Tri-State Roadtrip 2009

Momma, Daddy and I went on a roadtrip this past week to visit some friends and family.  First we headed to Milwaukee to visit Auntie Mandy, Uncle John, Ryan, Jack and my new cousin Lincoln. I was really excited to see my cousins and we had a good time playing together and fighting over toys and such.  They gave me a stroller for my baby doll and that was nice!  Lincoln was very small, but they let me pet his head.  Jack was nice and showed me how to do some things with toys.  Ryan and I dressed up like cowboys.  And I got to see Bobby-O.

The next day we drove north a bit to Fond du Lac to visit friends Andy and Liz and thier baby Leander.  Leander is six and a half months and sits real nice and doesn’t try to steal my toys.  He doesn’t even complain when I steal his.  This baby and I got along real well.

Next we headed towards the Twin Cities.  We passed alot of farms and I saw some live cows and horses. We sang “Old McDonald” and I’m getting real good at saying, “E-I-E-I-O”.  I now work it into everyday conversation.

We stopped near Eau Claire to see my great aunt Sherrie and Wayne and have dinner.  They gave me a bunny and let me play with their very fascinating coasters.

Late that night we arrived at Grandma and Grandpa G’s in Minnesota.  I immediately went and said Hi to Big Bird, as noone else was up.  We stayed there for almost a week.  I played with the kitchen set and the bristle blocks alot.  Momma and Daddy took me to the Children’s Museum.  It was great.  Very different from our children’s museum.  There were lots of things to climb on and run around in.  There were animal costumes I could wear, water I could stick my hands in, and even a grocery store where I could go shopping!  I got to drive a bus too!  We’ll have to go back there again.  Momma also took me to the zoo.  It was cold out so we stayed inside, but we did get to see some monkeys and turtles and birds and lots and lots of fish.  My favorite was the shark!  I yelled at him through the glass and got mad when he swam away.  There were lots of other fish to see when he wasn’t around, but really, he’s the best.  Momma recorded me talking to him.

Shark!

The rest of the week I hung out with Grandma and Grandpa and sometimes Auntie Heidi.  It was her birthday around that time, so we had a bit of a party.  We also went over to Uncle Greg and Aunt Lindsey’s and saw cousin Keith.  I stayed up late a lot, once even past 10!  Other than that, not much.  Just hanging with Momma and Daddy.

Uncle Greg and Aunt Lindsey had a baby early this morning.  Yah, more cousins, but…

Another boy?  Geez.  Where are all the female cousins who will play “dress up” and “house” with me?  Boys are fine for now while we all share the same interests (banging things, scribbling, climbing, etc.) but soon I will grow out of that and on to more productive activities such as organizing doll houses, dressing barbies, and doing hair.  Who’s going to play those games at holiday time with me?  Someone help me out and MAKE ME A GIRL COUSIN!
