Choo Choo!

Mommy and I wanted to surprise Daddy for his very first Father's Day. We thought and thought about what to get for him. I did a very good job on my Mother's Day video surprise for Mommy, but I didn't want to do the same thing twice. Finally we thought of the perfect gift - an outing on the historic Fillmore & Western Railway! Daddy loves trains, and we have driven around the Fillmore depot a few times but never been for a ride.

Daddy loved his surprise! The trip was about two hours through pretty orange groves in beautiful weather to Santa Paula and back. I was a very good girl, and stayed awake the whole time and loved looking around at everything.

Also, I've decided that bottles aren't so bad! On Saturday I drank a bit from my funky bottle, and then Mommy got more milk for me and put it in a different bottle that I used to like to drink from. I drank about four ounces all together! I also had more from a bottle today on the train. I don't know why I didn't want any bottles for the last month, but Mommy and Daddy are glad I've changed my mind again.

When we came back home in the evening, the weather was still lovely so we took a little walk and got some dinner. Daddy made dinner while Mommy fed me, and then we all sat out on the balcony. It was a very nice day.
