I can draw!

I am quite the little artist these days! I love drawing! I did this piece actually when we were camping at Waldo - my parent's just got a scanner so am able to share it now! Doesn't it look like a monkey riding a skate board? And on the right you can see how I make tiny swirls. On the bottom is a cool thing that resembles a cocoon. My parents are so impressed with me!!

Camping at Waldo Lake

Today is my 18 month birthday!!! We celebrated my Poppa's 31st birthday (Aug 23rd) & my big day today by going camping! We had a blast at Waldo Lake & just came home this afternoon! My Pappy Dan, Cousin Marcus & my Uncle Jason also joined in the fun! Here are a few pics. I hope you all are enjoying the end of summer, thanks for checking out my blog!!

I had a great time exploring nature - every other minute I was discovering new rocks, sticks, Pine cones, moss, animals & noises!! I was in constant amazement!

What a beautiful lake!

Enjoying the sunset with my Poppa, Pappy Dan & Marcus

Happy Birthday Poppa - Uncle Jason brought a cake & we had a party!

Kayaking with Poppa!

And, with Momma too!

Feeding Uncle Jason - he needs a little help eating sometimes.

Swimming - the water was cold but I still had fun!

Check out this huge rock - I tried to lift it.

Checking out the rocks on the shore & trying to get in the water.

At the amphitheatre for a picture with my mom.

Eating! We ate some yummy food & I loved eating outside!

There were lots of trees to hug!

In the tent!!

Taking my afternoon siesta with Cookie Monster & bunny!

Time to go home...
