Seattle...week 3

This past Saturday we made the long drive home.

I didn't even ask one time if we were there yet...I knew that it would be dark when we got home and it was. Boy, was I happy to get here. I'm a little sad that I don't get to be with my grandma and cousins any more...but I'm so happy to be with my toys again.

Our last week in Washington we went on another camping trip.

This time it was with Grandma Bonnie at Lake Chelan.

Cooper spent a lot of time in "the cage".

Mom didn't like him in the dirt...Cooper likes the dirt...and he likes to eat the dirt.

Sometimes Blakely was in the cage with him...and sometimes she would sit on Cooper.

I spent most of my time playing with Cameron and Kensie.

We had lots and lots of fun.

We only didn't get along a few times...like when Cameron and Kensie said I had to act like a girl to play with them. Or the time we told Kensie she couldn't play transformers because she was a girl. But the moms and dads told us to knock it off and include everyone...so we tried.

Every night before bed we had a fire and ate smores.

I love smores...a lot!

Our first whole day at Chelan we went to a water park.

They had little kid slides...

...even Cooper could go down them.

and they had big slides and slides with tubes.

Every one had so much fun!

The next 2 days we played in the lake. 

we fished

used the paddle board

and just had a whole lot of fun!

It was a very busy 3 weeks and I pretty much loved every minute of it!

and in case you are wondering...Cooper turned 11 months old while we were there...one more month and he'll be 1 year old...that's just silliness!

Camping with mom's family...without mom

Me and dad got to ride on an airplane.

We went to Washington.

We camped by a lake.

Mom couldn't go "because of the baby".

But most of her family was there.

And I had the best time ever.

I swam.

and fished.

and rode on the tube.

I even got to drive Grandpa's boat.

The best part of the trip was all the fun I had with my cousins.

especially Kensie.

Kensie was very brave...she skied on the skimmer.

Dad tried to get me to do it...but I said no.

That's ok.

Cause Kensie didn't care that I didn't ski...but she was very proud of herself.

You can call us Rock stars.

When we weren't playing and playing...we were relaxing.

Uncle Steve is very silly.

I sure wish we didn't live so far away from each other.

It was a super fun week.

I didn't want to leave.

BUT...I was very happy to see mom.

At bedtime I asked mom when we could go camping again...

she says that maybe next year we can go...

and we can even bring our baby!

He took my silver H car.

This is my uncle "Stevie".

I REALLY love him

He tried to "rock-paper-zizzors" me for my new H car...

but I won! You should try and play me...I always win:)

THIS....is my Uncle Steve...

I have a lot of fun when I am with him...

and I talk about him ALL the time when I am not with him!

He is a very nice uncle...and not only does he play with me A LOT...

but he taught me how to count (see here)

and he makes me laugh all the time...

Steve is a pretty cool guy and I REALLY love him A LOT...this is Steve singing "Steve's song"...I watch this video EVERY day about 20 times...you should watch it too...it's really good!

I'm real glad that Steve is my uncle...

he is the coolest guy...see?!

another day...another beach!

We took another ride to go to the Tillamook cheese factory...this time I got to ride with ZZ.

I didn't have any cheese...but I did get some delicious ice cream...

Then we went to Cannon Beach...

Uncle Steve tried out the skim board...

then he helped ZZ build a sand castle...

I wanted one too, so daddy built me a castle and then I...

jumped on it!

mommy took me exploring and we saw hermit crabs and LOTS of starfish...

I had a lot of fun at Cannon beach...and even though I got very wet and sandy...I didn't mind.

and after we were all done...mommy let me pee in the bushes...shhhh, don't tell anyone!
