Kamryn 4th July 2011 - Cookout at Grand-paw-paw house

We went to cookout at Melody's grandparent house for 4th of July holiday. All the grandkids were there. They had a pool and they all had a blast. We rode in the golf cart and kamie got to drive for the first time. She said "I can drive really good." It was lots of fun.

Kamryn saw that I had a picture like this, so she wanted one too. She is "fighting" with herself.

Day 1 - Kamryn Summer Vacation with Daddy 6/4/2011

Today, Kamryn went to the Virginia Living Museum with Melody. Kamryn learnt about butterflies and how they change from a Caterpillar to a butterfly. They then went to the book store where Kamryn got a dress up doll book set. They then went to flo:Delite, a "frozen yogurt" store which just opened up in Hampton.

Kamryn painted this picture.

After I got home from work, me and Kamryn went over to Sheneka's house, where we woke her up and dragged her out to "Blackbeard Pirate Festival" in downtown Hampton. We hung out down there and walked around, then at 9, we watched fireworks. It was lots of fun. Kamryn's favorite part was when the fireworks "rained" off the bridge".

Kamie riding scooter at Buckroe

Kamie and I went to Buckroe Beach for her to ride her scooter. First, we got out icy pops and went to sit on the beach and have icy pops. It was hot, so they were melting pretty fast, and it became pretty messy. We went to the water shower to wash off our hands, but the water was turned off, so we had to go back to the car to use hand sanitizer to wash out hands.

We then went riding. When the road was rough, I pushed her until we got to the smooth part. She was having fun riding her scooter. We played tag, so she would rider her scooter and try to catch me. We went on the pier and I sat down and watched her play. After she had enough, we went to the children play ground. She eventually found a little girl to play with and she started running all over the place with her. The little girl had 2 older girls (maybe her sisters), so they were pushing them on the swings, playing with them. She was having lots of fun, but then it started getting cold when a dark cloud came and covered the sun, so I decided to go home. She didn't want to leave. When we got home, we had dinner, then she wanted to go outside again, so I took her outside to blow bubbles.

We stayed up pretty late that night, because Sheneka was returning from her trip to visit Dane for Spring Break in NY. We went to pick her up at 12 midnight.

Sunday we stayed inside. We watched TV, Kamie played her simulation computer game and listened to music.

I have quite an extensive collection of kids music, so I want her to listen to them more so she can learn more children songs, nursery rhymes, and such. I keep it playing most times. She loves them.

Here are some pictures from the weekend. AS ALWAYS, you can click on the picture to see the full album.

I made this into a "catoony" picture. I call it "Zooming Kamie"




















































Kamie wanted me to make funny faces, while she took my picture.

Kamie and Shen at Hampton U Waterfront & at home

Kamie had a Dora puzzle she was working on. At times she got frustrated, but she was pretty happy when she finally figured out everything and put the puzzle together. She spent one weekend doing that.

She always love water, so as usual, she was excited to go by the water when we went to visit Shen. It was chilly, but she was happy anyway.
