Slappy Prefers Air Travel

During her last hours in Rhode Island, Maddie had her first dip in a lake. She seemed unaffected, as she did not appear to realize that her feet belonged to the rest of her body.
She then said fond goodbyes to the other little dude in her life.
And began her first train trip from Providence to Newark. Don't let the picture fool you - Maddie made it clear that train travel has no interest for her by use of fine-tuned shrieks that continued for two 20 minute periods. And no - I don't mean crying - it only began that way. Actually it began with complaining, then crying, then shrieking. Her complaints were registered - by all.
But the trip was all worth it, as she finally got to meet Pippin.
Actually - for the first time she got to meet her Uncle Ant and Aunt Tara, who dressed up special for the occasion (or maybe just came from work).
They took Maddie out for a walk, where Uncle Ant caught and showed her, her first firefly.
