the life of baby jude

Imagine my delight when not only did Meema come down last Saturday, but she and Mama took me to another pool party! Oh, the fun! This time it was at Meema's friend Patti's house in Freehold. Aunt Patty and Uncle Doodles were there, too. Click on their names and scroll down to see my last "Joodles and Doodles" adventure! Anyway, the weather was iffy at best, but it turned out to be a nice day with no rain. Mama was very happy about this because after I had so much fun with Gaga the week before, she wanted a piece of the action. HA! Little did she know. A day with Jude at the pool is fun and all, but a lot of work. I like to be tossed around, jump in and out all day long, claim pool toys as my own (see above)-- all while not being able to swim. So it's a lot of work. But my adorable proclamations about how much fun I'm having seem to make it all worthwhile. I was a big hit at the party! I got a haircut that very day so I would impress. I was quite the friendly, little ham all day long. I even showed off my dance moves! The older ladies were going wild! I should mention that after Mama took my swimsuit off, I ran around naked for awhile and even did some dancing in the buff. Much to Mama's chagrin, I didn't get any tips. But the Joodles was in full force and everyone was loving it. The other good thing about summer parties is the food. I noshed on pretzels, chips and cupcakes (You should hear the way I say this!"Cupcaaaaaakes?") all day. What's not to like?

We slept at Aunt Patty & Uncle Doodles' house that night and the next morning, we went to Ocean Grove. It's a very cute little town down the shore. The weather seemed *really* iffy this time, so we killed our plans for the beach and did a little strolling and shopping. I was a prisoner in the stroller for most of the time, but I did get to eat a south Jersey staple-- salt water taffy. It's a little hard to chew when you only have 12 teeth, but I managed okay. Hey, candy is candy! We only spent a few hours there because the dark clouds rolled in, but I liked it. I hope we can go again soon. I know it's a favorite of my pal, Lucy.
