So....no pictures of me.
I was at home with my "other mama" (Kristin).
But, Daddy, Mama, and Sissy went to Washington to visit Grandpa and Grandma.
There are no plane pictures.
Because my sissy was WAY squirmy. But she did well. She didn't cry at all. No meltdowns!
It was relaxing.
This is Grandma and Grandpa's backyard!
The deer came to play with me, but I was taking a nap.
This is my Sissy on the drive up to CANADA! My sister is an international traveller!
Sissy had to use blankies, because Grandpa likes the car/house cold. Well, cold for California standards.
In Vancouver, they went to the aquarium.
A lot of the exhibits were dark and Sissy didn't know what she was supposed to look at, but some were bright and fun!
Then, they went to a suspension bridge! This was next to it for my sister to take her typical photo opportunity.
And here is another photo op. Mama did everything she could to prolong the inevitable!
THE BRIDGE!
If you know my mama, she is petrified of piers (because of the wooden planks) and heights (duh, because they are scary). And this was the worst of BOTH!
It was super scary, and had rocks and rapids far, far below it.
Mama sucked it up...to teach my sister a lesson, that she can do anything.
(cue the violin music now)
But, once she crossed the bridge, she said it was pretty.
She had Sissy strapped to her the whole time.
On the bridge, she would look up at Mama and laugh! I think she liked the shakes and wobbles. Mama just kept saying, "It's not nice to laugh at your mama!"
See? Pretty.
But, pretty only lasts so long.
Mama had to cross the bridge again to get back to the car.
But, not with out more photo ops!
This one was hard because the stump was slanted downward. I think that Daddy was more frightened that Sissy would fall forward on this stump than he was of the bridge. (I don't think Daddy was scared of the bridge at all)
If you think this tree stump is big....
LOOK AT THIS TREE STUMP!
But, don't worry, Grandpa saved me.
This is the face Mama gets after putting her in a tree stump.
They went to the zoo too! They saw lots of animals!
Gorillas...
Bears...
(This one came super close to Sissy!)
AND SOPHIE! Not this Sophie, but real life Sophies!
They were Sissy's favorite.
And she went on her first carousel. She didn't quite understand to hold on, but at least she didn't cry.
There was a pretty garden next to the zoo.
There were some weird things there...like those trees.
But, pretty things too, like lots of flowers!
It was just a cute garden all in all.
Here are some random pictures from Grandpa and Grandma's house.
Sissy on the deck.
Sissy in the backyard.
Which is the green on the 15th hole.
Daddy was pretty proud that my sissy liked it out there.
Plus, it was not too shabby of a view during a nightly bottle.
Grandma and Grandpa made sure Sissy had everything she needed! Books and toys galore!
Sissy was a good reader!
and a good eater!
and a good musician!
and a super good player!
Grandma was super great all weekend! She and Grandpa were so much fun! And they are missed!
Bye Washington!
Stay tuned.
I know I say it all the time.
But, I will post again this week.
There are some playdates to update you on!
See you soon!
