Noodles...

a la Sneaky!

I had lots of fun piling noodles on my kitty yesterday.

We took turns making each other into funny casseroles.

We called this one "Falling Mostaccioli"!

A Special Hunt on a Cold Fall Day

Today, we drove to the Minnetonka Orchards to search for a great pumpkin.

When we arrived, we found some warm and delicious applesauce donuts.

Then we went on a tractor-pulled hay ride.

Since they wouldn't let me drive the big tractor,

I had to make due with this mini version.

We had to do a lot of searching, but...

we finally scared up the perfect pumpkin.

To end our successful search, we chowed down on some delicious BBQ ribs.

Yay! What a great day!

Mommy and Daddy's Little Helper

Now that we have settled in, it's time to help with chores!

(Don't tell Mom and Dad, but I really like to help wash the pots and pans!)

I also sweep and vacuum and 'wipe table'.

Yesterday, I helped Mom to bake a carrot cake. Yummy!

My New Baby 'Sister'

I would like to take a minute to introduce my new kitty friend.

I named her Sneaky because she is crazy fast and, well, sneaky.

She is soft and furry and nice and I am excited that we get to grow up together.

I tell her "Oh kitty, I love you kitty!"

I think my kitty loves me too!

From There to Here

Well, we left Utah for our cross country voyage to Minnesota.

While Dad drove, I practiced my fine motor skills with my lacing cards.

I read lots of books. I slept some. There was a lot of coloring and stickers along the way, too.

***

We made plenty of stops to get out and horse around.

(or dinosaur around as the case may be!)

***

We saw lots of interesting sites as we passed through Wyoming and South Dakota.

We visited Jewel Cave National Monument in Custer, SD.

One of my favorite spots was Mount Rushmore.

Maybe I can be president some day, too!

***

They tell me that a trip across South Dakota wouldn't be complete without a stop at Wall Drug.

I met this foxy lady there.

It wasn't really my kind of place, but they did give me this cool booty sticker!

We visited Badlands National Park, which reminded me a little bit of Utah.

All in all it was a good trip and now we are safe and sound in St. Paul.
