My mom's cousin Katie came to visit for a few days with her friend Blair, who by the end of the trip was deemed "Cousin Blair Blair". We had so much fun together!
The first night the girls were were, we all went out to my favorite sushi restaurant. Well, it WOULD be my favorite sushi restaurant if I was allowed to have sushi. So I'll call it my favorite-teppanyaki-place-that-makes-great-sushi-I-cant-have. Has anyone ever really looked into the legalities of the gross age-discrimination that parents weild like a giant sword in World of Warcraft? Son of a biscuit, I want to try sushi so bad.
One thing that I *was* able to eat that night was this delicious little invention called "miso soup". I love this stuff. And what's even better, my parents went APE SHIT that I liked it so much. All night long..."Can you believe the baby likes miso?!" "Who ever heard of a kid liking miso with seaweed?!" By 9pm, I was thinking, Get over yourself. I like EVERYTHING you people put in my mouth, even the cat food I snuck off the floor last week. Accept it, and lets move on.
On the 7th, Katie and Blair Blair actually babysat me while Mommy and Daddy went out for their anniversary. I had been thinking up some really evil pranks to play on my unsuspecting babysitters, but since they had been so cool all week, I decided to take it easy on them. I did, however, punish them right before bathtime by peeing all over the floor when they stripped me down. It was so classic...I start my tinkle, and these two girls starts screaming, "Its peing! Its peeing!" I almost laughed so hard, I could have...well, peed some more, I guess.
The best part of the whole weekend, though, we our trip down to Tucson. Katie and Blair Blair wanted to see some of the wild west, so we decided to take them horseback ridiing. Mommy used to work at this horse ranch in Tucson and we combined a fun day on the trail with a visit to old friends. I really liked meeting the horse people. Their names were Nuja and Tim. We went on a ride with their son, Trenton. He was so funny. At first I really liked the ride, although it was kind of uncomfortable sharing a saddle with my mom. I even fell asleep for a little while. But, after a while, the sun started getting really hot, and I was sitting so close to my mom that my back got soaked with sweat. By the last 15 minutes, I had pretty much had enough. But seeing horses for the first time was really cool. And I really liked that guy Tim. I dont know what it was about him....but I think I might have cracked his tough, cowboy exterior when I gave him and extra-special tight squeeze before we left.
Then, as if that wasn't fun enough, when we were done w/ the horses we met some more of Mommy's friends and went swimming! I had never been swimming before. To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I mean, sure it was hot outside, but that water was COLD! My little baby parts couldnt handle the shrinkage!
All in all, it was a great visit, and I was sad to see the cousin's go.
