Go West, Young Man!

On Sunday, Mommy and I embarked on a great adventure out west. It involved airplanes, cougars, castles and beaches. Okay, so the cougars were behind a gate at the Cougar Mountain Zoo...and the castle may have been on the small side...playground size (but it did have a cool slide!). The beach was less like a beach and more like a sandbox in my buddy's backyard. But the airplane, that was 100% real and I was flying in it! I've flown in airplanes before, but I was little then and didn't really understand what was going on. This time, I was totally on board with the whole flying thing!

So, why was I on a plane? We flew to Seattle to visit Mommy's best friend, Dana, and her little girl, Natalie. Dana (Aunt D as I like to call her) is pregnant with my next newest buddy, a little girl that we like to call Baby Girl 2.0. She is having kind of a rough pregnancy and Mommy thought that my pretty smile and big brown eyes might make her feel better. I think it worked, but unfortunately that baby girl thought I was so cool that she kept wanting to get out to see me. I said, "No baby, you keep baking. Your Mommy will tell you when it's time to come out and play". Get used to it, kid, Mommies tell you when to do EVERYTHING!

We spent four days in the beautiful Northwest--playing in parks, going to the zoo, taking walks, and spending quiet afternoons reading books in Natalie's room. We had so much fun! Natalie and I got to be even better friends. In fact, I think it's safe to say that we're officially "Best Buds"--just like our Mommies!

FUN TIMES!
