The Clan McKinnon

My teacher Josh brought his own camera to school today and took pictures of us kids while we were playing. Just hanging out in the gym...on a scooter...under the piano.

We met Thomas at the Hands on Museum and then enjoyed dinner together in downtown. We had to stop at each door or step on the walk back to the car, so our "short" walk turned into a bit of a long walk. When I got home, I was super excited to open my belated birthday present from Thomas! I was mesmerized by my awesome new truck!

Happy hour at Mommy's work. John and I got busy helping with sketching in the conference room.

Their view while waiting for their suitcase in Jackson Hole. Mommy at the top of the hill. Mommy & Daddy enjoying the beautiful sunshine and snow! Daddy on the steep slopes! Post skiing fun! Leaving on the plane -blurry because they were instructed not to take photos on the tarmac.

I wanted to get into the skiing mode too - so while Mommy & Daddy were getting ready for their upcoming ski trip - I found a pair of goggles for myself! I was pretty proud of myself! And I didn't want to take them off. You never know when the Michigan weather can turn, so you should always be prepared.

Imagine how excited I was to get purple ski boots and skis that had purple all over them! My ski lesson was starting out well! Listening to the important things our teacher was saying. After spending some time on the little bunny hill, we got a snack and hot chocolate and headed out to the bigger bunny hill! That's me in the middle of the picture between the ski pole and the guy in the blue ski suit. Once I made it to the bottom, I found my way back to the magic carpet to go back up for more!

While everyone was talking, I found a present and just opened it. I found 5 different kinds of trucks that I raced with Eve and Grandma! My trucks were the fastest! Then I got to open the rest of my presents - while everyone was watching. I got an upgrade from my little Winter Friends book to the full length Stranger in the Woods!    Eve gave me a little help on this bigger present. But once it was unwrapped, I carried it somewhere else to open the box and play with by myself! Being silly with my chocolate cupcake! But not as messy as with my birthday sundae! Eve really enjoyed her cupcake too!
