I enjoyed playing games with Great Granny. She helped me play catch (more like fetch), stack cups and play with a puppet.

She made me laugh, a LOT!

So happy with Great Granny, 91!!

We managed one pretty decent photo for her.

Then I wanted to ham it up for the camera. I am still doing this weird squinting face when Mommy says CHEESE!

Not sure how to stop myself!

Even with a toy in my mouth for a distraction, I still smiled goofy!

Finally a MOSTLY decent non-goofy shot. I am making kissy faces.

I learned to say BYE BYE on vacation. I kept waving to Great Granny before I ran to the backyard or out of vision range. She thought I was silly. I also learned that you should be careful on the concrete steps. I have a few skinned knees and a scrapped up head but I am okay. My other new trick. I like to go give BIG hugs and kisses before bedtime. Super cute! 🙂

Today we went to the YMCA for some fun in the inside pool. They opened the outside pay area shortly after we arrived. I took one look at the water and the cool breeze and I curled into Mommy’s arms and said FORGET IT! She took me back inside for some fun in the warm pool.

We hit the mall and enjoyed time at the play area. It didn’t last long as it was soon overrun by camp kids. Oh well, I still got to drive the little car.

Mommy took Breighton and me to Boardman Park for some outside time. It was cold (58F)and wet but we had a nice nature walk in the woods. We saw LOTS of birds, squirrels and possibly a fox?

That afternoon after nap time I fed the squirrels their corn-on-the-cob. It was VERY important that I brushed it off and made it really clean for them.

Of course, we feel them in the DIRT! 🙂

The neighbor girl brought over some of her Ohio Tree Frogs to show Breighton. I was totally fascinated with them.

She even let me hold them. I was really gentle. But I did freak out when one jumped onto my shirt.

I can’t wait to have pets like Breighton does. But I think I will be happy with the stuffed kind that doesn’t jump on you for right now.

Today we took a drive up to Lake Erie. I got to see the old cottage that Mommy used to spend her summers in while she was little. She said things were a LOT different now. We then went to the pulbic beach in Geneva to pick rocks and play in the chilly waters. I had my little blue bucket and immediately started picking up rocks to save.

This was fascinating to me.

Mommy snuck in for a quick photo op. But if you look, I NEVER took my eyes off the rocks.

There were so many to choose from!

nearly full bucket.

ROCK! I called it a “ball”. probably because that is one of my only words! Everything is a ball today!

Showing Grandma Susie all my rocks. Next thing you know, she fell in! HUH!?

Grnamda said, “What they heck, might as well rinse off after the fall!”

All cleaned up, except one wet Grandma.

Off to Madsen Donuts, a family MUST-DO! Breighton and I waited outside while Mommy bought a few donuts.

I LOVED the cake donut. Next time I want one with all that filling and frosting! OKAY!?

I watched as Breighton played a round of mini-golf.

On the way home we stopped at Ashtabula Harbour to see the boats. But the boats don’t come up the canal anymore. Once again, “things have changed”.

I enjoyed a lounge on Mommy while Breighton and Grandma Susie walked down the hill to the water.

I wanted to go down but Mommy opted of the safety of level ground.

Such a cutie!

I got in a few rounds of Hide-and-seek and soon we headed home, back to Poland! 🙂
