Fun filled days!

A weekend camping with great family followed up by a day at Six Flags Discovery Kindgom with the same great family! Josie loved Six Flags, good thing my mom got me a season pass to take her there often. My mom got each of her daughters families a season pass, which is super awesome for me because the girls are still free. Now my sisters and I can go together with our kids. Today though, we went with Alison, Corey and Megan. These kids see each other so much now, they are becoming best buddies. It's so fun to watch.

Camping and fishing with cousins.

In Dana news, she ate her first corn on the cob tonight. How cute is this? She did pretty well on it. She continues to amaze us with her vocabulary. Alex and I made a list today of the words she says for her baby book. Would you believe this list?

hot dog (today first time)

I want more....(yes, all 3 in a row....sounds like, I want mo)

Mine (her favorite)

all done

outside

Bailey

doggy

daddy

shoe

NO

hair

down (when you sing ring around the rosey, she'll say DOWN at the end and fall down)

and another first today that I am not that proud of is "poo-poo". I am thinking that I'd like to call that something else. Any suggestions on other cutsie words we could use for that...um.....thing. Josie uses it too, and I'd like to change it to something else if it's not too late.

Anyway, Dana says these all so clear. We are amazed at her. I wonder what she'll say tomorrow!

Our vacation to Boston!

Alex and I left Josie with Grandma and Nonu and headed off to a vacation on the East Coast. Although we missed our litttle Josie, it was time well spent away. We had a great time together, and met up with some friends who used to live in California and our friend Mike, whom we met in Italy. We ate great food, had great Clam Chowder, had awesome weather the entire trip, and all in all just had a relaxing time together. We did get to see the A's play at Fenway Park. I've always wanted to see them somewhere else, and even though they lost, we managed to have a good time. I did cheer for them without getting anything thrown at us. Here are some highlights of our trip.
