Glad I got my shades - it sure is BRIGHT out here!

The Luxurious Life

Tweet

My Uncle J picked us up in Eugene and drove us to Roseburg, where we spent Monday night. On Tuesday we got our car and drove to Redmond, OR, where we stayed at Eagle Crest Resort. It was snowing when we drove over the pass – my very first snow – but I was sleeping during it. So does it count?

The resort is in the Oregon High Desert. Right now it is very green and pretty. There was a huge deer on the front lawn when we arrived, and there are lots of geese and goslings. Here’s a photo of the canyon outside our condo.
What a luxurious life – here I am on my big bed and then in a bubble bath.
We went shopping one day – Mommy went to Victoria Secret to get Audra’s wedding present while Daddy and I ate a hot dog. Then we bought me a pair of Ray Bans!
The next day Uncle J came with G and G's mommy Auntie E. Here I am swinging with G. This was my first time alone on a swing – it was fun!
We rode on my skateboard together, too.
On Friday, Daddy and Uncle J played golf. They don’t let kids like me on the course here for liability reasons. That’s dumb. Do they think I’m going to hurt somebody?

Then Mommy went with E to the resort spa to get a massage, facial, and herbal body wrap. They didn’t take me to that either. I did get to go swimming, though.

Then on Sabbath we went to Smith Rock, a world-renown rock climb spot.
Here’s Daddy on the rock:
Everybody got to climb except me. Here I am in my harness climbing the steps, though.
Then we drove back to Roseburg. I was awake this drive and got to see snow, even though it wasn’t snowing.

To the Island

After the LOOOOONG airplane ride, I got to sit in a car instead. Looking pretty chipper, eh?

Here’s what I saw of Seattle. Pretty cool, eh?
It is really cold here.

So after we landed in Seattle, we checked out Target to get me a car seat for our rental car. While there, Daddy decided to get a camera as well. That’s the camera taking all these pictures.

Then we stopped at T Mobile to get cards for our cell phones. I LOVE phones – all the demo phones were heavenly! Here I am checking them out.

While there, I set off the alarm on the cell phone case. Then I hit the panic button on the car keys. I am making a nam. . . noise for myself wherever I go!

We stopped at a Taco Bell to grab some food. I was so tired, I barely got a few bites of my gordita in before I passed out.

The next thing I knew, we were at my Uncle E and Auntie B’s house in Burlington. It was REALLY late, but my cousin K got up and we played with Midnight. I love kitties!
I slept from about 2 a.m. to 6:30 a.m., then got up and ate Cheerios for the first time! Here I am with my cousin B.
Unfortunately, my cousins had to go to school, so I hugged them goodbye. Then I watched the fish.

Then Mommy & Daddy & I drove up to Canada (my 6th country) and caught the ferry going to Vancouver Island.

Here I am at the playground waiting for the ferry. I never knew there could be so many fun things to play on! You don't get playgrounds like this in Mozambique.

We did a little shopping while waiting for the ferry. Should I get these or not?

We grabbed some salad that we then ate on the ferry. I liked the pasta noodles best of all.

Here are some pictures of me with Mommy and Daddy on the ferry.



There was a really cool slide on the ferry – here are some pictures of it.
And a video of me climbing up and sliding down. I was a little nervous coming down this time, but it sure was fun!


We spent about two hours on the ferry – then we got in the car again and I fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was dark, and I was in my Grandma & Grandpa’s house. I’ll tell you about that later.
