Lava Cave!

July 14, 2015

Aunt Helen put a request in for mom to bring her ice cream maker and make homemade ice cream.  I am sure if Aunt Helen didn't put in a request Uncle Jeff would have!  Mom had lots of good help making the ice cream.  Here we are putting the ice in the maker!

Sydney and I laid down on Aunt Sarah!  I hope we didn't squish her.  

One of the things I was most excited about at Sunriver was I got to bring my new big frozen bike.  I worked hard getting ready for Sunriver, so, I would be able to ride on the paths.  This morning, we wanted to ride, so, we got on our bikes and rode around and around in front of the house!

I got to bring my balance bike and rode around in front of the house too.  For every one trip around the loop I made, McKenzie would ride about 7!  It was fun to get to ride my bike!

Granpy, Sydney, and I had a great time riding together!

We headed to the Lava Cave to go and explore the cave!  I am all ready with my dinosaur sweatshirt, Sydney's long pants, and my lantern.  It is cold and dark in there!

Sydney, Wyatt, and I are ready for an adventure.  

As we went through the cave, we each had to have an adult to hold onto.  I choose Grammy!  We had a fun time together!

I chose mom or mom chose me.  I was happy to get packed through the lava tunnel and mom was happy to keep me close and not lose me in the dark tunnel.  I was very very quiet as we walked through the tunnel, so, mom was not sure what I really thought of it, but I said I had fun!

A picture of a group of us along the way.  

It was sure cold in the tunnel and I told mom, "next time we should bring my gloves."  Mom thought it was a good idea!

When we found our way out of the lava tunnel we found a picnic table for lunch and to warm up!

Granpy and I had a great time eating together!

I got a Cheeto and I am pretty thrilled about it!  It was sure a fun adventure we had this morning!

That afternoon, we took naps while the rest of my cousins went to the pool.  When we woke up we played a little "spot it" with Grammy

I had to put this in because Makayla's facial expression is priceless!

Mommy told us that for a special activity, since we took naps, when dad got to the house after work we would all go out on a family bike ride.  I really wanted to try the tagalong that they had at the house, so, daddy and I went on a ride together.  Mom pulled Makayla in the bike stroller and we had a great family ride!

Mom wanted to get a picture of Dad and I on the bike when we got back to the house, so, we took a lap around.  

Well, we ended up taking a couple of laps around, so, mom could get her pictures!  I was more than happy to get a couple of extra laps in!

It was sure a fun way to spend the evening. 

When we got back it was time to enjoy our homemade ice cream!

I think Daddy wanted to try a bite of our ice cream, but we sure weren't going to share!

I love ice cream!

Biking to the park!

This morning while we were getting ready for our shower, mom took my diaper off and standing there I told her that, "I needed to pee", so, she quickly put me on the potty and I went pee in the potty for the first time.  This is the second time, I went pee on the potty.  I thought I was ready to go and start wearing underwear.  It only lasted for about 3/4 of a day and than I stopped and started wearing my diaper again.  

Aunt Helen brought bunny crackers and cookies and they were a perfect treat for going potty!

Micah, Makayla, and me had another rousing game of go fish, but this time with Granpy!

We all got onto our bikes and are ready to take on the Sunriver bike baths!

We are all lines up and ready to race to the park.  Okay, so we didn't race, but we did all bike to the park!

I had fun rocking the animal back and forth whatever it was!

Any guesses on what it might be?

I got on the other one and had fun rocking!

Micah and I got on the ropes course merry-go-round.  We had fun spinning around and around and around together!

I climbed up and now I am twirling down!

Grammy and I had fun at the park together!

Sydney, Wyatt, and me had a great time being pushed by Granpy on the tire swing!

The other kids were swinging back and forth on the little zip line and I wanted to join in the fun.  Aunt Helen helped me across.  It was a wild ride!

Oh the faces I make!  Thanks for the help Aunt Helen!

I loved it so much, that later I talked Grammy into helping me across.  

A sweet little kiss on the cheak for Uncle Scott!

I wanted to go on the merry-go-round, so, mom gave me to Sydney, so, she would keep me safe while we spun around.  Us girls had a lot of fun!

I love to swing and can swing for a long time.  Grammy was nice and pushed me for a while!

Then Sydney did a great job of pushing me!  It was sure a fun time at the park.  We got back on our bikes and biked back home!

Then, we headed over to the SHARC, which, is the aquatic center in Sunriver.  I was excited to get to do some swimming!

There was a little slide that I had a good time shooting out of.

Like I said it shoots you right out!

Since, Dad was at work, mom really appreciated having Aunt Helen there to help keep an eye on us with her.  We had fun swimming.  We didn't get to swim very long before a thunderstorm rolled in and they cleared the pool.  We ran through quite the hail and torrential down pour to get to our cars.  I think it got us even wetter than swimming in the pool!

That night for dinner Uncle Jeff and Aunt Susan made us a Chinese dinner.  We started out with some yummy pot stickers for an appetizer.  

I loved the pot stickers and ate at least five of them!

It was fun to sit down and have dinner with everybody every night!  We sure enjoyed our Chinese food tonight!

I was one tired little pup after our big day of fun.  I laid down at the top of the stairs all tuckered out!

I had a little bit of silliness still left in me!
