Home Alone

by Maile Girl on May 22, 2011

Well, I wasn’t really “alone” since Gramma Gail and Papa Cal were taking care of me, but this weekend Mommy and Daddy went to Maui without me. It’s the first time ever that I was away from both of them at the same time. At first, I was a little nervous, but then I realized I got to spend extra time with Gramma Gail and Papa Cal! And they sure didn’t disappoint, we did all sorts of fun things…

The morning Mommy and Daddy left, we went over to the local mall and guess who I am looking at here???

Elmo! (I couldn't believe it - he's my favorite, although this was as close as I was comfortable getting...)

After Elmo, Gramma Gail helped me with a cool art project - we made a hat...

It's a little big, but I think I'll grow into it...

We also practiced my chopstick skills with some noodles for lunch - I'm getting pretty good!

On Friday, we went to the park and had a play date with a little girl named Sam - she was cool in my book because a) she was a year older than me and b) her Gramma brought watermelon!

Back at home Papa Cal helped me setup a pink tent in the living room. Let me repeat that: I have a PINK TENT IN THE LIVING ROOM! So cool.

(Dad note: Clearly Maile had a blast and we couldn’t be more thankful to Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal. We had a wonderfully relaxing trip to Maui and after a couple failed attempts, it was great to finally get away just the two of us. We missed Maile terribly, but knew she was in great hands and having lots of fun!)

(PS – Hat tip to Grandpa Cal for all the great pics and videos…)
