Island *Crawling* Baby

I just got home from a super fun vacation. On an island! There was water everywhere. Mom, Dad and I went to Madeline Island in Lake Superior for a family vacation. Grandma Lola, Grandpa Gary and Aunt Kristie came too. We had our very own house to play in. It was SUPER hot the first day. I felt like I was melting. Then we all went to the beach. What a relief! There was a nice wind and we got to play in the water. Mom and Dad went out really far into the water. I was sad to back to the house. Mom said it was like a hundred. I think that's bad.
The next day it started cooling off a little. We went to the pool and played anyways. It always feels better in the water. I met lots of other kids at the pool. They wanted to play with me, so I smiled and splashed water at them. One day Mom, Dad and Kristie went out on a HUGE boat with big sheets that went way up into the sky. Aunt Kristie and Mom said Dad tried to tip them over into the water. Silly Dad. Another day Mom and Dad and I went on long walks at a park. We went and saw a pretty beach and walked through the woods. It was very fun. Later that day Dad and Grandpa Gary left go home and Mom, Aunt Kristie, Grandma and I went back to that pretty beach and went swimming. So from then on, I was left with the ladies. We had lots of fun, and as usual, life centered around me. We went to lunch one day and they let me try a french fry. It tasted okay but what I really liked was to mush it in my hand. They didn't know, but I held that thing while we were shopping after lunch and didn't let go until we were on the front porch. Then I dropped it! And everyone laughed. I'm funny like that.
Here's the BIG NEWS: I started crawling forward. I could crawl backwards before, that was super easy. I thought to myself, "It would be so nice to see something and be able to go and get it and stick it in my mouth." So I did it! Mom, Grandma and Kristie were so excited! Mom took some video and called Dad.
We even had visitors. One day Mom's cousin, Auntie Sheila came with Uncle Martin. We hung out for a while and then cousin Carol and Cory came too. We sat at the patio next to the pool and had refreshing beverages for an hour or so then went home and had a HUGE dinner. I slept good that night. The next day Auntie Diane, cousin Kylea and Jyllian came to visit. We played on the porch, went to the pool and had a yummy dinner. I like Jyllian. Even though she older than me (but a little smaller) we get along like peas and carrots.
The next day we had to pack up and get back into that dumb car again. We had SO much stuff to take home. It was packed all around us. We took a detour on the way home, but I'll tell you about that later. It sure is nice to be home with my kitty.
