Everything's a first

Whew! Sorry for my delinquent posting. Just recovering from my wild weekend (like Dad - more on that when I turn 21 and can hear the story). Anywhooo... it was full of "firsts."

First long distance car trip - Dad was appalled at how much stuff I need. And how long it takes to get out the door. Sorry - all I can say is "like mother like daughter"...

First time at the cottage...

First time Grandpa Bill and Mom held me at the cottage
(and first time in my fancy outfit from Grandma Katie)...

First time meeting my cousins - Bubba and Cash. They loved me...

First time at Tasty Treat...

First time Dad used his pants as my blanket (and to secure me)...

First hotel stay...

First time hanging out with a fancy Mom and Dad...

First time watching a wedding (from a balcony with Grandma Betty - who was my first babysitter). Congrats to Sam and Brendan!...

First time at a wedding reception - and first time meeting Uncle Billy (who loved me)...

First time crossing the Mackinac Bridge (and Mom says last time doing so on Labor Day)...

First time sittin' shotgun...

First stop at a scenic overlook...

And first time in Escanaba - but that's for another day!
