SAKURA IS HERE!

Welcome to the world, Sakura!

My brand new baby cousin was born on July 2nd. Nana and Papa are up in Seattle visiting her right now. Isn’t she so cute? I can’t wait to meet you, Sakura!

PAINTING WITH NANA & PAPA

Nana and Papa are visiting the Pacific Northwest, so I took them to one of my favorite places – Color Me Mine!

STORYTELLERS CAFE

The morning after Disneyland, I went to The Grand Californian Hotel to have breakfast with Nana & Papa and a bunch of Disney characters.

As soon as I walked in to the Storytellers Cafe, I saw Chip and gave him a high five and a hug!

After I sat down at my table, Mickey came by!

I told him a bunch of cities and asked if he’d ever been to them. Mickey has been EVERYWHERE. Even North River, North Dakota, population 55.

I also asked Pluto where he’s been and he hasn’t really been anywhere.

Dale has been to lots of national and state parks, but he seems to avoid big cities. When I asked if he’d ever been to London, he indicated that he’s afraid of airplanes.

And I got to see Minnie again. She was just hanging out at her house yesterday!

Dale and Pluto really liked the horn on my rhino hoodie.

Even though it was time to go, I just couldn’t stop giving the characters a list of places and asking if they’d ever been there. They answered dozens of my questions.

I originally planned to go to California Adventure after breakfast, but it was so rainy and windy, we had to resort to Plan B. So I basically played with the hotel curtains and hung out with Nana and Papa. It was a nice rest day!

BYE, NANA & PAPA

I think I wore out Nana and Papa. Thanks for the visit!

THE STRIP

I’ve had a lot of energy lately, so before we headed out for our final day in Nevada, I went outside to run around Nana and Papa’s neighborhood.

Then we went to the Las Vegas Strip to go up the Eiffel Tower.

This is the view when you look straight down!

Then we continued down Las Vegas Boulevard and encountered my favorite part of Vegas – the pedestrian walkways!

The M&M’s store was…okay. But…

…it had four floors of escalators. So it was a win!

CACTUS GARDEN AND LAKE MEAD

Nana and Papa thought I’d like to go to the Cactus Garden at Ethel M’s Chocolate Factory because you can see a whole bunch of planes fly right over head. And they were right!

Then we made a return to Lake Mead to see the ducks, coots, seagulls, and carp.

As you can see, I was Mr. Popularity among the hungry birds.

HIGH ROLLER

If you cross an aerial tram with a ferris wheel, you get the Vegas High Roller.

THAT LOOKS LIKE NANA

Mommy forgot about this video on her phone that she took when Nana (and Papa) arrived a couple weeks ago.

In the past, I’d never been all that excited about visitors. But for some reason, that changed this time around. I love you, too, Papa. But I was super excited to see Nana!

DRAWING OF NANA

Nana and Papa are currently road tripping their way across the desert. While they were here, I drew a picture of Nana walking Chubs. But I wouldn’t give it to her! So, Nana, you can admire it here.
