Makenna's Memories: October 2010

Last month we were able to spend some time in Tahoe with my parents. The Tahoe airport was having an air show with all kinds of planes and helicopters. Makenna is currently obsessed with airplanes so we thought that she would love to go and see them up close. She LOVED it! She wanted to touch all the planes and was all smiles, even though it was windy and cold.

We were able to go inside this HUGE plane.

She literally wanted to run up and touch each plane and helicopter.

Drew and Dad got to climb into a Harrier, also known as “the widow-maker”. They don’t make this kind of plane anymore because if the pilot makes a sudden move at a certain speed the plane will flip and the pilot’s neck is snapped in the process. Yikes!

Makenna was so cold by the end that she was happy to zip into Daddy’s jacket.

Makenna loves to play dress up. She has a special drawer full of recycled accessories and such.

This is her “B.B.”…it goes everywhere with her.

We went to the beach in Tahoe too. The water was freezing. Makenna went in up to her ankles but had a lot of fun throwing rocks into the lake.

On the walk home we noticed a jack rabbit run under this platform. Drew and Makenna are trying to see it.

Makenna got on Bampa’s ATV. They were both “acting” scared, even though Makenna really was.

Introducing Bria. This is an adorable little three month old that Makenna and I help watch four days a week. Makenna adores her, she wants to give her kisses all the time.

Makenna was invited to The Little Gym by her friend Tyler. She loved it. They get to do gymnastic-y type things, sing songs, play with balls, and have a ton of fun. At the end of the class the teacher puts a stamp on their hands, feet, and their tummy. Makenna was so excited about her stamps!!!
