A festival and visit

Some time in early October Lily's dad Davis called and said that his family and him would like to see her so we arranged to have a visit at beautiful Camp Richardson. During the fall they have many events and I thought it would be a good place and thing to share with everyone. So on a warm sunny Sunday Lily and I packed our bags to go to the Octoberfest and the Taylor Creek Visitors Centers annual Kokanee Salmon Run. It was fun to watch Lily look at all the fish and have so much fun doing something my mom once took me to do.

It had been a little over a month sense Lily had seen Davis and sense June that his parent had seen her. So naturally it took some time for her to warm up to them but she eventually did and especially to Cindy, her grandma. As sad as it is she preferred her over Davis. She was very happy to see Lily and I enjoyed watching the two of them bond.

Cindy and her husband Alex had never been to the salmon run so it was also neat to share a Tahoe event with them. Alex is a very nice man and always a pleasure to be around. Lily is their only granddaughter out of 7 soon to be 8 grand kids and you can see the joy that she brings to his heart.

After we walked through the visitor center and saw the fish I let Lily play in a small pumpkin patch at the Octoberfest and she was really cute. For Lily's sake I hope that visits like this happen more often.

At Papa and Hannama's

Once again it has been to long sense my last post but a lot has been going on. Work, school and everyday life!

I also spent some time at my dad and Rhonda's house watching there animals while the two of them went deer hunting. It was very nice to have some alone time and to be in a different environment. Lily loved being around the animals and would walk around saying, "meow...meow" while chasing the poor cat and also gave Dolly, the puppy, a hard time by pulling on her ears. Not hard enough to cause harm but it did hurt I am sure. Sorry Dolly! In the living room of their house there was a hat that Lily seamed to love almost as much as the animals and she would wear it for a long time it was really cute.
Another thing I was able to do while enjoying our time at Papa and Hanna's was cook for Lily and I. Something I don't do that often because my mommy cooks for us most of the time. Anyway, while I would be cooking Lily would have to find things to entertain herself and at one point it was putting the spices in the dishwasher. She discovers the cupboard with off the spices in it, how to open and close the dishwasher and load them in. It was pretty funny. But don't worry Dad and Hanna I was sure to put them all back and not to let her wash them! :-)
Thanks for having us over, we are happy to hang with the animals anytime.
