Hangin' with my Long Island girls

AKA, JUDE AND NATALIE'S DAY OF FUN!!!!!!

On Monday, Mommy and I took a trip to Long Island to see my pal Natalie! You may remember that I went to her birthday party back in June. This time, the weather was much nicer! Thank godness! It was actually a beautiful day, which was nice, because Natalie has all sorts of fun outdoor toys. She has this wagon and even little house in her backyard to play in. Complete with doorbell! So fun! But the real reason I am happy it was sunny was because we had plans to go Natalie's grandma's (Joanne) house to go swimming! So me, Natalie, Mommy and Natalie's M&D Matt and Melissa all got in the car and went over. Mrs. Joanne made the best lunch!! Eggplant parm, pasta salad, tabouleh! Oh, it was delicious. I wasn't really up for swimming, but what's new right? I still put my trunks on and got to see Natalie's little ruffled bathing suit, so how can I complain? Plus, there were some really cool toys to play with! Isn't it funny how everyone else's toys are always so much fun?

After the swimming we went to a park near where Mrs. Joanne lives. First we went to the playground! We went on swings together, went down slides, even tried to pick up the same trash! It's like we're one baby brain! Natalie is a great playmate and walking like a champ, so we have lots of fun together. After the playground, we went to the petting zoo. It was nice, but we were both hot and tired by then, so we just sat in our strollers while the adults tried to get us interested in the animals. We saw all sorts of animals, though! Chickens, donkeys, goats, eagles, horses, cows, a pig... you know how I love livestock! I think I mustered a smile or two!
So after all that action, I was happy just to pass out on the ride home. Of course, we hit some traffic (silly bad drivers!) so I woke up-- and I was ready for dinner. But Mommy sang songs and fed me the last of the cheddar crackers she packed (way to be prepared, Ma!) It wasn't much, but enough to take the edge off while waiting out the traffic. Plus, there were big trucks everywhere to look at! We finally made it home and I even got to see Daddy before bedtime. What a great day!

Hanging out with the Dreyer family is so much fun! They're so sweet and nice and Mommy and I have have such a good time with them! So let's do it again soon!
