my visit to tiny town - the train ride

today i went to tiny town with mommy, daddy, gampa and grammie. the weather was beautiful and there was so much to see and do. one of my favorite activities was the tiny town railroad. i'll have more fun pics of gampa and grammie's visit soon.

i don't usually like hats, but i didn't take this one off all day

getting ready for a fun train ride

enjoying the sights with daddy

i wasn't happy about having to get off the train

the train conductor noticed how upset i was so i got a special treat

the conductor even let me sound the train horn

it wasn't easy to see the train go by without me on it

but gampa and grammie took me on a second ride

my second train ride...thanks gampa and grammie!

baking with mommy

i helped mommy bake yummy cookies tonight. i got to pour in the white chocolate chips, handle the craisins, help measure the flour and put the batter on the baking sheet. best of all, i got to eat the cookies!

i think it needs more white chocolate chips

more craisins mommy?

how do you open this bag of craisins?

snacking while i bake

do i have flour on my face?

i must resist, i must resist!

thanksgiving in texas

i got to spend thanksgiving in corpus christi, texas, with my grandma and grandpa. we did all kinds of fun stuff and the weather was really nice...except on saturday night when we had 45+ mph winds! while we were there, we went to the beach, watched the big boats, did some fishing, and ate really yummy korean food made by grandma.

watching to see where daddy's line went...even if it meant almost
jumping out of my stroller

this one's not getting away from me

making memories with grandpa

daddy tried to keep my pants dry...no such luck. i loved the water!

a weekend of fun

this past weekend, we celebrated mommy and daddy's seventh anniversary. saturday night, they went on a date for dinner and coffee and i got to go play with eliana and her parents for a few hours.

what can i get you, ma'am?

how do i get out of this thing?

on sunday, we all went to estes park, a special way for all three of us to celebrate as a family. we had a picnic and went hiking in rocky mountain national park. daddy got some great shots of our walk around bear lake, and we marveled at God's creation. it was a fantastic day and one we will try to do again soon. mommy and daddy are already thinking of our next trip to the mountains.

getting ready for our hike

a 70-year old lady who hikes up here everyday was kind
enough to take our picture.

a look down our path

it was quite a view of long's peak.
it was neat to see lakes high up here in the mountains.
