had a great time. I learned all about caves, rocks, and animals that go bump in the night. I was really brave when they turned off all the lights too! 🙂
I had such a great time in Florida! We stayed July 1 – 11. I sure love my nanny! Here’s a few pictures from our last night. Mom will put the other pictures on soon, we’ve been SUPER busy!
I’ve been saying “ready to go see Nanny now” since we’ve left. It is super sad, but Skype is a great thing!
Enjoy my spaghetti face!

Friday and Saturday were SUPER fun days! Dad and I spent our Friday boy’s day building tons of Legos at the library and each day all weekend at the POOL! I can’t wait to go to Nanny’s! Saturday I took a music class at the country store, I’m quite interested in music and mom and dad just aren’t any help!
Then we went to Blacksburg to pick some organic blueberries and blackberries! I had the BEST time! I loved “taking a hike to pick berries” and screaming yummy as I ate them! I also tried to catch a rabbit but he was just too fast for me.
As always, we had a great weekend. I have the greatest dad in the world and he’s teaching me to become a great man, just like him. Word to your father! 🙂
I had the best time ever fishing with Poppy!

We headed up to Winchester this past weekend to visit with some family and friends. We had a cookout on Saturday, everyone was there! I made GG soooo happy showing her the “ford-bumper, eye-winker” trick she’s been doing to me for two years, it was my time to show her, she definitely agrees I’m smart now! Everyone had a great time with each other!
Then, on Sunday, Poppy and Grandma took me fishing for the first time ever!!! I had a blast! I helped Poppy reel in four fish and kept saying “more fish please, Poppy” because I just couldn’t get enough of it! I can’t wait to fish with him again! 🙂
Wow! Today was pretty much the best day ever! We went to Blowing Rock, NC (near Boone) to visit Tweetsie Railroad. Guess who was there? Thomas!!
When we first got there I had a complete meltdown over putting sunscreen on, but after that I was the happiest kid there! As soon as we got in the park I saw a real like Thomas the Tank Engine! Mom and Dad didn’t scheduled our ride until noon, so I had to wait two hours before riding him, but that was okay!
We played on a Thomas moon bounce, met Sir Topham Hatt, got a cool tattoo of Percy, ate some good food, and then FINALLY we got to ride on Thomas! I kept saying “ready to go, ready to go on Thomas” Mom and Dad just couldn’t get over my smile! We rode for 30 mins around the park, it was pretty much the thrill of my life so far!
Then we rode an awesome chairlift up to the top of the mountain. Mom was super scared, but I was super brave! I even asked to go on it again. At the top we saw a couple music shows and I fed some animals! I just loved the animals, the goats were probably my favorite, that is until a llama spit/snorted on me and Dad! I laughed and laughed! But I think Mom is scared for life!
Then we rode a merry-go-round and a ferris wheel! Can you believe they let me do all of this?? I’m the happiest kid ever!!!
Oh yeah, then on the way back we saw the Miracle on the Hudson plane!
