What a day for a daydream...

Another gorgeous sunny day... I haven't posted anything but pictures lately, busy busy. Lex and I had a great camping trip with Michelle, Mike, Jen, Glenn, et. al... Griffen was well behaved the first day, and then for some reason went back to being the way he was last camp trip. It was Lexie and my first camp trip without her Dad, and I thought it was awesome. Jen gave Lex a Barbie fishing pole and took her fishing, she lost the fish it came with, so Mike carved her another one, she lost that one too. I took her "fishing" a few times, we did a lot more stuff together this time. My favorite part was when she caught a snag, thought she actually caught a fish, and completely freaked out. She screamed, dropped the poll and ran away from it. She was actually terrified that she had caught something. It was incredibly adorable! Lexie's new visitation schedule with her Dad starts this weekend, or we probably would have camped sooner, but we do have another trip scheduled in July at Ft. Stevens with Tracy, Dana, Sierra, and Lucas. Lexie is excited about camping with Lucas! Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Griff is excited about camping with Marley.

Last weekend we went to the Rose Parade Saturday morning, pics below. Riding the train was fun too. It was great, even though it rained. Lexie did a Happy Feet tap dance for the queens on one of the floats and one threw her a rose. Lexie is incredibly proud of this. It is hanging upside down to dry. It was pretty exciting when the Fred Meyers float caught on fire. By that point we were soaked, and the pause in the parade was our ticket to leave. There was so much excitement, Lex actually fell asleep on the train.

Saturday night, my neighboors threw an awesome party. We got the invitation two weeks ago. It was to celebrate Wendy's son's graduating college and high school. I don't think I've ever been to a better party. Everyone was happy, Lex played with CT's daughter Whitney and swam in the HUGE spa. Great food. Just fun!

I'm going to miss my girl this weekend.

Word(s) of the day: ELECTRIC

Today I'm grateful for Lex, Mom and Dad, weekends, fun, pillows, trees, breezes, and life.
