A very long good day.

Leave a reply

This weekend we all went up to Copper and Vail.

First we waited at a finish line in Copper for Uncle Anders to ride past on his bike.

image

We clanged these bells at bikers as they finished. I don't know why.

image

It was exciting when we finally spotted Uncle Anders crossing the finish line.

image

He biked 78 miles, which is a lot. He let me sit on his bike, but probably only because he was sick of sitting on it.

Then we drove up to Vail to walk around.

image

Me, dad, Uncle Anders, Grandma, and Grampy! Just walking around Vail.

image

Mom told me that she and dad had their picture taken at this very spot while they were on their honeymoon.

We stopped for some play time in the water.

image

The water was quite chilly at first.

image

There is nothing as refreshing as wading in a mountain stream.

image

Well, okay, maybe this is just as refreshing as wading in a mountain stream.

On the way home we had dinner at the best pizza joint, ever. It was a perfect ending to a very long good day.

image

Beau Jo's Pizza. Apparently it is a mountain classic. As am I.

miPhone.

I finally succeeded in capturing an iPhone.

image

This is a picture renactment of the great iPhone heist.

But once I got it, I didn’t know what to do with it. So I chewed on it and gave it back.

Mom knew what I had done. Apparently I left behind some evidence.

image

This could have been anyone!

image

But this one was rather incriminating.

Silly accidental self-takes. I almost got away with it.

Iscream

Mom and dad got ice cream cones the other day and thought they would get away with giving me a little tiny taste.

image

I let them know the error of their ways.

image

Fortunately, the situation was mended.

image

And, yes, dad did have to give up the last few inches of his cone. And, yes, I did turn into a sticky mess.

Welcome to parenthood, guys.

Ice and Skating.

I got to do something very special this morning. I went ice skating with dad for the first time!

image

The penguin on my shirt is also skating.

image

I actually skated for real. In socks.

image

We even did a press lift! Mom wasn't as enthusiastic about it as I thought she would be.

On the way home I heard the story of how that was the rink where mom and dad met. Sounds both romantic and cold, but I love that story now.

Aquarium.

My cousin Ty had his birthday party at a place called the aquarium. It is a place with a lot of fish behind glass walls.

In the glass tunnel looking at the fish.

Cousin Ty got to put on a suit with flippers and swim behind the glass. We stood in a glass tunnel and watched him.

image

Grampy and Uncle Andy watching Cousin Ty.

I thought the fish were very interesting, as was watching Tyler swim, but the best part was banging my hands on the glass and shouting.

image

Grandma loved pointing out the fish to me.

Mom says I can go swimming at the aquarium for my birthday someday if I want to. She laughed and said that it will be the first of many things I will want to do just because Cousin Ty did it. Apparently he does some very fun things. But, for now, happy eighth birthday Cuz.

Food.

Leave a reply

For the last couple of months mom and dad having been giving me this thing called solid food. 

image

At first mom suited me up and spooned mushy green stuff into my face.

image

It was tedious and, well, mushy.

image

So mom decided to allow me to just eat whatever they were eating.

image

So now I eat awesome food like this.

image

And most recently, the traditional family meal, cottage cheese pancakes.

It seems natural that babies should eat real solid food with their own fingers, even if most of it ends up on the floor.

Twizzle agrees.
