Memphis 2012

Our vacation has finally arrived!! 
Sun, Shades and 80 degree weather, here we come!

 The 21st we got to the airport at 6am.  Yuck is all I could say about that!  The flight went great and Robyn is a wonderful traveler!  I just love her! They lost our car seat so we had to brow one from the airlines. As soon as we arrived to Lisa's and Madison's apartment we were served southern bar-b-q!  Holy crap was it good!  We both must have gained 10 pounds just by eating everything in sight.  Madison's parents and Katie and Kevin were already there.  Spent the night at their place.  All night long I couldn't figure out the flashing lights outside of the bedroom window, just thought everyone was running red lights!  Turns out it was lighting, felt kinda silly about that one. 

Our first day there, 22nd.  We went to the Memphis fire museum.  So cool!!  Robyn loved getting dressed up and driving the fire truck!  Checked out downtown Memphis and ate at BB King's restaurant (the best catfish around) Then we checked out the Civil Rights Museum.  It's built around the hotel where Martin Luther King was

23rd, Tried to see the Slaveheavn House (Underground railroad) a bunch of school kids beat us to it.  Instead, Lisa gave us the grand tour of Collierville and Germantown. 

24TH  Went to one of the top five zoos in the nation.  Memphis zoo!!  Robyn loved all the animals, except one.  When you sit down in the cafe for lunch, you can see the monkeys. There is a male monkey that gets all up set when he sees another male hugging a female.  We decided to test this out.  Holding Robyn near the glass, Daris came and hugged us from behind.  Well male monkey saw us and leaped from the other side of the living area and jumped right into the window.  Robyn screamed and all of us jumped.  So now Robyn hates monkeys.  Mom and Dad arrived and we moved to the hotel.  Super nice and glad we found it!  Went to Arkansas for about 5 mins because I put the wrong address in the GPS. ;)

25th Wedding day!!!!!!!  Lisa and Madison were married and had a lovely service and picked a great place to have pictures done.  Went to PF Chang's for dinner.  We went to bed early, we had a very long day!

26th.  Daris and I decided to strike out on our own and check out the neighboring states.  Mississippi here we come.  Check out some really cool Civil War battlefields and went to a national park!  Battle of Shiloh spans two states and you can learns tons and went on a cool tour.  Saw the Tennessee river and the town on Jackson!  We ended up meeting everyone downtown at the Peabody hotel to see the parade of the duck from the water fountain inside the hotel to the elevator.  So cute and Robyn loved taking pictures and saying smile to the ducks.

27th  Graceland!!!!! 

Coolest place ever!!  I really wasn't an Elvis fan before my visit to Graceland but now I am.  I learned some of the coolest things about Elvis.  Like did anyone know he had a twin?  I didn't.  We got to see the famous Jungle Room in the house and climb aboard the Lisa Marie!  We checked out his great car collection!  Finally made it to see the Slavehaven house.  Called it an early night, that was we could be packed and ready for the plane. 

28TH Nothing really to say about this day.  Checked out of the hotel, turned in the rental car, check in on the flight, made it home! 
Chilly, pants, no sun, rainy Washington :(

Got ya!

Last night was a first for Robyn.  She didn't want to go to bed quietly.  So we put her in the crib anyway.  It was 10pm.....WAY passed bedtime.  About ten minutes later she was still screaming and we heard a loud thump.  We knew right away what it was.  Robyn had jumped out of the crib.......gggrrreeeaaattt.  She was ok, just really scared and she didn't go down until 11.   All day I've been thinking about setting up her crib that turns into a toddler bed.  I don't think she's ready yet.  Luckily my friend Kari had the answer.  A crib tent!  Best thing ever!  Now we can sleep all night with out worrying about Robyn jumping out and hurting herself.

Size 9 in mens shoes

Robyn is in a Daddy faze right now.  Daddy this and Daddy that.  Wants to do everything Daddy does.  Reading on the toilet, wearing a baseball hat, wearing Daddy's shoes, giving Daddy big hugs and using her scary monster roar that Daddy taught her.  Here is a cute picture of being just like Daddy!

Monkey see, monkey do?

Now who did Robyn get this idea from?...............Oh well, at least she's reading!

Nursery!

On the 22nd, Robyn turned 18 months old and that means she is old enough to attend nursery class!  Here is my sweet girl on her first day of nursery.  She is even holding her first art project she did in class!  Robyn ran down the hallway and right into the class room ready to play!  We just walked out when she was busy playing with toys.  She only started crying at the end when she saw all the other parents picking up kids and they won't let her leave the classroom.  I can't believe how fast time goes!  Before we know it, Robyn will be heading off to Primary.

Chef Robyn

Robyn really loves playing with her kitchen!  Loves pressing the radio button and dancing to the music and pressing the blender button to hear the roar of it.  Loves opening and closing the oven and refrigerator door.  Loves playing with the food and dressing up in the apron and putting on the oven mitt.  So here is our little chef.

Vroom, vroom

Robyn found a new jungle gym to play in.  She loves sitting in her toy box and saying vroom, vroom and car.  It's really funny to watch her climb inside and try and sit on her toys.  We taught her to remove some so she would have some room.  Now it's vroom, vroom all the time.  Even in the car!

Tacoma Children's Museum

What a fun day we had!  Robyn and I went to the TCM today.  They had everything from dress up, play houses, tree houses, painting on walls, blocks, story time, art tables and of course the water tables!!!  Robyn has a blast!  She ran everywhere and played with everything.  Robyn did things that I thought she wouldn't do....like climb into the ship and crawl all the way to the look out tower and back! At the water table, she got soaking wet and had fun splashing the other kids.  Robyn ran and played so hard that she fell asleep on the way home before having lunch and slept for four hours!  We will definitely be going back........
