Tall Ships

The best part of going to see the tall ships in Boston is that we got to walk on them! I was very excited to get to be on a ship and thought that wearing my lobster shirt on a ship was very New England of me.

Firetruck

We went to see the tall ships in the Charlestown Naval Yard today. On our way to the ships there was a Boston firetruck that the firemen kindly let me sit in and drive. Firetrucks are cool!

Travel

So Anna and I may be big international travelers, but we don't always travel with much style. This is how we flew home from the UK. Check out my sweet hairdo!

I just had my 2 year check up this week, a little late. Everything checks out a-ok and I have 3 of my 4 2 1/2 year molars already. Mummy does not recommend putting your fingers in my mouth! I weighed in at 26.5 lbs (25% - wow!!!!) and a long 36" (86%). Next up on the list: toddler bed, dropping paci and potty training. Never a dull moment.

Cute

Hanging out at Largs. The fresh sea breeze was nice.

Having a great time at the park at Rouken Glen.

Although I can't sit well by myself, Aunt Liz borrowed this "doughnut" and I had a great time sitting all by myself.

Here I am, charming the family with my great smile.

During the early part of our trip the weather was super sunny and mummy didn't have a hat for me so Gran and Lorna fashioned this "hat" for me out of my burp cloth.

While we were in the UK I posed for all sorts of cute pictures. Here is a sampling that highlights the fun that I had.

UK Adventures

Double-decker bus ride. Need I say more? Seriously, I love this place, even their buses are cool!


I can't take my eyes off of all of the sites from the top part of a double decker-bus. I would have riden the bus everyday if I could have!

Anne and Lorna swinging me. This is one of the best ways to "walk" through town.

At the park I met this cute little girl on the merry go round. This was my first time on a merry go round as they don't seem to exist in American playgrounds anymore. It was lots of fun, another reason I love this place!

In case you were wondering, I'm pretty sure that this is Percy. We went to the transport museum and there were all these great old steam engines. It was enough to spark mummy's interest in trains again.

Trying on noses at the art museum.

"Driving" the dune buggy at the sea coast in Largs.

While we were in the UK we did all sorts of fun everyday things. It may not have been anything special, but I had fun with each and every adventure that we had.

Family Aboard

Gran, Cousin Anne, Anna, Aunt Liz, Uncle Richard, Mummy, Me and Daddy (we forgot to get this picture before Lorna left so she's missing, but I had a great time with her as well)

Aunt Liz is feeding me a cupcake. With all these June birthdays, every time I see a cupcake or a cake I figure it's time for me to eat cake!

Anna and Gran

Cousin Lorna and Anna

Great-grandpa Goodall, me and daddy. If only Grandpa had been around we would have had all 4 generations, but 3 will have to do.

I just got back for an excellent visit with my family in the UK. It was my first time meeting most of the family and I had a great time. In addition to all the family in the pictures, I got to meet Uncle John, cousin Sabrina and her kids, Courtney and Mark, Uncle Alec, Aunt Betty and "Aunt" Lorna, "Aunt" Vicki and "Uncle" Dave. I love when I can be the center of attention. I mean I had to share some of the spotlight with Anna, but I'm getting used to that and she still does sleep a lot.
