Maile Girl
Hawaii wasn’t all fun and games – Papa Cal put me to work washing his car. Actually, come to think of it, it was pretty fun so maybe Hawaii WAS all fun and games!
Yes, this bucket is almost bigger than me! Papa's car is pretty big so I needed to make sure I had enough soap and water!
Papa taught me a good carwash is all about attention to detail
Here I am in action:
I think my car wash technique is top notch, but let me know if you have any tips…

As I’m sure you already know this weekend was Father’s Day. So I asked my Daddy, “Daddy, what do you want to do for Father’s Day?” And do you know what he said? He said, “Maile, I’d really like to go to Fairyland!” Me too, Daddy, me too. No wonder we get along so well!
PS – Fairyland. Was. Awesome.
Hi, I'm Princess Maile
And I'm Mad Hatter Daddy!
Guess what I went on all by myself? Yep, the ferris wheel. Daddy was too big - he was totally bummed. I had so much fun - I could see the whole world when I was at the tippy top!
Dad note: Christine and I were blown away that Maile went on the ferris wheel all by herself. We were so proud of her. Our little girl is growing up!
Daddy, this merry go round is a little lame. Is there one that goes a bit faster?
What do yo mean I'm not tall enough? Hold on, let me stand on my tippy toes...
My Daddy rocks! He smooth talked me on to the big girl merry go round!
Happy Father's Day, Daddy - I hope you had fun at Fairyland!
Dad note: I did, Maile.

I can’t wait until I’m a little bit older so my mouth is bigger and watermelon is a little easier to eat.
Man, this watermelon is kind of hard to eat...
Maybe if I come at it from over the top...
So yummy. So hard to eat.
Seriously, Mommy. Can we cut this a little bit smaller next time???

Maile Girl here. I’m not sure how many of you knew this, but my Grandma Jill is quite the gardener. Whenever I go to visit her in Boston she shows me all her vegetables and flowers. Daddy says she has quite the “green thumb” – her thumbs look normal colored to me though. Last weekend, Grandma asked me if I wanted to learn how to plant tomatoes! How cool is that? She showed me every step of the process…
First, I had to look all around the backyard for rocks to put in the bottom of the pots.
Then we filled the pots with dirt.
Then we paused to take a picture (Daddy, Daddy, always with the camera!)
And then, Grandma Jill, showed me how to plant the tomatoes in the dirt…
And then, voila!, all the plants were ready to grow. I told Grandma she needs to send me pictures so I can see how they do. She promised she would!

Did you know that books are true? I always thought that the stories that Mommy and Daddy read me at night are made up – but I guess that isn’t true. All week, Grandma Jill has been reading me this story about these ducklings that live in Boston … and then this weekend WE WENT AND MET THEM! How cool is that? This has opened up a whole new world to me … I can’t wait to meet the Cat in the Hat!
Maile Girl off exploring the Public Gardens
Look what I found! The ducklings!
Let's go duckling, move!
Just call me Maile, Tamer of the Ducklings!
Maile Girl - all smiles after a fun morning with Grandma, Auntie Elyssa and Mommy
(Dad note: More info here – but definitely a fun adventure in Boston for the little ones. All the ladies had a blast and it was fun tying the book to real life.)

Maile Girl here. It’s been a few days since Daddy or I checked in – we apologize! On Thursday, Mommy and Daddy woke me up and instead of going to school, we rode in an airplane all the way to Boston to see Grandma and Papa … and Auntie Elyssa! I’ve been having so much fun with them! I’ll post about some of my adventures over the next couple of days…
For now proof positive that I’m a happy girl!
Just us girls 🙂
Papa Mike - just as silly as ever!

Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
…
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Daddy, I want a lollipop!
Nice.
(Dad note: The back story here is that we hung out with Harold on Sunday and he mentioned to Maile that there was a store where you could get “lollipops”. Of course, the store was closed, but that didn’t prevent Maile from asking for a lollipop about 1,000 times over the next hour. Finally found one for her. She took about 10 licks and was done.)

On Friday, Mommy and I went to get ice cream at Swenson’s. While we were there, a cable car went by. I told Mommy that I wanted to go on it and she promised that on Saturday we could go.
Sure enough, Saturday morning we headed out for the cable car and my friend, Sophie, decided to come along for the adventure! It wasn’t my first time on a cable car, but I was still pretty excited.
All smiles on the cable car!
The cable car gives you an awesome view of San Francisco - Sophie and I pressed our heads against the windows so we didn't miss a thing!
I thought the cable car was the end of our adventure, but boy was I wrong! After we got off, we headed over to the Yerba Buena Gardens and went to the carousel. I got to ride a giraffe(!) and a horsie – Sophie and I rode right next to each other – and we made sure that Mommy and Daddy let us ride all by ourselves – no hands!
All I need to do is hold here, right? I won't fall off?
So. Much. Fun.
This is me on the horsie - Daddy said I'm ready for the Kentucky Derby!
Definitely a fun San Francisco adventure and I was so glad that Sophie came along for all the fun!

Maile Girl here. Being a parent is tough! Dolly B has been getting pretty antsy early in the morning lately, so I’ve needed to take her out for a walk even before I changed out of my jammies!
Shhhh ... Dolly B, it's okay, I'll just put this blanket on you and then we'll be on our way...
I actually don't mind being out this early - it's very quiet on the streets...
