Where Were The Johnson’s Today?

Here’s a hint.

We are taking advantage of this beautiful long weekend by getting out of the house and having fun with Dagny.

This morning I asked Dagny if she wanted to go to the zoo, she promptly replied “Yes!”. I asked her what she wanted to see, the monkeys or elephants and she said “Elephant!” The car ride over that’s all Craig and I heard in the car “elephant, elephant…”.

Someone really wanted to see the elephants right away, but she finally got into the rhinos.

these aren’t the elephants

Big Bird came to the zoo too. Dagny had to make sure that he was fastened into the stroller and then we were set to go.

Can You Guess Where We Went Today?

Okay, here’s a hint.

she looks so big

We figured since the weather was so nice that people would opt out of going to the Strong Museum of Play. Sure enough the place was pretty much empty. Once again Dagny had a blast.

Here is our little composer.

Seriously, how do they know what to do? She just sat down and went at it. I guess she is a Daddy’s girl.

our little programmer

The big kid got a chance to play as well.

the other kid

We decided to see the butterfly garden, since Dagny really seems to like them.

Pretty, right?

Dagny seems to agree.

I think she likes them

On the way out Dagny got really excited about the carousel, I mean really excited.

Big Bird came along for the ride too.

Skaneateles And Fish Fry

Craig and I felt that Dagny was ready to have her very first fish fry and the best around is at Doug’s Fish Fry in Skaneateles,NY.

ahhh… water

When we were all done with lunch we decided to show Dagny the beauty of Skaneateles and the lake.

Craig and Dagny

After we were done walking around we decided to drive over to Mackenzie-Childs, where Craig use to be the Information Technology Manager. Mack-kid is also located next to one of the finger lakes.

When we were done browsing the shop, we walked the grounds.

Matryoshka Photo Shoot

When I saw that the Gap has a St. Petersburg Collection for the fall I got really excited. I was hoping they would have a shirt with the Matryoshka doll on it. Needless to say when I saw they did, I ran out an got Dagny one, well actually two. I got her one that she can wear now and one in a couple of years (when she can understand the meaning of it).

So my girl and I had a photo shoot modeling her new shirt.

Beautiful Dagny

Goofing around…

Good Morning

This morning when I went to get Dagny I found a happy baby. I was happy that I had my iPhone (quality is not so great) on me to capture it.

“Good morning”

“Hello, Mommy”

First let me read some

I love the my book
