Road Trip!!!

This week Mom, Aunt Jenny and I went on a road trip to Dallas to visit Uncle Tom, Aunt Carolyn and cousin Tom (and Boomer and Bailey)!! It was so much fun. Mom and Aunt Jenny said I did really good during the 8 hour drive (well, the drive took 8 hours with a feeding stop and a changing stop...I pooped my diaper 10 minutes after the feeding stop so we had to stop again)! We got to stay at Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Tom's new beautiful house! I just loved it! Tom even has his own playroom...super cool!

I was so excited because we got to play with Grandpa while we were there! He was in Dallas for business but came earlier so he could see all of us! He was so excited to have his grandkids and kids all in the same place! He is so much fun and give such great horsey rides!!! I am so glad we got to play with him!! He even made really good steaks for dinner! I love my grandpa! After dinner we went to the pool. It is a really neat pool with a fountain I am fascinated with! I could stare at that thing for hours!

Monday we all went shopping at a fun outdoor mall. Dallas is sure hot in the summer, but mom and my Aunts made sure we went into lots of shops and walked in the shade to stay cool! My only disappointment was that mom did not buy me anything on this trip...what kind of a vacation is that? Mom and Aunt Jenny were shocked that I would not sleep. I had such a fun day I was too excited to sleep and I wanted to play with Tom! I stayed up until after midnight and then woke up all night long to make sure everyone was okay and still in the room with me!!! I did not get much sleep...mommy and Aunt Jenny looked a little tired too!

I had so much fun playing with my cousin Tom. It is so neat that we are so close in age! I loved to hold his hand and stare at him when he played! He has such fun toys that he was nice enough to share with me! I got to ride Bailey like she was a horse....she is such a big dog! I love Bailey and Boomer!

Tuesday we went to the Little Gym and got to work out where Tom goes a few times a week. It was a little crazy at first and Aunt Jenny could not stop laughing at all the crazy moms and the instructor, but once we got the hang of it it was so much fun! I learned how to do a flip with the help of the teacher, played with bubbles and balls and did all sorts of exercises! We all got such a great work out! I worked up a sweat - if I keep this up my chubby legs will be no longer!!

We went to Fort Worth Tuesday afternoon and ate at a really tasty Mexican restaurant and did a little shopping. Mom finally bought me something!! She got me a cute little pink tutu that she says I will get my picture in! It is pretty cute, but its not a toy! I really want some fun toys like cousin Tom!!

Each night Uncle Tom came home and we got to eat and play with him! He is really funny and I loved to watch him play with cousin Tom!!! He gives good kisses too. I love my Uncle Tom!

Wednesday we got up really early and headed to Dallas. We got to see where they lived before they moved into there house and drive around and looked at all the pretty HUGE homes! We did some shopping and ate lunch at a really tasty Italian restaurant. We even got to go to Sprinkles cupcakes and eat some yummy sweets! That night my Dad came into town!!! Uncle Tom picked him up from the airport and we met them at a Mexican restaurant (Daddy's favorite). It was so cool to see him - I missed him so much! We got to play and catch up...I even tried to tell him about all we did while we were there!!

We came home today. I slept about 5 of the 8 hour drive and am energized right now!!! I had so much fun! Vacations are just a blast...I can't wait until my next one!!!

Love you!

Love,

Kate

After that first video, I think her new nickname should be Tipsy Tumbles! I loved how she smirked like she was doing exactly the opposite on purpose! :)
