An Asheville Christmas

We had a lovely trip to Asheville for Christmas. I loved taking hikes around the lake and finding lots of treasures. My jacket pocket is packed with all my treasures. We found a real treasure box floating in the lake full of someones personal documents and items. Mommy and Daddy called the police after opening the box and turned it over to them. It was apparently from someone who’s house was burglarized a few weeks back.

I enjoyed extra snuggle time with anyone that would snuggle me. Uncle Bronson was always willing.

We lit a huge fire and played up in our fort for a while.

Pre Chirstmas Trip to Ohio

I was so excited to take a plane trip to Ohio versus being stuck in the car for 18 hours. The Tampa airport had a really nice play area. We climbed and snacked on breakfast until it was time to leave.

Ohio brought us cold weather. We hoped for snow each day. But enjoyed the warm house and the company of Great Granny and Grandma Susie.

I helped fill bird feeders and do other chores with Grandma Susie.

A little snow came down in the morning.

IMG_1923

Just enough that I was able to make a few small small balls.

IMG_1925

I threw this one at Mommy.

IMG_1929

We scraped the snow off of all of the bushes and trash cans we could find.

I convinced Mommy to pull me around int he sled in the DEEP DEEP snow.

A bit more in the evening.

It was super cold out so we did lots of projects inside. Grandma Susie found this huge pinecone. We had fun turning it into a bird feeder.

IMG_1946

Grandma Susie hung it up and the squirrels came and had a nice snack.

IMG_1950

We baked and decorated cookies.

IMG_1956

The next day it warmed up a bit and then cooled off quickly. Little icicles formed on the bushes and we picked them all off and took them inside to play with.

We spent a day at the YMCA playing in the indoor play area and then swimming.

IMG_1970

MOmmy painted out fingernails and toenails silly colors. I picked sparkling green.

IMG_1979

We had an evening of slime creations.

IMG_1981

We played lots of games and did lots of puzzles.

Playground Antics

I turned into an alien at the playground.

IMG_1866

It was obviously abnormally dry out for Florida. I found it very funny that my hair kept going all crazy. I made Mommy take lots of pictures so I could see my hair.

IMG_1879

Can you see my new fashion? I wore my dinosaur pajamas with blue shorts over them. I refused to change out of the pajamas so I just dressed over them. Mommy thought it was cute.

Busch Gardens Fun

Having fun at the Creature Critters show. I like to see all the different animals. After the show we got to pet some of the cats and dogs.

IMG_1851

I loved the puppy!

IMG_1853

A train ride around the Savannah is my favorite part of Busch Gardens.

IMG_1859

We were climbing on the rocks to get a better view of some giraffes. Mommy was taking pictures.

IMG_1861

I tried to sneak up on Breighton and scare him.

IMG_1863

He stepped backwards onto my hand. Super sad!

IMG_1864

Don’t worry I recovered quickly and we enjoy lots more animals that day.
