My Seattle Visitors

We have been happy to have our granddaughter Amelia visit with her parents from Seattle!  We haven't seen her in person in two years and she has grown up into a really sweet little girl.  She is 3 1/2 now and very articulate, gentle and a real joy!

Her Aunt LJ bought her a tutu and high heels to play in and she immediately put them on.  Her mom has stressed from infancy that Amelia would not be a princess and was not to have princess things.  Of course this tutu has a crown right on the front but since it didn't say "princess", an exception was made!  She is too cute!!

She climbs constantly and here she is with her dad.  These chairs are high!

I finally got a picture with a big smile.  She will not pose for photos at all, generally assuming a zombie pose (she loves zombies) or turning her head away!!

Here she is down at the beach which she loves.  This little shirt is in fact a life jacket.  She threw a fit when she had to come back to the house yesterday!  What child doesn't like the beach!

Now this visitor wasn't from Seattle but was sitting just outside our door.  It was really small  and I believe is an Eastern Hognose Snake.
