It's a birthday party!

What a day it was and I got really spoiled! You'll see some on the video but the last picture shows all my loot and all my new great books.
And what about the cake? Exactly what I asked for and every thing was eatable.. well, "is" eatable since Maman did not like my idea of eating the locomotive and the 3 train cars in one setting. I am telling you, the tracks were yummy too and so was the gravel that Maman put in my cereal this morning.

I also decided to try some singing that day and created a piano piece. You can hear all that and more on the video.
Merci to all for the cool cards, wishes and gifts!

Three years... through the eyes of Noah

There are different ways to celebrate one's birthday; I chose to celebrate mine by going to the dentist for my first x-rays and cleaning. And you can ask the radiologist, the dental hygienist and the dentist, I definitely behaved like I had grown today: yep, I am 3!
The day finally came and it was a lot of fun; you will get to see part of it tomorrow but first, here is me, growing in front of your eyes during this 3 minute slide show.
Thanks a bunch for the great birthday wishes I received today. I will write later but right now, I decided to snooze since tomorrow is another exciting day at the zoo!

A week in Grand Teton National Park

After a week in Montana, we headed to Wyoming for yet another road trip. Shorter certainly but whow, the thunderstorms were impressive. What? Oh, Maman said that I actually slept through all of it but I still remember the thunder.
After a first chilly day, we had great weather at our 6100 feet destination. So many fun things. Maman and Papa seemed really excited about seeing the mountains every day; sure they are impressive but what about all that water every where, and the sticks, and the rocks. Way more cool.
I did enjoy the rides in the backpack again but it seems that Papa's shoulders and back did not quite appreciate them as much.
I really, really, really wanted to ride the tram, so when the day finally came, I was very excited. It's breathtaking. Of course the parents had to do a 10 miles hike from up there at 10 000 feet when all I wanted to do was go up and down: hey, it's free for kids under 5 so they could have left me there. On the plus side, there was a lot of snow on the trail and I got to throw some pretty good snowballs! Splash!

Two videos of that trip for you; the second one has all the good pics in a slide show.



The pictures:

Animals are everywhere

During the trip, we saw quite a bit of animals or at least animal traces. I am getting good at finding the poop kind of traces!
There were animals we saw but did not have the camera or were not quick enough. A lot of different birds, deer and a moose are not featured, but we saw them!
My encounter with ant hills was pretty good except for the part where I stepped on one and they came crawling all over my body. Maman had to remove all my clothing to get them out. Those things can bite you know!
Maman made this little video for me mainly because it contains bugs and I am totally into bugs right now. I just checked out 2 books about them at the library today.

A week at Grandpa and Grandma's in Montana

We are back!
That was quite trip and I spent a LOT of hours in the car. Good thing Maman brought about 75 of my books to keep me entertained.
There were a lot of experiences in Montana: playing along the river that runs on edge of the property, helping Grandma in her garden, running around with my cousin, seeing dear, getting ants all over my body and tasting all the great food Grandma made.
So here is the first video of our trip!
