Happy Memorial Day!!

Hi Family & Friends,

It's been a crazy around here lately. The summer season is in full swing. Daddy has been busy umpiring and Mommy has been traveling for work at least once a month. It seems like everyone has so much going on.

I've been a good girl. I'm starting to be a lot more confident in my walking. I like to walk between all of the furniture without holding on to anything. I've been walking with barely holding onto 1 finger. Over Memorial Day weekend, I started to walk to Mommy consistently without holding on (about 5-10 steps).

Friday, Mommy and I went with Grandpa up to Duluth for the afternoon and then went to the cabin later that night. We had fun in Duluth, I got to show Mommy all of the things that I love to play with when I spend time up there with Gramy & Granpy. I took Mommy outside to the big swing and then all around the yard. When it was time to drive down to the cabin, we picked Nammy up from her apartment. Gramy didn't tell her that I was going to be in the car. Mommy & I surprised her.

Saturday, it was such a rainy day. All of the ladies attempted to go into town for a little bit. Gramy forgot that it was the annual craft show. It was crazy in town, there was enough traffic that the local police officers were directing traffic. We went to lunch and had a good time. It was actually a little too crowded to shop because there were so many tourons (tourist-morons) in the area. Daddy came up after he was done umpiring. Gramy made her yummy homemade pizza for dinner.

Sunday, it was rainy in the morning but it cleared up to be a beautiful afternoon. It was so nice out that Granpy decided to grill outside and we had a picnic. I really liked it because I ate corn on the cob for the first time. Plus we had fresh watermelon! I also got to go for a boat ride with Granpy. We all pilled into the boat and went down the river looking at all of the houses. That night it was a wild and rocking night. We were in a sever thunderstorm warning, tornado warnings, and flash flood warnings. The lightening lite up the whole sky and the thunder was really loud. I was able to sleep through the whole night. Mommy was proud of me for being such a good sleeper.

Monday was another gorgeous day after a little morning rain. I got to play outside with all types of fun new toys. Mommy took me on a walk down the road and we stopped to see pretty butterflies. The butterflies landed on the ground and let me walk really close to them. I could almost touch them. Later, Daddy and I were walking around and I saw a funny fuzzy caterpillar. It was my first army worm. I was even brave enough to touch it. After lunch, we packed up the car and came home. It was nice to be home.

Until next time,
Love Adelaide (Trav & Tiff too)
