Ava: 37 months old!!!
Hi! Our sweet Ava is now 37 months old!
And what was she doing when she turned 37 months old exactly? Napping in the car at the Shady Dell in Bisbee, Arizona.
And when she woke up, she was ready to run. But where is Deets?
No Deets this time. I think she remembered this picture from over a year ago.
So she had to make new friends. And she immediately befriended this young cat.
And the cat tried to get her to go ghost hunting in the graveyard with her.
Maybe next time silly cat.
Is that a ghost over there?
The cat eventually came back and Ava played mini-golf with her.
Ava keeps asking if we can go to Nona’s house or to the Clubhouse with Grace. So Dan busted out the map to show her how far we were. Not sure if she got it but we gave it a try.
Ava has been enjoying trying to cook with Dada and sometimes with Mama too. (Hey, I make pancakes!)
And when we went to see the old copper mine, she asked me if Chuck E. Cheese was in there. (???????)
The little dinner at the Shady Dell has ice cream sundaes just her size. Much to her delight.
And the weather is perfect for some play time. She finally got to use the moon sand she was begging to use all week.
For Valentine’s day, it was ice cream sundae time again!
I think she is a little tired of playing with us all the time.
But lucky her, a friend showed up. Hello Sophia. And they quickly became friends.
Ava got to go to Tombstone. This is her second time here. Take that Dida!
And if restaurants are too crowded, like this one in Tombstone, Ava likes to cover her ears and say that it is toooooo loud.
The girls had fun running around. Ringing bells.
And when I asked Ava what we should buy Dida, Ava told me that Dida wanted this horse. Nice try, Ava.
They also got to eat pancakes together at the little dinner.
And play on old mining carts.
And scream ‘stop’ on the street so the adults would halt every few feet. Which took us a very long time to get anywhere but we were in no rush.
All that stop and go pooped us out so it was off to the Copper Queen hotel for Happy Hour.
It’s nice to have another kid here for Ava. Even though she gets super crazy.
These two love playing “You can’t catch me!”
And they even played it on Geronimo’s Monument. Moments later, Ava fell off of this thing. Right into the bushes. It could have been really bad. But she was okay. Thank God. Ava has a bad habit of running and looking behind her at the same time.
Then it was off to New Mexico. Look! The beach! Not really. Hello White Sands National Monument.
Ava has been acting up again. And gets time-outs every once in while. Even at National Monuments.
Then it off to play in the sand.
This place was super awesome. You must go if you are ever in New Mexico.
She had a blast sledding with Dada… until her legs folded under the sled somehow. We all freaked out for a second but she was okay.
Alright. Time to get back to our road trip.
And relax. Bye!
