Zoe started the morning by keeping me company as I got her stuff packed. She practiced her new climbing skills to get up into her chair with a book and her bear. This little one is picking up on some of my favorite past times: climbing (I was my mom's little climber, getting into lots of mischief) and reading! I wonder if it's too late to deter her from the climbing?....
Z was a total champ on the long drive down. She did a great job of entertaining herself for the first half of the trip with her books and doll while I sat up front in hopes she'd take a nap. And she did! Not the entire way, but we grabbed some lunch after she woke and she was still in great form by the time we arrived.
It's been a while since there's been a little one in our branch of the family tree and it seemed everyone enjoyed Zoe's youthful energy.
Hanging with Grandma Leona
Giggling at Grandpa Derrel's buzzy bee finger
In fact, this was pretty much the view I had of Zoe as she went on her explorations through the house all weekend long.
Zoe also had a great time catching up with her big cousins. She absolutely adored Hannah who is turning into a sweet little lady. I'd be more than fine with Zoe using Hannah as a bit of a role model as she grows up.

Getting up, but refusing to rough it down without mom's help
Snuggles (lots of them) with Auntie Tammy
Meeting 4th cousin, Mia!
Sweet girl in a pretty dress (from Auntie Miren)
Gotcha!
All in all it was a nice visit with everyone...even with the abrupt 'nutty' ending :S
