A Walk on the Wild Side

So I got to go to a petting zoo for the 3rd time in my life, but this one in Door County was WAY cool. I got to feed the animals with corn and also bottles of milk. I had SO much fun. Mommy and daddy also milked a goat for the first time, but they won't let me post the pictures of that... but you can probably guess what look was on my daddy's face.

Car Rides

I counted it all up, and I think I spent a total of 13 hours in the car last weekend to get to and from Nana and Papa's house in Door County. Thankfully mommy and daddy kept me pretty entertained with books and a portable dvd player, so I got to see Elmo! And of course, falling asleep helps pass the time.

Sleepyhead

My trip to Wisconsin last week started with a long airplane ride. Thankfully I'm so comfortable on airplanes (I've probably flown 20 round-trips in my short life) that I can take naps on mommy if the flight is long enough. Unfortunately, my naps tend to damage my perfect hair. I can look a bit...well...scattered when I wake up.

I'm also good at waiting... Waiting in line to check in, waiting in security lines, waiting to board the plane, waiting to take off, waiting for our bags, waiting for our rental cars.... you get the point.

Holding on for dear life

I'm still holding on to summertime... Here's a few shots from my time at the park in Denver last week.

School Is In Session

When I was in Denver last week, I went to Euclid Middle School which is where my Grandma Mary teaches. I swear, visiting Grandma Mary or Aunt Maggie at their schools is one of my favorite things to do. I LOVE looking at all the older kids, and they are always so sweet to play with me. Mommy thinks that my school days are far away, but everyone keeps telling her that they'll be here before she knows it. Personally, I can't wait! I think I already look the part :)

In Memory

Last week my Great Grandma Cecilia passed away at the age of almost 101. Although I'm too young to have known her very well, I have visited her on several occasions and we always had a special connection. I last saw her about two months ago when I was in Chicago for Uncle Nathan's wedding reception. Even though I won't have memories of being with her, I know my mommy and daddy will pass on her stories and the values of family, faith and hard work to me throughout my life. Here's some pictures of me with Great Grandma Cecilia, including the last one taken of us in July.

Out of Touch

I'm sorry I've been out of touch the last week. I was in Denver for a few days, and then Chicago for my Great-Grandma Cecilia's funeral. She died last week at the age of 100 - almost 101! Now I am up in Door County, Wisconsin with Nana and Papa. Needless to say, its been a busy week for me - 2 flights, almost 9 hours in driving, and 3 cities. Of course, since I'm ME, I've been super flexible and happy even with all the crazy change that's been going on...but my blogging has been a little off. I'll write more when I get home and have a chance to think about all the experiences I've been having. In the meantime, a cute pic of me last week at my Great Grandma Shirley's house in Denver, enjoying her flowers.
