Big Weekend in Powers

My bashful face...

We drove all the way down to Powers, OR this weekend (where my pa grew up) because my dad was in a wedding and to see my cousins. I slept 5 hours on the way down, and then on the ride home I wasn't really tired so I communicated that to my mom and dad and they were nice to stop 6 times so I could get a snack and get out of my carseat. I let them know when I was ready to stop, and cried most of the way to let them know I wanted to do something else besides look at my mirror and play with my baseball. As my grammy Danni says, I'm a great communicator.
I got to swim with my dad and cousins Jazzy and Ave in the big pool. I poo-pooed in my swim diaper so it was nakey swimming for me! It was strange at first- but I figured out what was going on and started kicking. But there were zero smiles; I was too busy concentrating. I'm pretty serious when it comes to mastering my body.

And, all weekend long I played and played with my cousins and Auntie and Uncle. Ave promised he would teach me how to ride a bike and skateboard, and Jazzy was my second mother. I shared all my secrets with Jazzy and we would talk and talk. Auntie Kat is crazy fun and loves on me so much and gives me motorboats on my tum-tums, which I love! And, Uncle Breck has the biggest arms and is so gentle... everytime he picked me up I melted and fell into a deep sleep. Boy, I love those guys.
