Aunt Shelby & Grandma Barb visit

Grandma Barb and Aunt Shelby came to visit for a week. Early in the week we went to Dan Nicholas Park in Salisbury. We rode the little train: Maddox really enjoyed the petting barn! You'll also notice in these pictures her first pony tail on top of her head thanks to Aunt Shelby.

She took her first ride on a peddle boat. She sat very still for it on the hump between shelby and I, I think wondering what we were doing.

Then we had a picnic lunch where she got very lovey with Grandma, giving kisses right and left.

She kept wanting to clap Grandma's hands and thought it was great fun.

The latter part of the week we went up to West Virginia to Pipestem Resort State Park for a couple of nights. We had to waste some time before we could check in. Maddox spent a bit of it chasing Grandma around the parking lot. She was laughing and laughing! It was so funny!

Then we played some frisbee golf. Again, I think she wondered "huh?"

We did a few hikes up there. M loves being outdoors so hiking was okay with her. She got tired on this one though and fell asleep before we made it back to our room.

One evening we went on a short hay ride which was a dud of an activity, but at least it was something to do for only a buck. Maddox wasn't so sure about the poky hay she had to sit on.

We weren't able to check into our room until 4 so maddox went all day until then without a nap. Here's a cute video of delirously tired maddox playing with Grandma through the balcony window:

We had a great time with the family and a little vacation! It was so nice for me because before they came Maddox was getting really clingy and wouldn't let me do ANYTHING without me holding her or she would scream and cry. Having other people around to take care of her helped a lot with that! Now, when she gets that way again who is coming out???
