Yesterday we drove up to Chicago, Illinois to visit Mommy's Aunt Julie and Uncle Bobby, and see her cousin Lissa graduate from high school. It was a long drive, punctuated by a lot of traffic and potty breaks, but we finally made it. And when I met cousin Lissa, I knew we were going to have a great time! She was super nice to me right away, and was just like a big sister. Even though this was her graduation weekend, she spent lots of time with me, reading, playing, teaching me things, just having a lot of fun. And I loved it! The first night we were there, we played with some Spanish word magnets and she taught me some new Spanish words!
I got to stay up pretty late at night playing - it was a vacation after all. My bed was a futon, and I had brought two of my friends to cuddle with while I slept. Daddy loved that one of them was his Teddy! I picked Teddy first above all my other friends. He thinks it's great that Teddy keeps getting a bunch of love!
On Saturday I put on this pretty dress to go to the graduation. I like giving big toothless grins!
Lissa was the salutatorian, and got to get up in front of everybody and give a speech. I thought that was pretty neat. After the ceremony, I gave her a lot of big hugs. She even took me around with her to meet some of her friends!
It was really sunny, but I opened my eyes long enough for a group photo.
Once we got back to the house, we had a barbecue with some of her other relatives, and then it was time for more play! She still had a lot of toys from when she was little, so we had a great time!
