AUGUST 2008

This has been a very busy, fun filled month for Abby. We spent a lot of time playing inside last summer so we are definitely making up for it this year.

We started out the month with a trip to Grant's Farm with Jack and Henry Perry. They had a great time and for the first time Abby actually fed the goats. They are always too aggressive for her but she managed to muster up the courage standing on the outside of the pen.

We were invited to go to The Botanical Gardens with Abby's Grandma and Grandpa Fendler to see the Niki Exhibit. It was a beautiful day and Abby had a great time playing in the new children's area. She even ran in to her friend Samantha Koziacki while we were there. Grandma bought her some fish food and she got to feed the big Coi before strolling off with her PaPa.

On probably the hottest day of the year we took Abby to the Children's Museum! It was very crowded and there really wasn't much for a 2 year old to do. So we went to the aquarium and left.

Our next stop was Suson Park to feed the ducks. Unfortunately the day was cut short when I slipped on some slimy concrete and fell in the water. Of course it was Labor Day weekend and the park was full of people. Jon managed to hold in his laughter long enough to help me out of the water. We still had fun!

Lastly, a trip to the Zoo with Ryker Benz. Abby once again proved she has overcome her fear of goats by brushing them. After a train ride we called it a day.
