Grand Canyon

On Tuesday we headed out from Grandma's house and arrived at the Grand Canyon. Mommy decided that yes, indeed, she is still afraid of heights.



When Mommy was five she visited the grand canyon with Mema and Papa. She managed to sleep through most of the canyon. Following in her footsteps, I too slept through most of the Grand Canyon tour. Mom and Dad said it was really pretty.

Have YOU stayed in a WigWam lately?

On our way to Albuquerque we stayed over night in Holbrook, Arizona. Radiator Springs, in the movie Cars, is loosely based around this town.



We ate dinner at this little diner up the street from the wigwams. Yummy Native Tacos with green chilis. Oh boy.

Acoma Pueblo

On Wednesday we left the Wigwams and headed towards Albuquerque. En route we stopped at the Acoma Pueblo. It's a pretty neato place. They have recently built this gorgeous visitors center.

We went by shuttle bus to the pueblo which is situated high up on a Mesa.


This is the view from on top of the mesa.

We paused to have a little family portrait taken. Behind us is the old Pueblod cistern.

I met a cute doggie named chico.

A little boy who lives on top of the mesa.

Then we headed off into the sunset at 45 mph.

Down the Stairs

In our backyard we have a lovely staircase for climbing up and down. the steps are very shallow, which is good for little people like me. My new favorite thing is going up and down them over and over. I gaze out the window at them and say "steps" while I am inside.

I am also becoming good at imitating. Here is my surprised face.

Tea for Two

I had a lovely tea this morning with Mr. Lion. We chatted, and I offered him some of my cheerios.

Budding Artist

I created this masterpiece I like to call "A Study in Circles".

Nothin' much

At Last

The weather was finally warm enough for us to wear t-shirts and play outside. You would never know we had a snow storm two weeks ago and a Nor'Easter one week ago. Ahhhh, spring in Maine. Finicky, but well worth the wait. Elijah and I mixed up a tasty batch of stone soup.

More!

Big Truck Day

Friday was Big Truck Day at the Topsham Library. Mommy and Daddy brought me mostly so that I could see the school bus. I have an obsession with the large yellow vehicles that takes my cousins away and drops them off. I thought it was pretty neat to go on it and look out the window. We even ran into Sacha, Parker, Beckett, and Gwendolyn while we were there.
