Sand (Wo)Man

I LOVE building sandcastles. Except the part where I get tired and try to rub my eyes with sandy hands... that's not so fun.

So Much to Tell You, So Little Time!

We're finally back from Hawaii and a couple days in Denver. Boy, do I have a LOT of fun stories and pictures to share! I'll be sure to blog alot over the next few days so you all can see how much fun I had.

Aloha

Aloha from Hawaii! I'm having so much fun here! First of all, its sooo pretty here and our resort is sooo cool! Mommy, daddy, me and our friends Jay, Alison and baby Emery are staying in a two bedroom condo here. We have our own bedrooms, bathrooms, and even a kitchen and living room. Mommy and daddy tell me that this place is bigger than their first condo when they got married.

There are 3 pools here, even a sandy bottom pool! There is a playground, lots of green space to run around in, and a HUGE pond with so many big goldfish in them (daddy calls them "koi"). But the best part is that our hotel has 3 different lagoons off the ocean, so I have my choice of beautiful bays to play around in, and there are no scary waves or danger. I get to run around, swim, and see the fish swimming in the water. Very cool.

My only complaint so far has been the 4 hour time change from home. Its hard for a baby like me to adjust like that! So far I've woken up at 3am, 5am and 5:30am. Mommy and daddy don't like being up several hours before sunrise, but at least Baby Emery is doing the same thing so we have a big ol' party in our condo.

The BEST Baby

Well, its official. I've just been named the Best Baby in the World. Yes, mommy and daddy gave me this title so they are a bit biased, but I'm still proud of myself. What earned me this distinctive honor? I rode 7 hours on an airplane to Hawaii and was nearly PERFECT! I took a two hour nap on the floor of the airplane, then woke up and read books, did arts & crafts, played with toys for the next 3 hours, and spent the last 2hours watching Elmo on my portable DVD player. Even though I was stuck in the same spot nearly the whole time, I never put up a fuss. Even the other people on the plane remarked at what a great baby I was.

Mommy and daddy were so surprised. They even gave each other a high-five when the flight was over for how well it went. Me? I knew I could do it!

From One Vacation to the Next...

Well these are the last pictures from Door County that I'll share with you. Nana made me this special "Kamp Kubik" tshirt and we took some pictures out on the back deck to preserve some memories from my first (of many) trip up Kamp Kubik.

Today I'm on my way with mommy and daddy to Hawaii. We are flying 7 1/2 hours to get there, but I'm super excited to do another "first" - spend time on a beach! Of course mommy had to wait until she was 24 years old to see Hawaii for the first time - I'm doing it at 19 months old! Just goes to show that my life is wayyyyy more adventurous and cool than my parents!

I'll try to check in from Hawaii, but in the meantime, keep yourself entertained by checking out the NEW pictures from this summer (link is on the right). Trust me, there are some good ones!

PS - Mommy wanted me to ask you to pray for her and daddy. They are pretty anxious about taking me on this long of a flight (I tend to dislike sitting still) - and are hoping you'll send positive vibes our way!

Golf Carts = Very Cool

At Kamp Kubik, Nana and Papa have this really cool golf cart so they can get around the property. It is like a normal golf cart but it has these big all-terrain wheels on it. Very cool. I spent alot of time riding in the cart when I was there - and the best part is, I dont even have to be in a carseat!

Ahoy!

A week later and I'm still talking about my trip to Door County... That's how much fun I had!

I got to go on my first ever boat ride! It was super fun. We were on the big Lake Michigan for about 4 hours. I got to read books with Nana, steer the boat with Uncle Jo, and have a yummy lunch. The best part? Tossing bread over the side of boat with daddy and watching the seagulls come down and eat it. I had so much fun that I passed out on the ride back to shore. I sure did love my time on the boat!
