Bye Bye Poppy & Nonna

I had a great time in Maryland with Poppy and Nonna. I miss them so much! Thank you for everything. Here is me with Poppy and Nonna at the Detroit airport letting them go onto their next flight.

Out and About

A lot going on with me over the last couple of days. This is me visiting my great grandmother.
Me and Nonna are great puzzlers. We finished the puzzle. It was 100 pieces long.
The next day I drove the truck. Then came Monday, the first day of camp. I was a little excited but nervous. The first day we did faces made out of pinch pots and collected rocks and shells and treasure. I went back to the beach after lunch and collected some cool rocks and some beach glass. Then the teacher read a book about art and I was picked up by Gayle, Sara's grandmother.

The next day we went on a nature walk and collected flower and leaves to draw. We drew them and then painted them with water colors. Then I played with Sara. Then we ate dinner and watched the first Harry Potter movie.

Pure Fun

I drove the truck and then I ate dinner and went to bed.
The next morning I ate breakfast. I had hard boiled eggs for breakfast.

This is me washing an egg.

Then I made cookies with Nonna. They were chocolate chip cookies.

Here's me making cookies with Nonna

Then I went to an African dance with Nonna.

These are the African dancers.

After the dancing I went over to Sara's house to play. Her grandmother loves dogs and cats. She had four dogs and a couple of cats.Then me and Sara went to the fair together with Nonna and Poppy. When we got to the fair we ate dinner.

Us eating dinner

Then we saw the horses, cows, goats and chickens.

Here I am in the chicken farm

Then I climbed the Tiki Bar:

Here I am starting


Part way up

I touched the top from here

This is me core jumping:

Then I talked Sara into doing the greased pig chase.We had to grease our hands and then catch the pig by its back legs.

This is us with goo on our hands

Catching the pig was hard to do. Although we didn't win we still had fun. Here's a video of me and Sara chasing the pig. I'm in the blue shirt and Sara is in the yellow shirt.

After the greased pig run we got blue Hawaiian sluchies

and watched people ride the mechanized bull.
















After all the excitement we took Sara home and went home ourselves. Hope you liked this post. I'll write again soon.

PS I'm reading the Magic Tree House series and have finished books 1 through 6 already. I'm still interested and have the next 6 books in the series.

Just Today

I watched the osprey chick using a telescope. Here I am watching the osprey chick.
Then I went to lunch and had nachos and a root beer float. after lunch I went to the Dollar Store and got a package of everlasting gob stoppers. Then I came home, played on the computer and read. I made a little presentation. Unfortunately the battery died in the camera so it didn't come out. I just want you to know that I miss you guys and love you and watch my blog for more.

Friends

Today we got breakfast and went to see great grandma and had lunch at Skipjack. Then we picked up Sara from her horse riding camp and first we talked Poppy into doing us a treasure hunt.

Here we are reading the first clue.

Of course I knew all the spots and was always running ahead.
Next we played with the little animal toys.
Here we are creating funky animals.

After that we played bingo. We had a tie after 8 games. We ate dinner and then she had to leave. I enjoyed having her over.

To Bella From Grace

Grace really misses her sister and wanted to create this video for her.

The Great Outdoors

First we had breakfast (I had a blueberry bagel). Well first I woke up but that's too boring. Then I played store with the receipt typer that Poppy and Nonna have.


Then I worked on my trail. We raked it and snipped trees that were in the way.

Me and Nonna snipping trees

I decorated the deck with all trees around it. It was like a forest. It looked very beautiful.

Me and the decorations after they are all finished.













After creating a little foresty like porch, I collected two frogs. The first one's name is Freddy and the second one's name is Jump. Jump liked to jump a lot and Freddy looked really really happy. We had to force Freddy out he liked it so much. Once he was out he was still. Poppy had to give him a little head start. Here's a picture of me looking at Freddy. Unfortunately I don't have some of Jump.

Me and Freddy

For dinner I made Pizza. Sty tuned for my next post.

Water Boggie

Like the last ready set laugh post, every time I'm getting better and better. It was my first full day in Maryland. My first trip was visiting great grandma. The second trip was the most delicious of all, the ice cream store where I had superman ice cream. I don't like the name of it but it is good. Netflix came in the mail just in time so we had a movie night. We saw "Anne of Green Gables." She was very very talkative and Poppy was cracking up back there.

The next day (today) I went to the beach and played with my new best friend Sarah and had lunch with her. We had so much fun that I didn't want to leave. Here's us in the water.





I read a whole book on the way to the beach and back. It was called "Dinosaurs Before Dawn." Later in the day I went kayaking. Here's a picture of Nonna and me rafted up together.

Here I am paddling in action.

Ready, Set, Laugh

It's Poppy's birthday dinner. Mom and Aunt Sara are giving their speech about Poppy.

Here's what the table looked like before dinner.

The dinner was so delicious, especially the dessert. We had buffalo, soup, salad, and corn bread all home made - yum yum! Here are pictures of the me and the littles making dessert and what one looked like at the end.

After dinner we had a little surprise for Poppy. This is the part they gave me and made everyone laugh.

Grace breakdancing!

The littles and me dancing - Hey Poppy!

Here is a short video of all the grandkids dancing with Poppy.

The next day, on Friday, we went to an American Indian Pueblo also known as a village. It had all kinds of caves up in the mountains. We actually got to go up in them.

Here I am in a house in a mountain in a Pueblo.

Here I'm climbing back down.

The next day was sad. We were leaving. When in came that time there was sadness and I was sad. I know we'll have a great time next year. I took a plane to Maryland with Nonna and Poppy and we arrived safely after midnight. Mom if you're reqading this, don't worry, I slept in.

Ready, Set, UP

Wednesday I saw the biggest sight of my life.

My captian was a movie star. His name was Johnny. His movie is called Crazy Hearts and is coming in 2010. Here we are getting the baloon set up. Once up I got in the basket.

Then we were off. We were so high I couldn't believe it. We almost crashed into a mountain but we missed it.

The ride was great. I've never had anything like it. It's such a crazy experience and Johnny was such a great driver and so funny. I, in fact, got to drive the baloon by myself. Then we landed with a big bump. the basket almost tipped over! But it was still fun.
Stay tuned for my next post 'Ready, Set, Laugh.'

The Pictures From Before

These are the pictures from the last few days.

This is a picture of the Bella Donna

Me and Ella in the bubble!

The best picture ever!!!!!!!

Tire Running

Hope you enjoy ready set up coming soon.

Santa Fe is Great!

We played basketball in the back yard and ate leftovers for dinner. We went to two museums, the O'Keefe museum and the children's museum. The children's museum was really cool. You could pull a rope and go up in a classroom chair. There was one tire that was filled with bubble soap. You pull a rope and you are incisde the bubble. We found a secret trail between the museum and I jumped from tire to tire. The Georgia O'Keefe museum had wonderful, beautiful paintings all around the museum that she painted. I found one that was called Bella Donnna. Ella and I bought posters of this picture and some postcards and a notebook. Stay tuned for my next blog called 'Ready, Set, Up!'

Finally Here

I'm finally in Santa Fe with Poppy, Nonna, Ella, Sara and Wes and my family, of course. The plane ride wa tought but I'm finally here. I've been here two days ond one night and I'm enjoying it. I'm sleeping in my own queen size bed and the littles are sleeping in two twin beds and the grown ups are sleeping in big beds. I will post some pictures later. Stay tuned for my necxt post.
