Knoebel's Kompany Piknik

We went to Knoebel's for Mommy's Kompany Piknik. Claire was busy on the rides. She drove lots of cars.

The panthers,

the bumper cars,

and the firetrucks

Claire also went on the Whip and was really mad that her hat fell off!

She was styling in her hat and coordinating painted toes.

While I hung out and watched. Claire hung with Daddy. While I was with Mommy.

Next time I just have to check out all the fun rides Claire was on!

Kowaloneks can be Irish too

Mommy claims we are Irish so we went to the Irish Festival.

We ended up meeting some of our Irish relatives there. I got my favorite - pierogies!

Joey put on a cool suit and we watched.

I still need to figure out what it means to be Irish, but I did see some girls dancing - if you need to know how to dance and like to eat pierogies - I guess I could buy that I am Irish then!

Beach Trip

One day Mommy and I went to the beach with lots of my cousins, aunts, uncle and my Grammy!

And when I say lots - these are just the kids that went with us!

Needless to say - I had LOTS of fun. Can't wait until we do it again next year.

Big Apple - Part Two

We stayed over night in New York and on our second day we took in some important sites.

First Daddy pushed us around Central Park

Then Mommy walked on the BIG PIANO with me.

I liked it a lot!

Alyza liked it too, but old habits are hard to break!

I can't wait until we go back. New York City has lots of fun stuff for us to do!

Just Like Me

I got my American Girl Doll Just like me Doll.....

I love her, but Mommy says the just like me "Doll" was actually already here....

I love her too! Alyza and I are so much alike and I never realized it!

BIG APPLE.....

.......more like big sandwich and hot dog.

When Daddy came home from Spain we met up with him in New York City. We went to what Daddy called the Carnegie Deli and the food was HUGE!

Daddy had a tongue sandwich

I opted for a hot dog.

Alyza just watched us all

Hannah Tannah's Graduation Party

When Daddy went to Spain we went to Hannah Tannah's (Jaclyn's) Graduation Party. It was also the real 4th of July so we wore our red, white and blue. Alyza hung out with Jessica.

While Kylie and I hung out by a fountain.

My hands got cold.

I have a feeling next year Alyza will be hanging near fountains with us!
