Colorado Vacation

We went to Colorado for a family vacation. Here I am in Gogo and Papa's car reading Brown Bear Brown Bear. It is one of my favorite stories.When we got to Boatman's they had the best toys to play with. I loved playing with this dollhouse.
Papa, Dad and Mom all went white water rafting. I was showing them how to row!
I'm holding up the balancing rock at Garden of the Gods.

All that mountain climbing made me very tired!
Dad was entertaining me my favorite way....upside down!
Before we went to Colorado my Aunt Gigi's friend brought her raccoon over for us to see. I liked it and fed George cheese crackers.

Miss Independent

Happy 4th of July. I've become Miss Independent, wanting to do everything myself, walk by myself and be a big girl. For the 4th of July we went out to JJ's. Here is my cousin Avery.I got to go on the boat for the boat parade.
When I got off the boat I had to show Mom my pinwheel!
JJ has some very pretty flowers, I especially like this hibiscus...it reminds me of Papa Vogel.
JJ had some water guns for the water fight. I was try to shoot everyone.
Just being silly!
At the lake picnic I really liked going over this bridge. It is by Aunt Mookie's house.
Wiping my nose.
The night before the 4th we went out to Riverside with my Aunt Gigi. Here I am sitting with Abbey watching the fireworks. Alex said I was very brave because the fireworks did not scare me at all.

Swim Lessons

Mom and Dad both got to go to my swim lessons on Thursday. Here I am kicking.

I love my swim lessons.

Ethnic Festival

Last night and today we went downtown to the ethic festival. Here I am waiting to ride the horses.Go horsey go! Yeehaw!

1-2-3 swing! I love playing this game with Papa and Meme.
At the festival they had a place to get your picture drawn. I got a caricature drawn of me to hang in my room. Doesn't it look like me too?
When we left the ethnic festival Mom and Dad got me some fireworks. I really liked the snakes.
