Vacation! *

We had a great trip with family and friends at Yosemite. The weather mostly cooperated, and the kids had a ball. Rye loves being outdoors, playing with the "big kids," riding in the bike trailer, and now riding on a 3-wheeled scooter!

A few of the new words and phrases Rye picked up while traveling:

"pine needles," "campsite," "shuttle bus," "parking lot," "mocking bird" ("mopping bird"—and anyway it was a Stellars Jay), "connected."

He told Mommy, "Bird. On. Fire!" Mommy thought that was quite silly, but knowing Rye generally calls 'em as he sees 'em, she turned in the direction he was pointing to see a beautiful bird perched on the grill of the fire pit.

"Rye. Riding. Scoooter."

"Bye, Scotts, driving trailer."

"Stay out of street. Car coming."
