This last weekend was Memorial Day and we took a road trip. For the last few years Pica and Grammie have been coming up to see us, but now that Aunt Deb and the crew are living in Sparks mommy decided we needed to see everyone. So, mommy loaded us up to head to Reno for the weekend. Unfortunately, every time we go to Reno lately, we seem to have really bad luck! Maddox got really sick, as he will tell you, and it put a bit a damper on our weekend. I was a great big sissy and super supportive of both mommy and brother. I never complained once, even though our drive took a lot of extra time and though brother was hogging most of mommies attention.
Thankfully, mommy did her best to try and work around the yuckies and we were able to fit in plenty of fun. Pica lives in a really nice neighborhood with quiet streets so we got to go for a few nice bike rides. We also spent plenty of time at local parks playing. Unfortunately, because brother was sick, Aunt Deb didn't want to bring the kids around so we were only able to meet them at the park for a few hours. I took advantage of every second and rarely left Fletcher's side!
I also got to have a few private music lessons from my Pica. He let me play his piano, violin, mandolin, and guitars! I'm quiet the budding maestro!
Our last day in Reno, Pica took us back to the pool in Minden. It is a huge indoor pool with lots of different areas to play in and I really had fun. In one of the big pools they set up a water obstacle course for people to climb on. Mommy, Maddox, Pica, and I all took our turns. I had a blast but I'm not too sure that Maddox enjoyed himself.
Maddox:
Well... we probably won't be going back to Reno for a really long time. I'm pretty sure that my bad luck has soured mommy for that trip for good!
This time, unfortunately I was the one to be sick. Thankfully our car didn't break down and I didn't end up in the hospital, but I was pretty darn sick to be sure. Without getting too personal, lets just say I developed a pretty severe case of GI distress on the drive down. It was a yucky, stinky disaster that continued through our entire weekend. As a result, I wasn't happy unless mommy was holding me in her lap. I complained a lot about my tummy hurting and being cold and was just generally grumpy for most of the time.
I did have a few good moments and did enjoy myself a bit. I really liked going to the parks and played pretty good. Time in Pica's music room was fun too. When we went to the pool, I was happy when I was in the warm pool, but otherwise I just got too cold too fast. Mommy took me on the obstacle course and it was fun until the big slide at the end. Too much for my tired little body!
On a positive note, I am still stinking adorable and love to talk and sing. When I sing "Patty Cake", instead I say... "Cabity Cake, Cabity Cake" and when I sing "The itsy bitsy spider" I say "The ipsy bipsy spider"! Makes for a lot of smiles!
