Utah grandparents came to town

Mimi and Papa were here for a week at the end of August.  You probably said 'Mimi' and 'Papa' about a thousand times that week.  You're quite the chatter box.

The power went out the first night.

We went to your friends Minnie Mouse 1st birthday party.

 We went to a USA party for mom and dad's British friend who just became a citizen.

 We had lunch at the train station.

 You made a new friend, and when he was telling Garrett he didn't want him to leave, you came to G's defense and stood up to the boy.  But you were laughing too hard to be too threatening.

We went to the beach.  I'm so glad you love it now.  And you really, really love it. A little to brave in the ocean for my liking, actually.

 Monsters, Inc. is your favorite movie, and you were pretending to be a monster.

 It was hot and you were tired, but you didn't want to leave.

We went to a street market.  You wanted to hold hands in the car, but I couldn't reach so you settled for my toe.

 We went to Knott's Berry Farm.  You're still too short for most rides, but you still had fun.

 Pretend robbers came on the train ride and told us all to put our hands up.  You were very obedient.

 It was hot.  Wet bandanas saved the day.

 We went to 'Planes'.  You were well behaved, but I don't think you looked at the screen much.

 We went to Parnell Park to see the animals, but spent most of the time trying to get wet.

And we stopped for giant snow cones on the way home.

We stayed busy and had a fun week!

Mimi and Bapa's visit from Utah.

At the beginning of the month, our Utah grandparents visited us for a week.  You loved having them here and you were super cute with them.  You even took a long nap on Bapa's tummy, which he loved.  Unfortunately I only got a picture of you snuggled up with Mimi.

Here's some of the fun things we did during their visit.

Knott's Berry Farm.

 We took you on one little ride that went a little faster than you liked, so you had a tight hold on dad.

 Our little tour guide.

We spent time at the park.  Went out to dinner.  And went shoe shopping, but you were way more interested in the purses and make-up.

We went to the zoo.

 You're so fearless.  You barely waited for Mimi to go down the slide with you.

We went on a bus ride.

We went to the beach.

We raced remote control cars.

It was a full week and you did really well on less sleep than usual.  It seemed to change your nap schedule to just one a day instead of two, but that's ok I guess.
