Isabella's Diary 

The Final Chapter

North America

Day 1 to 3: 14th - 16th July 2023

Bellport, New York, USA

I got straight into enjoying Julie's toys.

She even let me share her bed.

I really like Julie a lot.

Day 4 to 8: 17th - 21st july 2023

Manhattan, New York, USA

My first sighting of the Statue of Liberty.

Me and Posy riding the BIG bike.

Yummy ice cream time.

We went shopping and this is one of my new outfits.

The next day we went up a very tall building.

I had a lot of fun playing on a fake bird's-eye viewing platform.

We did lots of running and jumping on it.

Then I found more statues.

I love them.

We then walked along a BIG bridge.

In the afternoon we had park time.

I also did some dressing up.

The pictures I took,

of the views,

from the tall tower.

Daddy, Mummy and Posy.

Mummy and Posy.

The pretty sparkly floor.

The day after we went on a boat and I saw the Statue of Liberty up close.

I was very serious about taking my pictures, but Mummy kept wanting to take a picture of me!

My feet on the boat. My new shoes are very cool.

The police boat that drove next to us the whole way.

The statue of liberty up close.

I took a few more pictures,

as we sailed past,

and it faded into the distance!

In the afternoon we went to the park again.

We played in the cold water.

Then we warmed up on the slide.

Weeeeeeeee.

We had a rest in the sun.

Then in the tunnel.

For a while.

Before a final bit of climbing.

Day 9 to 10: 22nd - 23rd July 2023

Bellport again for the weekend.

We went to the beach. The water was too cold for me!

It was fun to play in the sand though.

We made some cakes with J and J's Nanny.

We made very cool unicorn cakes.

We did a very good job.

We cooked the cake in the icecream cone.

This was my best one.

I also went to a birthday party for one of Jack's friends. The big slide was a bit too scary for me.

Day 11 to 30: 24th July - 12th August 2023 

Back to the city, NYC

Straight back to the park!

I was wearing another new outfit. I really like my new clothes.

The next day we went out to a big park with the scooters. I really enjoyed remembering how to scoot and helping Posy to scoot too.

Posy and I scooting in the park.

Wooohooo so much fun.

I scooted all the way home too. I saw lots of people dressed as Minnie Mouse.

Then played ice cream lady with Posy.

The next day I dressed up as a Princess.

And played with Princess Posy Penguin too.

Then we went out to a funny high park.

It was fun though as we found some water to play in.

And some pretty flowers to look at.

On the way to the park.

Playing at the park.

We went to Chinatown as I watched Mulan so it seemed like a good idea.

I was tired and hot so Daddy gave me a ride for a bit.

We went on the

Central Park

carousel,

it was great.

I also played in the park on my scooter.

I enjoyed the sandpit and the swings.

On the way to the park again.

Playing at the park again.

We went to see Grand Central Station.

I liked the Pegasus on the ceiling.

I really liked going to see it.

More park time. I am in the background running around with friends. Probably being chased by some boys pretending to be gorillas. As we go to this park a lot I have made some friends that I see regularly. I make friends with someone every time we go to a park though.

We went to a 'little island' and had fun playing with blocks and funny chairs.

I also used my activity map and free pencils to navigate us around the paths.

I did this picture all by myslef which I was very proud of and Mummy was very impressed with.

Mummy did me bunny ears hair like one of the princesses out of Mulan 2.

Above you can see us at another big building place, me and Daddy in the apartment and then me and Posy playing 'lie on Bellie'.


We also did a pretty pose.

It was a rainy day so we took umberellas with us.

And also took shelter in the shopping centre.

Photo shoot time!

Central Park zoo

As I have watched Madagascar quite a few times Mummy and Daddy thought it would be fun to take us to CPZ. It was fun!

We saw snow monkeys.

Had our lunch with the sealions.

Became rabbits.

Rode on rabbits.

Rode on tourtoises.

Became tortoises.

Then rode on them again.

Then I stroked some sheep.

And some goats.

I really liked the soft sheep.

Then I was a spider on the web.

Another day and another park.

We both liked this bike roundabout thing.

I pedalled hard.

I really wanted a big Minnie Mouse. I was very lucky as Mummy and Daddy took me to buy one.

We then played with our Minnie Mouses back at the apartment.

This is my favourite park. I called it hurty-bum-park as I hurt my bum by falling off of the monkey bars the first time we came here.

I like zooming my scooter around.

But most of all I love playing with my little gang and especially Didi.

We went on a boat to another island.

I relaxed on the boat having a snack.

We climbed on some rocks.

Then found a cool climbing frame.

I got very high up.

A view of the Statue of Liberty.

Day 31 to 33: 13th - 15th August 2023

Bellport for our final few days.

We got the train back with the Minnies.

When we got back we went to the play park.

I really enjoyed seeing Jack and Julie again.

The next day we went to the park again.

We drove the fire engine a lot.

Mummy also tickled me into smiling for the picture.

It's Elsa and Anna.

Julie and I had a fun dressing up together.

We looked great.
