It's been a fun week! The Archibalds and company came to visit us. We had lots of fun adventures! We made cute bug cakes with Maria as seen below.
Erik's Grandma came with Aunt Becky. She tells us that her mom also had red hair (my mom does/did too). So now we know that Alyssa has two sides pulling for that red hair to stick around. Grandma liked to hold Alyssa. Alyssa was a little less sure...
Margaret or Grammy or Maggie or Mahola....or whatever she's decided on got Alyssa to use her binky on more than one occasion. I'm not sure how she did it because we're back to the thumb!
We went on a dam power plant tour. Alyssa's reaction in this picture may prove prophetic of all future family vacations...
We also went swimming at the hotel pool. It was nice and cool and Lys loved it.
The lovely swimsuit models are seen below:
For the Fourth we got all dressed up in patriotic gear. I know it's a blurry pic but I love the face.
Erik made patriotic pancakes...
James Archibald II spent most of the 4th with us. We had a patriotic speech and sang some songs. Scooter aka Jim should be proud!
We went to see fireworks. Alyssa enjoyed them quite thoroughly. It'll be interesting to see if she likes them next year.
Alyssa is becoming quite sophisticated in her entertainment. No more vibrating bouncy chairs or a bunch of silly faces. She wants more! She learned how to use the computer. She also likes to stand up in her door way bouncing chairy thing. She is smiley and silly. I'm thinking about taking her to the mall so she can people watch because the two of us at home just doesn't seem to be cutting it anymore!
