Our Little Traveling Thanksgiving Turkey!

Wow, what an exciting week I had! Where to begin? Well, on Wednesday night, my mommy and daddy packed me up with Lucy girl for the longest car ride of my life! Literally! At first, it seemed fun but then it got dark outside and I got very scared. I guess you can say I was a tad dramatic when I screamed at the top of my lungs for almost an hour at the Burger King we stopped at on the way--but what do you expect when you take a princess out of her castle? Lucy girl wasn't entertaining enough for me in that great, big back seat, so I yelled, "Mommy, get back here!" And, mommy rode with me in the back the rest of the way. Whew. Once we got settled in Buffalo, it was non-stop action. I was greeted at the window by three of my cousins, jumping up and down and waving in the front window. I felt like Santa Clause! All my other cousins, uncles, aunts, and poppy & grandma passed me around like a hot potato until it was time to leave. I was a much better girl on the way home to Pittsburgh. My little lamb swing was a sight for sore eyes. Just as I was getting settled in at home...mommy packed me up and drove me off again! This time, I got to ride with grandma and pappy, and I was a much, much better traveler. I only got up once when we stopped at my favorite restaurant (Eat 'N Park) and soaked up all the attention from everyone with those big wide eyes of mine. They packed me up in the car again and we traveled through a lush, magical forest to get to my other cousin, Princess Talia Mae. This time, it was Talia who got the water poured on her head by the funny man in the robe. Since Talia was such a good girl at my party, I promised her the same and kept very quiet in the church. Afterward, I had so much fun being passed around again and playing with Talia in her fancy play pen! I've never seen so many toys in one spot before. I really tried to make those cool noises and sing like cousin Talia, but all that came out was cackles and grunts. Oh well. Mommy says I'll make the same sounds in just a few weeks, so I am going to keep practicing until then. Back to my lamb swing for now! Here are a few snapshots from my Turkey Day travels.
