Come On Addie!

I think this might have been where Addie learned to say, "Come On!" That's Pop Pop in the tiger's hat and Cap on a hike in Sabino Canyon. We decided not to travel with a stroller which meant going for a desert hike was more like a slow stroll stopping every few feet to explore a rock, another rock, some sand, and more rocks. Addie loves her rocks.

Thanks to frequent readings of Dr. Seuss' Hop on Pop, Addie also knows when Pat is about the sit on a cactus: "No Pat No! Don't Sit on That!" When we get to this page she says "Ouch!" Addie was really good about not grabbing cacti, instead pointing and saying, "No Touching."


After our hike, Addie received a little surprise. Elmo! Michigan Elmo as we call it. But oh, as if Elmo was not enough. Monkey Pants too! Addie sat down on the pavement and immediately tried to put on her pants. When that didn't work, why not make them into a spiffy hat.

Thanks Pop Pop and Nana!
