What I Did on My Summer Vacation

On Friday, July 29th, summer school let out for our summer vacation.  Daddy could only take off work for a part of it, but we had plenty of fun anyway!  And I spent the last week of it with my cousins in Pennsylvania!  Here's some photos:

On the first day of vacation, RAGBRAI rolled into Coralville.  On the last overnight stop of the 7 day cross-state bike ride, the park was filled with food tents, games, and this lovable cow from Cick-Fil-A!


I found the bouncy house and the inflatable slide and I rode it again and again.  And again. And again.  (for about an hour!)

It got pretty hot the next week, keeping us from working in the garden.  I am not sure why the weather people labeled a heat index of 115 as "Fair" weather!  This is a screenshot from daddy's iPhone.


On Wednesday, August 3rd, daddy and I drove to Indianapolis, IN.  We stopped for bathroom break and directions in Galesburg, IL.  They were very nice and gave me a cool coloring book.  They also had a REALLY big chair outside!


Daddy went to Indiana to attend the Gen Con gaming convention.  It looks really fun and he promised I could join him next time.  YAY!  Outside the convention hall, I posed in front a statue of Drizzt Do'Urden with Gran.  Drizzt, as everyone knows, is the famous twin sword wielding Drow- ranger created by author RA Salvatore.  Trivia question: what are the names of his swords?  His panther animal companion?*


After a long day of travel and a thrilling day walking around Indianapolis, I fell asleep pretty quick!


The next day, I said goodbye to daddy and got in the car with Gran and Ada for the drive to State College, PA!  Although long, it was an uneventful drive that I spent playing with Gran or watching a movie on my DVD player!

Blue tongue is a serious disease of cattle.  I dont have that!  But I did enjoy the change of tone from eating blue frosting!

Gran's garden is gorgeous!  And it is full of produce!  Take a quick look at all the tomatoes I have, because I will eat them up within a few minutes!

Trivia: His swords are called Icingdeath and Twinkle.  The panther is Guenhwyvar!
