I think Dad was a little nervous about traveling alone with me after my recent behavior, but I was an angel.Not only did I follow directions and behave well on the plane, I was also great the entire time in Richmond.

As soon as Dad turned the shower on at 430am, I bolted out of bed, got dressed and was ready to go. I've never been so excited to go somewhere before. With a flight delay, Dad and I had to run to catch our flight to Richmond but I managed to keep right up and we just made it.Meanwhile, Mom, T and Ax enjoyed a day of http://juniperanderson.com/2011/12/dad-and-i-flew-to-virginia-early-this.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sari Anderson)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442219785394605611.post-5456557767894271483Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:17:00 +00002011-12-06T11:25:10.976-07:00With new snow on Saturday, we had our first family ski day of the season on Sunday. Mom, Dad, Axel, T and I enjoyed the day at Snowmass. Axel and Mom stayed on the Skittles gondola while Dad, T and I ventured up the mountain further.I jumped right back into it not forgetting a thing from last year and showed Axel what skiing is all about.

Axel, Dad, Mimi and I survived without Mom but I wasn't very well behaved. I exhausted Dad and Mimi. Sorry. We had lots of fun though and Mimi even volunteered at school.Mom took us to pick up our skis for the season.

There are not words to describe how much fun Axel and I had. Mom and Dad had fun as well but not as much as us.

Today he realized what was going on when Dad and I dropped him off so he cried. Then of course I cried as he set me off.

The only thing that would be better is that if Dad could be here with us. We have had so much fun playing non-stop. We even got to enjoy Bailey's Beach in Newport yesterday with Mom's friends Liz and Duncan.

Since Mom is not much of a climber, she said to ask Mike Schneiter to take me sometime. Normally I'm a little shy about asking for things like that but I asked Mike as he let me in the door and of course he said he'd take me sometime.

I cannot begin to explain how much fun we had.Pam, Emily, Shane, Mom, Joy, Selah and I all went on the slide while little Axel had to watch. Next year he'll be ready. Sorry buddy.

I'm not sure if I'm more excited about being four or the party but both were very cool.Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate on Thursday for my party so we postponed it until Friday and I got a replacement special treat - a trip to the movie theater with Mom and Dad.
