We Finally Made It To The Shark Reef

My Uncle Chad just turned the BIG 21 so we needed to do something cool to celebrate. We decided to go to the Shark Reef!


They had a really cool touch pool where you could touch sting rays.
Touching one was enough for me.


I got to see a cool komodo dragon. Not quite like my dragon costume but still cool.
He looked right at me.

Hi Grandma!

Back at the dragon.
It was a long day.



In the car on the way home I was nuts I was so tired.

Uncle Chad Came To Play Play Play

My Uncle Chad came to visit. He was a lot of fun, he liked to play all day. He was up for any and all parks we wanted to drag him to. Here he is making friends with me at the park.

Follow the leader. Here we are going around and around in a circle.
We even made it to the new cool park. It isn't close to the house so this is a special treat. It is odd but I was wearing the same outfit as the last time we went. Trust me this is a different trip.

Getting ready to ride the slide with the big dip.
Of course I played in the water and got soaked.Time for a break.

Will He Be A Dragon For Halloween???

Mom thinks I am going to be a dragon for Halloween. When the costume got here I wanted nothing to do with it. Dad tried putting it on me, Mom tried putting it on me and I would scream, say "no" and run away. They are slowly trying to get me to wear the costume by leaving it in the living room and talking about it every day. We will see what I think. Here is a photo and clip of the day they insisted and put it on me objecting and all. I finally just gave in.

Dragons have wings and get to fly.

Finally I Wear My Hat!

We have lived in Las Vegas approx. 8 mos. As you all now it is very hot here in Vegas. Since the beginning Mom has tried to get me to wear my hat to protect me from the sun. I did not like this idea. I would run away and immediately throw my hat off after Mom got it on me. Now finally on our final stretch I have agreed that hats are indeed cool and Ok Mom I will wear it. YAY YAY!!


I am now so fond of my hat that I insisted on wearing into the local pizzaria. I just think it made my outfit. Don't you? I must say I finally caught some great shots of Logan!!! ADORABLE!!

My manners at restaurants is greatly improving. I still don't have a lot of patience for slow kitchens and if the food takes too long GET ME OUT OF THERE. Here I am coloring while I wait.

Ta Da!

Here I am up to my monkey tricks. Dad took this photo before Mom saw and made me get down. I just love to climb!
Still so proud of my conquer. Oh, and Dad picked out my cool duds today.


A New Park!

Dad heard about a new park and we couldnt want to check it out! Here is a photo in front of the maze.

I checked it all out!

The water features were by far the best water features we have found!

The water shot out all over the place. It was sooo cool!
Of course I got soaking wet.

I made it to the top! Don't worry Dad was standing right there but Mom cut him out of the shot.
For awhile I lost my love for slides. I didn't want to go down on my belly anymore like a baby but when I went down like everyone else I always flopped around.
I am back to loving the slide. This one was fun because I caught some air on the big bumps.
A close up on the merry go round.





A Celebration

While Grandpa and G.G. visited the 1 year anniversary of Dad parachuting out of his jet occured and we knew we had to celebrate. Here Dad and Grandpa work together to make a tent out of THE parachute.


Moxie and I couldnt wait to get inside and check it out!


This is a really cool hang out, I think I will take a little break.


Okay back to playing with the cars Grandma sent me.


Why play in the sun when I have this really cool fort to play in?
Dad and Moxie decided it was too cool not to join me.



This is what the scene looked like later after everyone showed up for the BBQ celebration!


The parachute tent/fort was a HUGE hit!!


Just a cute shot of my friend Scarlet and I on a wagon ride together.








Grandpa and Great Grandma"G.G" Visit!

Grandpa and GG came to visit me from Phoenix. Here I am enjoying snuggle time with Grandpa. He read me a new book he brought for me and I LOVE this book. Right now this book, another book he brought me with Trucks, Trains and Rescue Vehicles, and a Pumpkin and Apple book are my favorite books. However, I still just love books no matter which ones. I enjoy reading several times a day and especially just before bed. If Dad is here for bedtime I try and get him to read me more, more, more books!

When Grandpa and GG first arrived they showered me with gifts. Of course Grandma sent some along too. I must say it has been a little over a month since their visit (yes, Mom is way behind on the blog) and every day I still get out my train, my special box of cars, and several of my books they brought me. I also carry around the cute farm animal truck GG gave me. I like to push the button and make the music play on and on and on and on!
Train!
I got to ride with Grandpa on the tram at the Silverton.
I hope GG and Grandpa liked the fish feeding as much as I do. I can't get enough of the fish and all the animals inside the huge outdoor store there.
GG and I hung out together while we waited for the tram to take us back to the car.



Ack Another Hair Cut

Well Logan lasted much longer before bawling this time around. I think this is his 10th haircut but I have lost track. He misses Miss Suzanne and cries now at all his hair cuts. The cool car he got to sit in and the Elmo show he got to watch kept him calm for a little while.

I know I am a terrible Mom for posting the sad photos but I just think he is so cute sad and all!


An Italian Festival In Las Vegas?!

When we read there was an Italian festival coming to town we knew we had to go. Of course it was nothing like what we experienced in Italy. The food was made from vendors so we pretty much ended up getting American food. So sad. However, a good time was had by all. This was definitely a great time for Logan. We also were thrilled we went early. Military got in free which was a nice bonus and when we left the line was so long we definitely would not have survived it. I guess that is Vegas baby, it comes alive at night.
Here Dad one me a very large donkey!
I now enjoy saying "hee haw"
I am not so sure about riding this.
Or this ...
but I loved it once it got going!
Here is the perfect look for the idea that this was an Italian festival. I would just say it was a fair with a few italian T shirt and spaghetti booths.
Here I am taking my time picking the right duck to swim by. I wasn't about to just pick the first duck that swam by. I needed to feel it was just the right duck. Dad waited patiently for my pick and Mom snapped away.
There he is!
Of course I won the larger turtle not the freebie tiny one! Yahoooo I picked the best ducks. Quack quack!
I won, I won!
