Walking Aunt Linda

This picture has nothing to do with "Walking Aunt Linda" ... I just wanted you to see me demonstrate how one can wear a banana as a hat.

Daddy carried me on his shoulders for most of this walk.

This picture show the panoramic view we had on the walk...also the stagnate air we breath in the valley below.

We sat on a bench to watch the sun slip behind the mountains...Aunt Linda is not walking in this picture.

Here is the sun sinking behind the mountains.

On the walk back to the car...I got to actually walk Aunt Linda.

Final shot before we got into the car

Beach: sunset

Mommy, Daddy, and I sat on a rock to watch the sun go down.

I did not sit on the rock for long because I had to explore.

The sunset on the beach was beautiful--none of those pesky mountains in the way--just a few rocks.

Everyone wanted to explore with me.

The water came closer and closer to me--but my Daddy picked me so that the waves would not get me.

Beach: pre-sunset

Mommy brought us some food to eat--I was still working on my ice cream cone.

There were little streams on the beach which I did not avoid walking in.

I found some shells to pull off of the rocks--and got my feet really wet!

Aunt Linda and I liked the beach

I liked climbing on the rocks and splashing in the water by the rocks

I also was making tracks on the beach with my feet--wonderful fun!

I loved the water and the sand--I really did not care that my feet were cold and wet (but my Mommy sure did.)

Thanks for the Trees

Me showing off my teeth, Aunt Linda showing off her teeth, and Mommy with the posed smile in front of the big trees.

Me, Daddy, and Linda with red eyes and big trees

Ceberus, Mommy, Daddy, and Me walking on a path through the big trees.

Me in a sea of green with the trees.

Me still in the same sea--what wonderful trees.

I have no idea what Aunt Linda and Daddy are doing but they look pretty scary...
(and my question is if Mommy is taking the picture and Aunt Linda and Daddy are in the picture--where am I?)

Thanksgiving Hugs

Aunt Linda and I posing--no hugging here

We might not have been caught hugging--but Aunt Linda and I laughed a lot (notice the family eye--my Mom says I can combat this in the future with training in the posed smile)

Here is a hug for second cousin Cameron (me again with the eye)

Here is where I had to strong arm Cameron into a real hug

My Nana is really sweet

Here is my strong arm hug for Nana

A kiss from my Papa--not just a hug

A hug for Papa

I liked the hugging--but my favorite part of the Thanksgiving fun was a snack table just my size (look I am getting to eat whole grapes before my Mom noticed and put the grapes on a table not my size.)

The After Thanksgiving Dinner Walk

Here is my favorite playground--or what is left of it.

Papa and Daddy with Doby the dog

Aunt Linda and I pose--we are really attractive aren't we?

Giving Thanks

Me giving thanks with a grateful heart--I love cranberry sauce!

I tried to stow some sauce in my shirt (not a successful endeavor.)

The turkey I was a little less thankful for...

Here we are at the table...
starting on my right--my Daddy, my Great Grandma, my Great Grandpa, my Second Cousin Cameron, my Aunt Linda (who made the cranberries!! thanks!)

Here is one of my patented forced smiles with Aunt Linda missing and the addition of my Mommy.

Fall Bike Ride

We took a small break to throw some rocks into the river--there I am in my helmet--yes it is blurry.

It does not look that fall like at this place by the river

Another blurry picture--I think Mom might not have liked the way I adjusted the camera.

Daddy and I enjoying a snack together

Here we are again still enjoying the snack

Mommy took this picture to try and get the different fall colors

I fell asleep on the way back home--it is really difficult to get comfortable in a bike trailer.
