Thanksgiving Trip to Zion

ON our way to Zion National Park for Thanksgiving, we stopped a few times to stretch our legs. We are at a park in Mesquite here:

Giving Daddy a big hug :)

It's raining leaves!
Yay! This is where we had out Thanksgiving buffet! It was delicious! Our waitress was really nice too. She had this magical way about her... she ran her hand over my forehead and across the top of my hair for a while and put me into a hypnotic state. I really liked her!

In the lobby.

All bundled up and rady to go outside!

Here is a slide show of all our pics from the trip:

I played with rocks and sticks for the first time the week before thanksgiving. Mommy did too.

Brookside Park with Alex and Adam

Playdate at Brookside PArk this afternoon with Alex and Adam.

Weeeeee!! If Mommy didn't stop me and make me sit down at the top of the slide, I would try to just walk right down. Mommy says I don't have any fear... or any depth perception.

Peek a boo, Adam!

Adam and Alex clapping, while I...

Threw wood chips around.

Sylvan Park

Mommy and I went to Gourmet Pizza today with our friends. Then we went to Sylvan Park!

This is me when I was running away from Mommy, which I love to do! He he heeee, she's coming to get me!

Here are my buddies and me playing ball!

I tried to pick them both up, but it didn't work...

Mommy asked me "Where is Alex", so I showed her!

It's a race to get the ball!!!
I win!!

Here you go, Trent.

I love my blue ball!

Being upside down is so much fun!

Love this new toy!! (alex and trent didnt seem to like it so much though)

Thanksgiving Potluck Playdate

My friends and I celebrated Thanksgiving today at Sophia's house.

This is us at the end of the day having tea...

Sophie, Trent, me, Alex and Megan.

And these are our handprint turkeys!

Alex, me, Megan, Trent and Sophia.

We hd tons of fun playing with all sorts of fun toys. I especially liked the shopping cart, the balls of course, the big puzzles with knobs, and the books! I didnt mind getting the paint on my hand too much, but I will say when Mommy put finger pants on my hand an arm and belly in the tub last night, I was NOT a fan of that!

Anyway, thanks Yvette for hosting our party and Ashley for the turkey handprints! We all had an awesome time!!

Playing

I like my ball pit, but I especially like to throw all the balls OUT of the ball pit so I can play around in the ball pit and be a big goofball! Mommy says I really need to learn how to "clean up". I don't know what that means, but I don't like the sounds of it!

I had lots of fun dancing with Grover tonight too! Please check out my dancing video below!
