Impromptu train ride

Mom and Dad took us for a bike ride over the weekend.  What was supposed to be a leisurely ride, turned out to be an adventure.  We rode probably about six miles (okay, I didn't.  We locked my bike up along the train when I couldn't ride anymore!).  We rode from downtown Campbell to Vasona Park (and back).  It was a slightly uphill ride to Vasona....and it was hot.  But when we got to the park, we saw that they had a special event going on.....Pasta dinner and an evening train ride?  YES!  It worked out well.  We ate a filling dinner, rode the train and then biked back.  It was a good evening.

Pacific Grove visit

Auntie Sarah and Uncle Kelvin rented a cozy house in Pacific Grove and Mom took Cameron and I out for a quick visit.  We stayed one day and night.  We had a great time staying up super late and then, waking up super early.  Cameron loved that they had the DVD's for the Clone Wars...he couldn't stop watching them!  But, we did venture out for a bit....

They were having a small car show in downtown Pac Grove and we saw this guy with a bunch of colorful birds.  He tricked us.  I originally didn't want this bird on me, but he said, "Pet the bird like a cat."  And so I did and the next thing I knew, the bird was perched on my arm.  What just happened?  Turns out, it wasn't so bad having this bird on my arm, so I gladly smiled for the picture.  :)

Here's Logan and I being silly together.  We had a lot of fun playing.  Too bad Tristan had to start school already.  

The morning of our departure, Auntie Sarah took us to the Monterey Children's Museum.  We played with this ball thing for quite a while.  It was good fun!

New Tap Routine

This summer, I took a one week (actually 4 days) of dance camp.  It was 3 hours each day.  1.5 hours of tap, and the other half was jazz.  Then I was in Seattle, so I missed two weeks of regular class, but now I'm back.  Here I am with my class....(so this was 4 days of camp only, plus the one hour right before we did a parent show.  What do you think?

Coast Starlight

Mom is snuggling me in my bed.  It's short (good for me), but she's too big for my bed.

Parlor Car, enjoying the views.

Lunch in the dining car

HD Raspberry Sorbet for dessert?  Yum!

Hmmm...should I climb in?

Seattle

Playing in the sand while Cameron fishes.  Yes, I look all bundled up.

It's pretty windy (windy=cold) here, but other folks are in their swim trunks...ha!

On the kayak with Mom...I'm pretending I'm on a rollercoaster.  Wheeeee!

Seafood soup we made with the clams we dug up.  Yum.
