Our adventures from CO to Ames, IA to Northern MN to Davenport, IA and back to Colorado....totally 2,800 miles....went well. I don't mean to brag, but I really am a great traveler. Seriously, I like to read my books, take naps, stop for breaks at random parks and see the road, all while riding backwards because I'm not 20 lbs. yet. (I hope by my 2nd birthday to finally be 20 lbs. so I can experience the joy of looking out the front window). Anyway, the trip was great. It was really rushed though because we had so many people to see and things to do.
I experienced some firsts again though. My first trip to the lake, my first time wearing a "boat coat," my first boat ride (I kinda fell asleep but that had nothing to do with Uncle Brian's driving) and my first princess fishing pole.
Mom and dad had fun too I think. They went fishing and came back aweful wet one night. I don't think they used any fishing poles, I think they fell in the lake and tried to catch the fish with their bare hands. Mom claims they got caught in the middle of a big rainstorm and she was catching fish, but I think that's just a fish tale. Oh well, we had fun.
I completed my first Bix race. It was tough, I had to crawl 10 feet on a carpet with all these other kids. Oh course I didn't take off when they said "GO" I waited to see if any of the boy crawlers had cute buns (you know what I mean) and then I took off and finished. My number on my bib was "A3." Mom says that stands for ankle biter #3 since I was crawling. Oh well, I got a medal and it was awesome. Mom didn't get a medal when she did her race the next day.....did I mention she ran the entire thing in the rain...no one went to watch her. Grandpa dropped her off and picked her up, but I think she was nuts and should have stayed home.
Since getting back to Colorado it's been crazy around here. You would have thought it would slow down, but nope, not in this household. Dad got sick right after we got back and missed work for a few days (that never happens). Then mom got sick (I think it's from running 7 miles in the rain storm, but what do I know, I'm just a kid) and she missed work for part of a week as well. Then last night, well this morning, at 1 AM I got the stomach flu and was up until 6. Now, mom won't let me eat anything fun today expect crackers, water, toast, etc. How boring is that?! Mom keeps drinking coffee and doing laundry....I'm not sure why? I think she likes to clean.
Other than that, not much new. (I will add some more photos later but I'm tummy doesn't want to wait for them to upload on this slow computer)
Until later - Madeline
PS. I'm getting a new cousin on February 4....I'm pretty pumped to have a new friend. Congrats Tom and Mary and cousins Katelyn and Caleb!
PSS. If you ask me how old I'll be in 1 month, I will hold 1 finger up and show you....no, it's not my middle finger people, get you head out of the gutter.
