Labor Day Weekend

All in all I think we had a pretty good visit with Ninny and Papa. I got this dress. At first I didn't want to wear a dress at all but within an hour I was loving it. I even posed for pictures.

Just a quick note about our weekend.

We took off straight after work and made it to Ninny and Papa's house pretty quickly. We only stayed up a little late but Saturday was going to be a big day. We drove over the mountain and picked up some vegetables. Then we stopped at an estate sale in an old hardware store. I got a new book.

When we got back I decided that I needed to climb the tree in the front yard. Lucky for me, my mommy encourages tree climbing, especially when the climbable part is no more than 3 feet off the ground. As it turns out this is the perfect height for me as well.

I am not a fan of spider webs and there were a couple of them in this tree. Also lucky for me, my mommy doesn't mind sweeping them away for me.

I found a shovel my cousin left in the tree and started pretending that I was in the movie "The Sword in the Stone".

Mommy says I just may be too cute for my own good. I saw Papa come home from work and I screamed, "I'm over here, Papa. I am in the tree with a shovel and a ladder."

Papa let me partake in the time honored tradition of removing the boots after work. Mommy swears she used to do this too. Papa has big feet.

Then I started in to playing with him. I didn't let up all night.

Papa had the most awesome idea. He said we'd be roasting marshmellows. I know what they are but I am not sure why he started this fire.

Then Papa squished two huge mallows on a stick and put them over the fire. I am a quick learner.

So I grabbed the other stick and a huge mallow and put them together. I swiped my mallow through the fire once.

I like my mallows extremely rare. Mommy put one in the fire until it was a toasty brown color and really squishy in the middle but I didn't even want to try it. She says one day she will teach me how to toast the perfect mallow, but I felt like mine was perfect just the way it was.

Mommy told Papa that if he was going to give me mallows that he had to stay up with me until I crashed. He asked Ninny to put on another pot of coffee. I ran it off though. When it got too dark to do laps around the yard . . .

I went inside and colored my heart out. I was able to spell my own name. We have been working on it in school.

Monday when we woke up, it was cool enough that I needed a jacket. I grabbed that and my "wui-tar" because we had a long trip ahead of us.

Of course the only fair I've ever been too was small and they didn't have a whole lot there so it was quite a big deal to go to the fair in Blackfoot.

Ninny rode the carousel with me. I love my Ninny and I made sure to tell my mommy that on the way home.

I got to ride the color worm roller coaster with mommy. If you think seeing her in this tiny car is funny, you should have seen her try to get out of the plane ride.

This was officially my favorite ride though. I want to go on it again and again.

At the petting zoo I got to feed the goats and sheep. The puppies were all too sleepy so I didn't get to hold one. Mommy said she wants to know why it is twice as much to buy a chihuahua as it is to buy a llama. She says you can at least eat the llama.

I got to pet this guy too. He has big, big feet.

Before when I was going to pet a goat there was a stranger holding it so I didn't want to. This time, I was ok with petting the animals. A few of them bowled me over. We had a pretty good visit.
