This weekend my parents and I went over the hill to California to visit big fish and see some baseball. We had a great time!!!! I was very excited about the hotel and the hotel pool. I was so tired at the end of both days, but was such a good boy and excited to take in all my surroundings.
respecting others in the pool. I even missed my footing one time getting off the slide and went completely under the water. I didn't mind one bit, and I even flipped myself on my back to stay afloat. My daddy helped me out, and I got right back on the slide. I had to take a few breaks from all my hard playing. I was getting cold and one point my teeth were chattering.
I had a lot of fun visiting with my daddy's co-workers and families.
Tonight while we were getting ready for bed my mommy noticed out the dining room window the sun. We all stopped and watched for a minute as the sun was preparing to set. It was an amazing deep red, almost a blood red color. It looked like a big fire ball in the sky. These shots truly don't do the colors justice.
Our poor neighbors to the west are battling hundreds of fires and for the past two weeks we have had terrible smoke.
Everyone we know has been coughing, and going out to play is almost impossible. A few days last week there were even warnings issued to stay indoors. It seems a little better in Carson City.
The sunset tonight was very pretty and sort of eerie at the same time.
Where the heck are we, family?
Today I went with my parents to what I thought might be the 'haircut' place. Same parking lot and everything, but low and behold, they took me to the GIGANTIC building next door. It was huge. I have seen it before, but never really understood what was behind the glass doors. After a brief moment of my dad fiddling with this machine...three tickets appeared. My daddy handed me one and the glass door opened and WOW! It was huge and smelt good. Lots of people moving around.
I was at the movie theater!!! My parents have never taken me to such a place before now, but today seemed like a prime day for an indoor adventure (still thick smoke from all the California fires). I proudly handed the usher my ticket and he point us in the right direction. I wanted to go to the very top row of seats.
I was in awwww of how large the screen was and with my 'Rivers' keen hearing, thought it was a little loud. I told my mommy next time I will need 'ear plunks'. The movie had a good 30 mins of previews, so when the actual movie stated I only had about a 45 min attention span. I didn't know I had it in me to be quiet for a whole 45 mins...unless asleep. I asked my parents very politely if we could leave. Knowing my parents the way I do, and knowing that they wouldn't want a scene, one that I was willing to put on at a moments notice, I knew we would get to leave. So as we left the darken movie theater I proudly waved and said 'bye-bye Wall*E, thank you!'
Who knows when we will try the movie thing again. I hope it is soon and I hope it is Kung Fu Panda!
