Arizona Fun

Well my travel schedule has again picked up.

This time I jetted off to Arizona. At this juncture it might be prudent for mommy to sign me up for my own frequent flier miles so hopefully one of these flights I can get bumped to first class (I totally deserve the pampering). And I'm sure all the folks in first class would have been receptive to the 20 minute screaming fit I had on the way to Arizona - good times for all.

I decided to abort my afternoon nap so I guess I was a little cranky :) Mommy handled it like a trooper and actually laughed. I overheard her telling the person sitting next to us that it's times like this she wished she had a lolly-pop stashed in the bag. Hopefully she'll learn from her mistakes and keep these more handy. You know--for the sake of others :)

The trip was planned to meet all my aunts and cousin for a ladies weekend (hey, wait a minute... how did I get suckered into that???) and celebrate Grandma's birthday. I had so much fun. Those gals sure know how to spoil me with attention and also give mommy a lot of breaks. I learned to say everyone's name (translations below):

Grandma (Chicki) = Kick-key
Therese = teece
Maureen = reen
Patty = addy
Kerrianne = kee-kee

Here are a couple of shots of me and "Kick-Key" walking around the golf course behind her house. She was showing me all sorts of things, including the moon which was out during the day! I shouted "MOO" at the top of my lungs when I saw it. Then me and "Kick-Key" decided to play football! Just kidding, but doesn't it look like we are about to huddle up? Pretty funny if we were--what a team we'd make!

On Sunday, we went to church where my Great Uncle Mickey said mass. My daddy's Uncle George and Aunt Zita met us there and they even sat in the cry room with me and mommy! It was fun to spend some time with them, even if it was during the mass. I was a bit more "active" than the other kids in the room so mommy took me for a walk in the back of the church.

We made our way up to the balcony and when mommy prevented me from climbing on top of the people already sitting there I screamed "NO," just at the quietest part of the mass. I think Uncle Mickey was very courteous when he paused the mass just so I could be heard. Needless to say, my "behavior" warranted us stepping outside so I got to run around on the lawn and play in the sunshine (boy, bad behavior is really "punishable" isn't it...hee hee). Aunt Patty chased me around and helped me climb a tree.

After mass we all ate breakfast together at the church pancake breakfast and got to visit more with Uncle Mickey, Uncle George and Aunt Zita. Here is a snap from after the mass--me and mommy w/Uncle George and Aunt Zi.

I got to spend another couple of hours hanging out before we packed our gear and took off. I was very good on the plane ride home and was really excited to see daddy when we landed.

Another successful trip logged!
