Andrew Stephen Quinsey: Summer Fun!

Oh, what fun I have had this summer! Carnivals, parks, family get togethers and more. Mommy and Daddy took me to the Old Settlers Picnic in Ferndale a couple of weeks ago and I had a really good time. We walked around and looked at all the booths, had some greasy carnival food (mom packed me my own dinner so I didn't get curly fries, bummer) and then we went to the carnival where Daddy took me on my very first carnival ride. Oh my gosh, was it ever fun. I got to drive this really cool car around the track. I absolutely loved it. Next, Daddy helped me play my first carnival game. It was the water one where you aim at the target with the water pistol and the first one to the top wins. Well guess who won?? ME!!!!!!!!! I won a green monkey and I gave him a great big love when the man gave him to me. I was so happy. After that it was time to go home but I got a special treat when we got home. Mommy gave me cotton candy. Of course she thought it was the first time I have had cotton candy but last month my Grandma Porter took me to a little carnival at her church and guess what, she gave me cotton candy! But please don't tell Mommy. What happens at Grandma's house, stays at Grandma's house. Here are pictures from this fun day.

Last Tuesday Mommy and I went to Kent, Wa to visit our friends Brad, Melissa, and Riley. We had a really good time. On Wednesday we went to the Woodland Park Zoo and spent the whole day looking at animals. They were all awake and playing while we were there so it was really fun. I saw elephants, giraffes, tigers, snakes, monkeys and so much more. My friend Riley had a great time too! She is 2 years old and my best friend! She got to feed the birds in the Willawong Station which was really cool. I actually slept through that part but Mommy told me all about it. The birds come and eat bird seed right off of your stick and Melissa even had one hop onto her stick.
