My Holiday Trip South
Thursday, February 04, 2010

We went down south for the holidays to see family and I was so excited!  We went on a boat and an airplane to get there.  The ferry wasn't as much fun because Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me run around but the airplane was cool.  I wasn't scared because we were driving into town and saw the skyroad that the airplanes fly on right by the sun and clouds.  Flying horses go on the skyroads too.

When we got down Auntie Molly and Uncle Chester picked us up and I was happy to see them. Then we got to James and Travis's house but it was time for bed.  In the morning I got to play with them. I was so happy to see them!  We played all morning and then Mommy and Daddy went to the temple and we played somemore. Auntie Molly took us to see Frosty and some other cool things. After we met back up with Mommy and Daddy Mommy's Mommy and Daddy took us to Canada. I rode with Mommy and Fox and the girls, Auntie Amanda and Nana.  We had fun. 

Our time in Canada was short but very busy. We were always going and doing something!  I was tired alot but still excited to be there and play.  I loved playing princess with auntie Holly, Making cookies with Nana and Uncle Michael, just playing games with Uncle Michael, Playing with Auntie Amanda, Seeing the pets and playing with Papa and seeing Uncle Grant and Matt.  I saw new places and ate yummy foods. I saw my Great Grandma and at first I was scared but then I had fun with her and shared pie with her.  We videotaped alot and took pictures of our early Christmas there. We hung stockings and Santa filled them. We opened presents and stockings and got so many fun new toys and clothes.  I played with Uncle Michael and Fox for hours with them.  We had a yummy fun Christmas dinner and then it was time to go back to Washington.  I was really sad to leave but I knew we'd see more family and hopefully see Mommy's family in Canada again soon. they are going to come see me soon I know it.

Uncle Gary drove us down to Auntie Molly's house  early so Daddy could have his back cracked by Frosty.  Daddy's cousin Dean is a chiropracter.  We got there and saw Frosty again.  I played with Frosty's daughter Kara, Jamie, Travis and Fox. We had so much fun running around and playing.  Soon they had to go to bed and Uncle Chester drove us to Nana and Papa's house.

We had alot of fun staying with Nana and Papa playing with all the toys and our cousins.  I liked going on walks and playing with the puppy.  Mommy and Daddy went out alot but I didn't care cause I was having so much fun with Jamie, Travis, and Nana and Papa.

Christmas we got dressed up to go to a party.  Mommy curled my hair and I didn't want her to.  I made goofy faces and couldn't wait to have them out.  The party was fun I played with all the kdis there. Alot of kids were there.  I played with Hadley , James, and Travis the most.  Hadley is my age and a girl, it's fun to have a girl to play with.  We saw Santa and I didn't really want to take a picture with him but I did for a candy cane. I ran and hid in the farthest part of the really big house the party was in.  Mommy found me though and made me come for pictures. We stayed late at the party and went hoem to bed. The next morning was Christmas morning and James and Travis came over with Auntie Molly and Uncle Frank. We all opened presents and I got fairy wings!  We went on a  fun walk and played with rocks and sticks. I tried to blow the moon away cause I didn't want the day to end.  Breaking ice puddles was fun too.  Then we had a yummy dinner with lots of people, I didn't really care I just wanted to play with my cousins. I like Christmas but not this Santa Claus.

There was no snow in Washington and that was weird. I missed the snow and started wanting to go home again. I did love playing with everyone though.  We went to parks and for lots of walks and just spent alot of fun time together. We ate yummy foods and had good times, but then it was time to go home.

Papa drove us to the airport very very early in the morning.  We waited around for 2 hours and I wanted to walk around a bit but listened to Mommy when she said to sit and relax.  We were on the airplane a long time and that was pretty boring.  I colored and stuff but we were grounded for a long time in the middle of our flight.  I did get to play a bit in Ketchikan in the airport playplace with fox and another lil boy for a bit.  Generally though it was boring and tiring. When we flew into Juneau I knew we were in Alaska and I was so excited and told Daddy.  Mommy and Fox couldn't sit with us on the plane.

We got our car and tried to go to church but Daddy and me fell asleep in the meeting so Mommy said we had to leave. We went to the Huntsman's for dinner and stayed the night there. I watched Cinderella with their daughter. They were nice people. Then we went to bed. 

We had to get up early again to go home on the ferry. The boat was delayed so we drove around and napped in the car. Had a pretty yummy breakfast and went on the ferry home. I had more fun this time and played with Daddy on deck or just went for walks with him.  He stuffed me in a locker once but I kinda liked it and we made it game. Mommy was sleeping with Fox but she walked with me a bit and we had fun too. It was good to be home.
