AJ here. I just got back from an awesome summer vacation! First, I went to Albany to visit Grandpa, Ms. Nadene, Uncle Patrick, the Nowiks, the McKeoughs, Uncle Mike, and Uncle Dimitri. So much fun! Daddy played golf and shot an 84 (he wanted me to plug that into my blog somehow)! Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Saratoga race track to look at horses. I loved seeing them up close. They run so fast! The Nowiks let me come over and play and they gave me an Elmo guitar--I LOVE MELMO! Plus Uncle Gary let me play his drums. I banged on them for a long time and had a good audience. They are so awesome! Grandpa Czajkowski let me ride on my very first carosel ride in Saratoga--I loved it so much that I did not want to get off when it ended and got to ride it a second time. Unfortunately, they made me get off after the second trip. I want to go back and ride the horses again!
On the way home, Mommy and Daddy took me to Elmo's house. I got to ride the carosel and a flying Elmo ride. I burst into tears every time the ride ended though. I didn't want to get off! Plus, I got to visit Elmo's world and meet Elmo himself! In addition, I got to take my own Elmo home with me and get a new Elmo video. On the ride home last night I would spontaneously burst into sobs for "Melmo!"--so sad to leave him. I sleep with my Elmo "bear" now.
Today Mommy and Daddy took me to the zoo! I got to see lions and tigers and elephants and zebras and funny looking squirrels and pandas. Although my favorite thing was the waterfall and putting ice into my juice! I was sooo tired after the zoo that I fell asleep on the ride home. Zzzz....
