What a weekend!

I started off my weekend by being picked up early Friday afternoon from Marine's by Daddy. He took me and Snickers up to Aunt Rose's house. I got to see the donkeys that Aunt Rose just bought, and we had dinner with the family. Then Daddy took me and Snickers up to the family cabin. I had a hard time sleeping. First off, this was my first night without Mommy (and the cuddle/nurse/listen to my cd), and, second, Daddy did not bring my favorite blankie. I had to snuggle with my sippie cup instead. I am getting so tall that it is not easy to sleep in the pack n play anymore. Mommy got to the cabin Saturday morning at 11. I was so happy! I ran to her and grabbed her shirt. So we sat down, and I nursed. She was happy because she had blocked ducts for the first time in a long time. She was not happy that it was still so hot, but what can you do? I decided we all needed a walk after Daddy told Mommy the pool was not yet open due to maintenance issues. I grabbed the dog's leash and off we went. The neighbor was outside and apologized for the skunk smell. Apparently, there is a dead skunk in the ditch, and Animal Control still has not come out even though they have been called many times. I didn't care about the skunk, but Snickers did! We walked down to where the pool and playground is. Mommy thought I could play on the playground, but she forgot it is all metal equipment like she used to have to use when she was a kid. Forget the rust, I would burn my precious milky white skin! Mom remembers doing that when she was a kid-ouch! So we went back to the cabin. Dad said we should go to the creek at the nearby state park. Mom was getting hungry, and I was getting cranky. So Dad went to the grocery store and Mommy and I stayed behind. Mom nursed me and sang for a while and then put me in the pack n play. I cried for about 20 minutes, but she didn't come get me. She sat outside and read a book while Snickers sat next to her. After I did fall asleep (I guess I was tired after all!), she came inside and lay down on the mattress next to me and rested and read with Snickers laying alongside her. 2 hours goes by, and I awaken. We eat a bit, and then we go to the park. The water was COLD. I mean COLD! Mom and I did not have water shoes. Poor Mommy smashed one of her toes so badly on a rock. It swelled up and it looks horrible. As for me, I got used to the cold water and then had a blast. Even Snickers got in the water and he hates to get wet. I liked running and falling down the soft sand hills. That gave Daddy a figurative heart attack because there are rocks everywhere at the bottom of the hills. He took me out to where the current runs in the middle of the creek. I arched my back and squealed when I touched the water. This confused Mom and Dad because they thought that meant I did not like it, but I also fussed when Dad tried to bring me back to the shore.
