It's my turn to weigh in about our trip! I had a lot of fun! Riding in the car wasn't even so bad because I got to have my blankie and nukie as much as I wanted. I watched more tv (DVDs on the computer) during the days we were driving than I have in my entire 17 months combined. But what else are you going to do when you're strapped in for 50 hours? Naps, stories, songs, toys, and snacks only go so far.
Rocking in her chair
I've even started watching a little more tv when we're at home because Mommy got out my little chair again. I loved climbing in Ariella's seat at Auntie Dawn's house and one of my favorite things to do is to "rock, rock." So I now sit in my chair, rock, and watch tv!
But back to our trip... I really liked the hotel where we stayed in Nebraska. I did NOT want to go to sleep there. Mommy and William went down to the pool to play and swim while I was supposed to go to bed. I let Daddy know that I didn't like that idea. I didn't want to go to sleep unless everyone else was going to sleep, too!
Quandary Peak
Colorado was lots fun. The mountains were very "pretty!" And the lodge had lots of stuffed animals hanging everywhere I looked. I liked saying, "Hi Kitty" to the mountain lion on the mantle downstairs. And there were even live animals to watch outside: a fox, black bear, chipmunks, squirrels and birds. There were also plenty of aunts, uncles and cousins to spoil me. I stayed up late, woke up early and took two naps a day. I haven't taken two naps a day in a long time! All that fun really takes it out of a girl.
Then I got to spend time with all my cousins! There was the night at the Legatts in Nebraska that was a lot of fun. They have a great playroom! And then four nights in Arkansas with Abi, Faith and Parker. It was nice and hot there so we played in the water a lot, which I love! I got to practice going up and down slides in the pool and in their basement. Now I can do it by myself!
William hitting a home run!
But now we're home and it's just not as exciting around here as it was on our trip. I bring Mommy my new pink crocks from Adam and Jennie to tell her I want to go out. Thanks, Adam and Jennie! Mommy's been trying to keep us busy with William's BamBam ball games, the library, park, and going to visit grandparents. But now that we're home I've got to keep my blankie and nukie in my bed, so car rides aren't so fun anymore. Mom's sure my eye teeth are coming in which is why I've been biting and whining a lot. Unfortunately I think they'll be a while yet. Well, I'm off for my next adventure at the farmer's market!
