Tri-Cities

Over the weekend, mommy and I went on a trip to Aunt Tracey's house in the Tri-Cities. We drove with Cousin Alyssa and Jeremiah and Siena and we had so much fun! It was a short trip and we wish we could have stayed another day or two! We got there kind of late on Friday so we just settled in and went to sleep but we had such a fun and busy Saturday! We first went to a farm that has cute little rides and sells yummy chocolate and other yummy food like ice cream and fresh fruit and salsa. When we first got there Siena and I were able to ride the rides. I rode the carousel and even the airplane ride! I loved them both and had so much fun! We then watched Siena and her grandma Tracey ride the little roller coaster. I'm still a little too small but maybe next time! After that we went back inside to buy chocolate and to get lunch and ice cream.















After the farm we stopped by the house to get swimsuits and go to the park. It was so hot outside (it was around 100 degrees!) so we went to cool off in the water. Mommy thinks this park is the best park ever. It's right on the Columbia River and it even has a little pool. It also has has swinging park benches and the playground even has a zip line. Aunt Tracey brought a lot of blankets and we found a great shady place to lounge for the afternoon. Siena and I played in the pool for a little and then mommy bought me an ice cream sandwich, yum! It was fun to spend some time just crawling around outside, mommy also took me on a little walk along the river and then pushed me in the swings. I was also able to go on the zip line with mommy, Uncle Earl took a video so hopefully we'll get that soon!







After the park we went to Cousin Cameron's house for a BBQ dinner. I saw Aunt Tracey when she was in town about a month ago, but this trip is the first time I've seen Uncle Earl and my cousins Ben and Cameron, and Cameron's wife Amanda. It was so fun to finally meet them and spend some time with them. Tracey, Earl, Ben and Cameron recently bought a farm/vineyard and they spend a lot of time working on the farm. That is where Cameron and Amanda's house is. They also have chickens and ducks and a great garden. Cameron made some yummy grilled vegetables and a salad from the vegetables from their garden. Siena was also able to go collect eggs from their chickens. How cool is that? We had a very nice evening eating outside and hanging around the house. Cousin Amanda found lots of fun toys for me to play with. We also had birthday cake to celebrate Earl and Cameron's birthdays that are both in the beginning of August. It was another late night by the time we got back to the house but I was such a good boy all day. I ate pretty good and even took a bottle at the park, which is a big deal for me! I was also good at sleeping on the go! I was so tired by the end of the day but I never even got fussy until we were home and getting ready for bed.




On Sunday we just relaxed around the house all day. I slept in until 9am and then played in the bathtub while mommy got ready for the day. I just crawled around the house and played downstairs. I had so much fun playing in the playroom with all of Siena's toys. I then went down for a good nap and slept for 3 hours! I was so tired from the past two days. Mommy even woke me up so I could play before our drive home. When I woke up it was already after 3pm! Mommy was so happy that I slept so well in my pack and play during this trip! After I ate lunch, we went outside and played in the backyard. They have a little pool that we played in and a sprinkler, but all I wanted to do was play with the big rocks in the garden. I also just sat with mommy for a little and watched Siena play.





After that we had to pack up the car and get ready to go. I did so good in the car and took little naps and played with my toys. On our way home we stopped in Ellensburg for some fast food and I loved eating french fries and some chocolate milkshake! We got back to Alyssa's house around 10:45pm and I fell right back to sleep in mommy's car for our ride back up to Bellevue. We finally got home at 11:30pm. I had so much fun in Richland but after our late drive I was ready to be home and in bed! Thanks Aunt Tracey and Uncle Earl for a fun weekend, and thanks Alyssa and Jeremiah for letting me and mommy drive over with you! We hope to visit again soon!
