Anna and I flew to Minneapolis in May. The flights out of Dever each time were so turbulant that Anna at first giggled, "Mommy this plane is bumping a lot!"
...and then a few minutes later she questioned, "Mommy why are you praying?"
It was pretty cold most of the time. We sported our outerwear that we never get to wear in winter in the 'querque.
The highlights of travel for Anna Banana were the grandmas, the grandpas and the cousins. Oh, the cousins!
The Cousins (and their noms de plume to Anna) are as follows:
Taylor ('Teen Idol'), Joshy ('The Protector') and Bryson ('The Accomplice'). See below for a dazzling impression of a Gap ad.
Other trip highlights include....
...Party at the Playpark: Here we are wrapping uncle Jason around our little finger.
..."Say Ah!": The famous Dr. Anna checks Great Nana's throat for 'germies.'
...First Time on a Horsey: We rode "Patches" at the 4H fundraiser that cousin Taylor was volunteering at. Since that day, every horse Anna sees is also dubbed "Patches."
...Tell me about the rabbits, George: We also cuddled/mauled unsuspecting bunnies.
...Tickles and Pitworms: Anna graduated from calling her grandma "Gaga" to calling her "Grandma" because she decided she was too old for "Gaga."
(Anna is too old. Not Gaga.
For the love of all that's holy...no one said Gaga was old!)
...The Social Gathering of the Century: We all went to Jaqueline's wedding and had a delightful time...
...Quote of the day: A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.

...The whole tribe: We spent some wonderful time at the Spakousky home with all of the extended family (more cousins!) and got some pics of Nana and Papa with their grandkids (missing Jacqueline and Misty...sniff).
...First time getting this shot: ALL of their great grandkids.
...Another Gap ad knock-off: Cutest bunch in the world!
Closing thoughts: Ufff!
