Its been quite a while since I last posted anything on the blog. The reason for that is that Grace and I have been in Idaho for approximately six weeks visiting family and friends. We had a great time and enjoyed the cooler weather and lack of miserable humidity. These are photos of our trip to update you on Princess Grace.
We got to Spokane on July 2nd after a LONG day of traveling. Amazingly Grace did well, but I was still exhausted. On July 3rd, Sandpoint had their Independence Day celebrations, complete with a parade and fireworks. Grace and I were a bit jet lagged, but still made it to the parade and met up with my friend Kristi and her family. Grace was asleep at first, until the old cars with loud exhaust went by. I tried to dress her in her patriotic tutu, but she wouldn't let me. She HATED it. Reece however loved it. After we got home Grandma brought out my old trike and we tried to show Grace how to ride it, but her feet just don't quite reach far enough yet. Oh well, hopefully soon.

We spent July 4th at my cousin Chris' house. We weren't able to stay for fireworks because Grace was getting cranky, she was still on East Coast time. The highlight of her evening was that Aunt Bonnie showed her what Snap Pops were and how to make them pop by stepping on them. What a joy!
After the holiday we started to settle in to Idaho a bit. Grace loved going for rides on the lawnmower with Grandpa. It was quite difficult for him to even start it without her wanting a ride on it.
She also loved going for walks and taking Woody, Jessie and Bullseye. She loved the vintage baby buggy that my mom got for her to play with.
(More to come later...)
