My Second Birthday!




We headed out of town for my birthday! We started our trip into Louisiana Missouri where I played trains for a long time at the Whittle Stop. We then went to Hannibal where they were having a festival. I ate a lot of food at the Mark Twain Dinette and then hung out with dad throwing rocks in the River. We explored the Mark Twain Cave! That evening we camped outside of Springfield, Illinois.

At the Lincoln Library, I ran everywhere and played with toys in Martha's attic. I continued to run all around downtown Springfield seeing architecture jewels including a Frank Lloyd Wright house. I even broke out in song with Head Shoulders Knees and Toes on the sidewalk right in front of the State Capitol.

But I was exhausted and fell asleep on my dad during supper. I was re-energized by the time we found our tents. Mom and Dad decorated my cake with sparklers. I like cake. We made smores and Parker and I played ball before we went to bed.

I was still pretty tired after my packed birthday vacation. So I slept on the way home while mom and Emmy took in the road side attractions of Rt. 66.
