Thanks, Martha

Martha let us vacation on her vineyard and boy did we sure have fun. It wasn't just a vacation, it was also a family reunion as my aunts, uncles and cousins were all there too! I couldn't believe how many people we had sleeping in this house. I had my own bed in the same room as Nana Joan. We were great roommates! So the interesting thing about this trip is we had to take a boat to get there. I had never been on a boat before. And this wasn't any ordinary boat - it was a ferry. We drove our car right up onto the boat!


Our time on island (I learned that saying from Uncle David and Tutu Kathleen) was spent mainly doing all the same fun stuff that I do at home. But I got to do it with my cousins! The beach was so close to our house. I had a great time playing in the water. Don't worry, I didn't go in too far. Someone was always there to play with me and keep me safe. My cousin Kristen and I had some fun together.


We rode a lot of bikes during our vacation. I usually rode with my cousin Ava but every now and again we'd split up into our separate spots and get super cozy.


Now here's something that I don't get to do at home too often. Actually, I don't think I have ever done this at home. I got my first tattoo! I was thinking about getting something that really expressed who I was or showed something that was really important to me - maybe the engine Percy, the Wonder Pets logo, a little bowl of chicken and rice. Then I thought why not a little butterfly? I like butterflies. So that was that.


I think the thing I liked most about our trip was how beautiful it was on island. There was water everywhere, so many beaches to play on and the weather was amazing. I really hope we go back again sometime soon.


The end of the trip kind snuck up on me. The last thing I remember was coming back on the ferry and then . . .


Remembering the great times I had with my family on Martha's Vineyard in LANDEN'S WORLD

Four Generations of Giambalvos

Has it been that long? I don't know my months yet but I think a couple have past since my last post and for that, I apologize. But hey, if I can't remember to put on pants every day, you can't really expect me to post just as often. Well we just had another great trip to Cape Cod to visit my my great-great-great-great-great-great-wonderful-super-smart-funny-loving-amazing-grandfather and guess who else was there? My Uncle David and Nana Tutu Kathleen - she came all the way from Hawaii. I went to Hawaii once. Anyway, the trip to see my great-great-great-great-great-great-wonderful-super-smart-funny-loving-amazing-grandfather included a parade! The parade was on July 4 but I'm not quite sure what everyone was celebrating. I saw lots of colors (mainly red, white, and blue), kids on bikes, dogs, big fire trucks, and lots of silly hats. Okay, I'll wear red too!








Now you know I like showers. And you know I like being outside. But I bet you can't guess what I like more than those two things. Can you? I'll give you a hint - it has to do with taking a shower outside. Give up? It's an outdoor shower! I KNOW! I was just as shocked when I saw it. I mean, this whole concept of combining two things you love is slowly starting to catch on for some but I've been talking about it for a while now. It was great. I'd walk outside, play around, then go straight into the shower and not even have to take my clothes off. One time, daddy joined me!

I did get to spend some quality time with my great-great-great-great-great-great-wonderful-super-smart-funny-loving-amazing-grandfather.

One of my other favorites is the hose. First, you only find them outside so already that's a plus in my book. Second, they squirt out water. Too cool! And third, it's not just for play because you can drink from it! How can so many good things come from something so simple? And as you can see, daddy agreed with me. Having fun outside AND being healthy here in LANDEN'S WORLD!
