Canoe Trip

We went on another canoe trip today. It was our second trip as a big family of four. I was very excited when we found the family of three swans. S fed them bread and I challenged mom and dad's balancing skills by dancing in the boat.

Just as we turned back, though, I decided I was very tired. It took a while to get comfortable since neither my nor mom's life jackets are designed for snuggling. Eventually, though, I fell deep asleep and mom laid me down at the bottom of the boat.

I guess I missed seeing the dozen turtles sunbathing on the logs. S thought it was a blast, but I needed the rest.

Once we all returned home, S and I took a "bath" in the wading pool and S just laid down for her nap. Mom and dad thought I was going to take another nap too. Boy were they wrong.

Corn Maze

For our Labor Day Sunday we went to the Corn Maze. Yesterday A was up until 11pm and I was up until almost 1am so we were both very tired. A rode in the stroller and I spent most of my time on mom or dad's hip.

It was pretty fun still, though. I kept track of where we were in the maze and dad put me in charge of finding the final route out.

But more important than the maze was getting back to the goats so I could feed them. They looked very hungry and I had to buy a fair amount of goat food to make sure they were properly tended to.
The photo is of me with my famous "funny face" and A attempting to imitate me. She's learning a lot of my tricks pretty quickly, but she still needs to work on that funny face some.

Like Sister Like Sister

Let's see, there is so much to say and I can't think of anything. Needless to say, the girls are both growing quickly. A loves imitating her sister and S loves bossing the younger around. Both will be moving into new rooms at the daycare on Tuesday which will bring about a number of changes for them.

I'm loving being a mom. At any moment, I have two beautiful children who want nothing less than to spend as much time as possible with me.
