I turned 4 this month, and I celebrated in Cabo San Lucas! It makes me wonder what I’ll do for my 5th Birthday! I will be posting pictures of my cupcakes I took to school, my cake on my birthday, and pictures of me and my family shopping for bobble head ‘amimals’ – my new favorite.

Here are some pictures of my trip:

The sea of Cortez at the lobby.

I'm showing mommy around.

Enjoying my vacation
Daddy took about a million pictures of the waves crashing on the rocks – this one is pretty good.

This was just beyond our lanai
We got to go meet the dolphins! I named ours Comet.

First we got to pet Comet carefully.
Then Dance…

I think I never want to leave this place!
Here we are posing with Comet

I have more pictures, but I have to go to bed now. Buenas Noches.
It has been a busy Summer! I’ve visited family…

Who's going to pull this thing?
I’ve been to Busch Gardens to play with the dragons…

I've hatched!
I’ve been to Colonial Williamsburg – well the shopping later was fun…

Hey, what did I do?
I’ve also been to the zoo and fed the Giraffes! I rode one too (on a carousel anyway).

I’ve also been taking good care of mommy! Time for me to play with my dinosaurs!
I love the bug!!!! Love, Grandma

Dearest Neela,
I am really enjoying all the pictures of you and Comet. You must have had a wonderful time swimming with him. It was so nice of your Mommy and Daddy, and Grandpa, and Grandma Rita to take you to Cabo San Lucas. What a special way to remember your fourth birthday.
I love you, very, very much,
Grandma Cooper

When you come to Iowa City, Neela, we will have to find something as exciting as dragons and giraffes. I think you will enjoy the puppies, and playing with your cousins, Leann and Sarah. They have two puppies also, and a big swing set in their back yard. Grandma has a nice yard for you to run and play in, and a park just across the street.
I can’t wait to see you, Mommy, and Daddy in a few weeks. I hope you enjoy the plane ride to Grandma’s house in Iowa.
I love you very, very much,
Grandma Cooper
