CHRISTMAS TREE HUNTING

One of our traditions is to find the rainiest day of the month and then go get our Christmas tree. It makes the mission extra special.

I located the best tree on the farm and sent Daddy to work cutting it down.

I also found this cool tree that I could stand under.

After we put the tree in the car, I noticed the farm map!

So then, despite it getting dark quickly, I had to walk all around looking for the douglas, grand, noble, and nordmann firs. I even found a few scotch pines!

MONTSHIRE MUSEUM

I spent the afternoon at the Montshire Museum of Science, where I’ve been once before. But this time, I did all new things.

I got to make a bubble wall…

…and a bubble dome.

I watched air bubbles float up through liquids of different viscosity.

And slid pennies down this huge funnel.

I got to put my hand through fog…

…and put balls through this maze of air tunnels!

IN THE AIR AGAIN

It had been longer than usual since I’d been on on airplane, so it was time to hit the air again!

This time, I took my very first red eye to visit Grandma and Grandpa in New Hampshire. I get very excited when I see the list of departures.

Then we waited for the TSA escort that helps us get all my liquids through.

I did a lot of the usual…hanging out on the people mover…

…going to the play area…

…trying to avoid Mommy when she asked me to pose by this statue.

We took off at 10:45pm and it didn’t take me too long to fall asleep.

But I did wake up in time to take this picture as we approached Boston Logan International Airport.

I wasn’t done sleeping, though. I got in a few more winks on the bus ride to New Hampshire. My first red eye flight was a success!

HALLOWEEN 2019

For Halloween this year, I dressed up as my classmate, Maddie! I made my costume myself, sticking flowers to my clothes and creating a “blankie dress” (Mommy helped with the safety pins.)

First, I went trick-or-treating at my neighbor, Suzi’s, house.

This house was so scary, I ended up not even ringing the doorbell. I just got outta there!

This one was much better.

Once again, my pumpkin bucket was so full, I could hardly carry it by the end. Another successful candy grab!
