USA - August 2013

In August it was my cousin Iris's first birthday. I have never met her so Mummy and I decided that it was the perfect time for a visit so we flew to Maine!

She is so beautiful that I was literally bowled over!


Even though we had just arrived I was missing Daddy so much that we needed to see him on Facetime

 And give him a big kiss!

Iris and I made great car buddies

And Uncle Rob sorted us out with some real USA pizza!

We went to his AMAZING house

It really is a piece of paradise 

He even has fairy lights in his kitchen!
 And lots of space for playing


 And a trampoline! 
 We even saw dragon flies. Mummy didn't realize how good they were at keeping away the mozzies.

We went to visit pinket pond - it was really really fun



I was able to practice my stone skimming 

It was really fun exploring Richmond where Granny and Grandpa live. I was last here when I was 7 months old! It was Christmas then and much colder so the sunshine was a lovely change. 




We went to Annabelles cafe for breakfast
And Granny Runa and I had SO much fun together



I overcame my fear of cats and managed to brush Winston!


 Not forgetting Grandpa's socks 
I got to snuggle with cousinTrinx 

And Aunt Polly! 


And have a bounce on Uncle Rob's trampoline with Iris! 

Iris got to have a BIG chocolate cake but as it was her first she was a bit confused to start with...
But she figured it out fairly quickly 


Delicious!

To celebrate Iris's birthday Uncle Rob organised some bands

That's my Great Uncle Ian enjoying the music with Mummy
 There was lots of yummy food and I was sure to eat of everyone's plate

to make sure I had enough energy for dancing!

 We went for hours! 

It really was a very special family time

 Three generations of Mackenzie women!


 Mummy and her beautiful Niece

And with Uncle Rob

Iris and I had lots of time to have fun together although sometimes Iris couldn't see very much! 

I got to eat an icecream from the best icecream stop in town


 Tim's of course! 

And Granny and Grandpa took me to the local playground

While I brought out their youth


They looked after me so well





Even the supermarket is fun in America!
