My Visit to Maine

I got to meet Marg & Lucy & Remy!

Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Maine--a place that Mommy says is in our blood--in July.  I had a great visit withYana & Talya & Abby & Olie,  Nana & Grampy Bill, Pop & Lala, Seal & Shawn & Maesa, Margaret & Lucy & Remy & Osar, and many more of our friends!  I swam in rivers, lakes, and oceans.  I ate solid food for the first time. I breathed the fresh air (and the not-so-fresh air on Upper St.). I saw the clear sky. And I loved every minute of Maine. Here are just a few photos of our trip.

I liked rolling over on Yana & Talya's bed!

Nana and I had fun at the beach!

"Nana, was that really Mommy's bathing suit?"

Lucy is a big girl now!

This sums up  my trip: I LOVED Maine!

Hiking with Auntie Seal, Shawn & Maesa was hard work!

Swimming in the Carrabassett River.

Napping with Daddy.

Swimming in the Atlantic. Brrr!

Chillin'. Quite the outfit, eh?

I needed to rest once I got home!

"Wheeeeeeee!"

Uncle ZBone and I hung out in Maine, but he wouldn't share his Gritty's with me!

Seadogs- that's right!

Yup. The beach is FUN.

Deep Thoughts by Kaya

Let's see, do I invest in transportation infrastructure or local construction bonds. So many decisions.

Meanwhile check out Dad's blog with new pics of me and my East Coast friends.

Kaya on the Right Coast

Kaya and family visited Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine all in one grand road trip. Lots of friends, sand, sun, water, family and New England flavor. Here's a peek at a few of the stops we made.

More to come... many more once Mom gets some time. Thanks for the great times!

First Trip To Montana!

This hat is too big guys! (Mommy and Uncle Marty used Arnica's high chair when they were little!)

I love you, Devin!

Mommy and me during nap time on an island in the Hungry Horse Reservoir.

Three generations: girl power!

Chillin' in a cove with Auntie Sandy. She  is the best!

Safety first, right Nana?

I LOVE the boat!

That was a huge wave!

Arnica made sure I was comfy before my nap.

We never all looked at the camera...

Uncle Marty makes me laugh,

boating makes me tired.

Poker strategy lesson from Dev.

Fruit lesson from Arnica.

Shapes lesson from Nana.

I am grabbing onto lots of things now!

Arnica showed me her clothes that she is passing on to me; these shoes are from Mommy and Daddy's wedding before I was born!

My first bonfire- Montana style!

Photo time with Dev & Nica.

Story time with Arnica.

Swing time with Arnica, too.

We went on lots of family hikes.

Really Dev?

Just the girls hiking with Nana!

Yup, I love Montana.

I just returned to California after spending two weeks in Montana with Arnica, Devin, Auntie Sandy, and Uncle Marty.  Nana and Grampy Bill were there, too! I loved waking up in the trees every day.  It was especially fun for me to play with Arnica and Devin all day long.  As you can see, they taught me lots of new things.  Nana took very good care of me and told me lots of stories.  I went on a boat for the first time, too.  It was such a fun trip!

Beer, bikes, and books- weeks 12- 14

My very own timing chip just like Mommy in her race!

I seem to be stuck up here with the cookbooks and this Polish plate!

Getting the keg ready for the latest home brewed IPA.  Yum!

You can not really tell, but this is me at yoga class with Mommy.  I love it!

Our first family bike ride! 

This looks like it is going to be fun!

I am getting much stronger and dexterous! I like to hold my toys now and frequently grab Daddy's beard and Mommy's hair! I have also had a fun few weeks...check out the pictures!
