FIELDTRIP! A ‘Rainforest’ Safari!

Lisa May 19, 2009 3Comments

Hey there Mom and Dad,

It’s me, the ‘Safari Girl’!  Yes, Nana did finally charged up the batteries on the black beast, and took me back to see the fish…. so here I am!

Nana took pictures to show you why I like strolling around inside the shop, it has big trees that I can look up at and every few minutes there is a thunderstorm.

There is a latex balloon up at the ceiling here, Nana risked it though for me…. to watch the fish and for me to show you my adventure!

Here I am during the rainstorm…

I really do like it and even though it gets dark I crack up when the lights come on, and when Nana tries to leave the Rainforest Cafe, I cry.

 Silly….

There are a bazillion toys there, and I love the colors, and noises, and waterfalls.

The people who work there must think Nana is crazy.  She was there yesterday, and again today, both times with me and the BLACK BEAST, and let’s just say, they are all probably wondering what the heck she is up to.  Today while we were there she got some pictures of me by the aquarium.  

Here are some of the fish, and the bright colors that intrigue me!

Can you see why I would like this?

The yellow guys are easy for me to follow, and the go around fast!

I love this fieldtrip, and to top it all off, Nana got me a special outfit.  I told her I wanted a pair of ACU’s remember… well you saw me in my first picture on today’s love letter, but let me just say I think I could pass for a soldier … what do you think?   Here is mommy and  then me…

Mom in her ACU’s and being silly…

and now if you just glance…

reeeeaaallly quickly…

at me…

in this shot…

I could fit right in there with you guys!   Nana says NO though, she  is no fun, says babies belong here and will WAIT for mommies and daddies to come HOME.  But believe me when I say, I’d come if I could.   Nana says, Mom will probably remember that she is kinda strict…

I am ready, I can get that monkey you just watch me..

I am fast,

and I have drool power!

Aunt Arri is still grossed out by my drool, figure I can use it as a secret weapon.

More of me… incase you cannot get enough…

I am pretty cute and AND yes Nana went crazy with the black beast today, guess she figures she has a lot of battery power or something, or maybe it’s just that she thinks I am sooooo cute.

Do you like this shot?

Can you see me thinking..?

I am always thinking and really don’t like to slow down too much, for naps or anything… just go go go.

Personally, I even have to admit, I look good in my ACU’s

I hope these make you both smile today,

I know I had a good day, and both Nana and I will sleep good tonight… (she hopes)

I told her thank you and don’t worry I AM BEING SOOOOOO GOOD!   Can’t you tell from my photo’s,  I wouldn’t cause trouble I promised Nana I would wait for you to come home to start any trouble.

Today when we went out it was because Nana had to do some banking for Uncle Nick, and luckily she left my stroller in the car yesterday, because we would have gotten to the store, and there would not have been a stroller… silly Nana… luckily we got the banking done, and had extra time to get you these pictures…and me some ACU’s!

I think the Army would love this face!  And I am an awesome negotiator!  I know exactly how to get what I want when I want it….

I hope you had a good day, and that you know how much I love you both, and that today as always, I am your Little Miss Adorable…

Your daughter, Guillianna!

Nana… where’s your head?

Hey there Mom and Dad,

First let me say, to my daddy-O, I know you guys can’t call, I was just letting mom know that Nana misses hearing her voice is all.  I know you are sooooo busy, NOT TO MENTION FAR AWAY, and  surprisingly, I even though I am GREAT and dictating my love letters to Nana, I am not so good on the phone, when mommy called, I snoozed right through it…. sorry mom.   I just love getting notes from you both, I can save them forever, and when I can read… I will have a lot of catching up to do. 

Second, not to make you nervous or anything… but… we had an INTERESTING DAY… it started normal, and I was perfect of course… and I ate a new thing that Poppy got me, that Nana says, tastes and smells like vanilla pudding, but it is a baby food, called VANILLA AND GRAINS… uh yeah, my thoughts exactly, but let me tell you  GOOD STUFF, I loved it, ate it all, and just want to say, didn’t spit any of that on Nana, cause I wanted every little bit…

After I ate, Nana had a brilliant idea… she had to go buy new postage stamps for Aunt Arrianna’s graduation announcements… (only a few more days woo woo Aunt Arri) so it meant… you know it  – FIELD TRIP – !

First, I went to see my friends at the U.S. Postal Service, and Miss Mary was there today as well as all the usual gang that I usually get to see. I smiled for them.   Nana got her stamps and then came the crazy part… Nana also thought she would take me to the mall by the post office, and take a photo of me at the Rainforest Cafe, since I just love watching the fish in the water tank, and the decorations everywhere.   I LOVE THAT PLACE… she loaded me up, brought the BLACK BEAST to photograph me, took my stroller, and all my PRINCESS NECESSITIES, as well as all her old lady necessisities… and we were off…now first of all, Nana is not in the best physical shape let’s just say, and lifting me and my car seat, hmmm, NOT PRETTY… but we go slow… R E A L L Y    S L O W , and I have to say, I MEAN  RRRRRREEEEEEEAAAALLLLY slow, but eventually she can get me where I need to be.  

YES, THIS DOES MEAN, SLOW GRANDPARENTS, not to slow down for them!   I am convinced!

We arrive at the Rainforest Cafe, me in my darling little princess purple dress and sun bonnet, and matching shoes, with what else, ruffle socks, and the most adorable smiles you ever wanted to see… whilst looking on at the bubbles and fish… the black beast taken out and the lens cap off…. AND THE BATTERY DEAD!    Nana, seriously, did you really bring me all the way here to look at a DEAD BLACK BEAST!   So we loaded back into the car seat stroller, and walked back to the car, and went home….. NO PHOTOS FOR MOM AND DAD OF ME AND THE FISH!    So I will repeat, not to worry you, but Nana, needs a check list before she tries to do anything without Poppy… and from now on, won’t be such a ‘SLOW THINKING’ NANA!  Good news is, chances are I get another field trip another day to take my photo with the fish, right?

We went home and spent the evening with all the family since my Aunts that go to the University are done!   NO more packed lunches and dinners for them, which makes them happy.   I personally would pack them VANILLA MULTI-GRAIN CEREAL – if I were camp director.   Well, until tomorrow, just know I love you both very much, I am being good, and I am always, your –

Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!   LIKE THE PHOTO SAYS IF YOU CLICK ON IT, IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH A SECOND VIEWING, LOVE THIS PIC!  Nana always puts up new photos, but this one…. is her favorite and you can see how much I have grown, but still smiling, still loving life, and thinking of my mom and my dad!

Mommy called me today!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today I woke up and was so good for Poppy, after we spent the morning hanging around, Nana had to go to the store, and so the three of us grocery shopped, while the Aunt’s slept in and got some much needed rest after the CLEAN A THON yesterday.    When we came home, they went to visit Great Grandma Sharyn and watch the hockey game with her.  After we all hung out at the dinner table, and I was again Little Miss Adorable,

 It was so nice to hear from mommy today, I am sorry I was taking a nap, but next time you call, I am hoping I will be up and you can here one of my stories…   Love you both sooooo much,

Me and Poppy sitting together, I love being at camp, and don’t ever worry about me being good.   I’ve got it covered, I am yours and daddy’s little angel, Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

The one and the only

 PRINCESS

GUILLIANNA!           Oh, by the way, I am sending you both  huge hugs and a bazillion kisses!   I will write you tomorrow with news of the day, and hopefully a great photo shoot for you to enjoy!

Missing You Face!

Dear Mom and Dad,

This is my serious look… Nana takes this spring cleaning thing a little too serious huh mom…   you probably are glad you are not at camp Nana, if she worked you as hard as all of my Aunt’s, the army must be a piece of cake!

Yes, today is spring cleaning.   All of the Aunts are ‘tickled pink’….NOT!  It is a day for cleaning all of camp.   Nana is on a mission I think she is on a mission to drive her kids crazy.   Really I think all the pet hair has just gotten to Nana.   So… everyone is busy busy and let’s just say you know Nana is serious when she sends Aunt Mikayla to the store for extra bottles of cleaning supplies! 

Amidst all of the hullabaloo… they did take time to show me off to you, and let you know I had a good day.   Nana actually let them play with me… in shifts…. I got walked in my stroller, I ate food and sprayed some on Nana, and I laughed, and tried to teach them how to speak my language all day.   I love when I talk in that high pitched squeal, and then I laugh… heres how I do it…

I talk a little, then I just let loose the biggest loudest little squeal, and it makes me laugh out loud! 

Everyone else too, so, if you really want to know the truth, I made spring cleaning FUN.

I told you here at camp I have to be a little TROOPER, AND BE INTO THE WHOLE MICHIGAN THING.   Well they have me wearing cherries mom, CHERRIES, I guess I am glad that Michigan is not known for growing eggplant, or corn…. They would probably look like Barney or they woudl deck me out in corn attire… I say give me some of those ACU things you guys wear!   I would make a great drill Sarg!   I keep everyone here in line pretty darn good.

It’s okay, I can make cherries… look totally cool. 

Most anything I wear ends up looking cute as pie..

Ugggh… bad pun, cherry pie…

Here are more of me..

and hopefully you two will love seeing how big I am and how cute I can be….

Nana says you guys will get her an address soon, and I can send you a care package, and don’t worry daddy, I will get a pink blanky in there for you to snuggle with… Mom too!   Nana wants you guys to send her picture of you … so she can show them to me…. she knows how busy you have been, but if you can get some, we sure would like to have them, MAYBE IF WE LOOK AT PICTURES OF YOU GUYS, there will be LESS singing time for Nana!

I was so co operative today, and took lots of pictures for you to look at over and over, and know that I love you very much, and as always,

Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!
