The travels of a tiny bug

Saturday started like any other day. Sleep, eat, change and eat again. Then my parents stuck me in that contraption again, the one that goes in their backseat, and we were off....

Even though they think I cant see very far, when I am in that contraption I still try to look around, but they block my view with that shade thing cause it gets kinda bright in my eyes. Oh well, time to snooze I guess.

So, after a nice long nap, all of a sudden I am moving. I think I am being carried around, but I wouldnt know because I CANT SEE with that damn shade in my way!

Hmmm. I know, I shouldnt swear cause I am only 5 1/2 weeks old, but everyone else around me does. They think I dont hear them, but I do. Especially my mom. She is the worst at swearing.

So I think I am being carried around and I feel lost. Things feel different and sound different. There is a chirping noise and the air is different. It is dry and my nose feels funny. Just like last time when we went to Reno. But things smells better here and the air feels good on my skin. It is warm, but not like at home. That place is HOT.

When my parents finally move the shade, I am blinded at first, but see these HUGE green things in front of me. Man, what are those things? Are they going to attack me? Are they going to bite me? I then hear my mom's voice and I know I am safe. Dad is there too. He sounds in a hurry. He said something about a "fantasy football draft." Hmmm, I wonder what that is?

After seeing some new things and seeing some familiar faces in a cabin...about 30 minutes later after a quick snack at mom's diner and a diaper change, I am put back in that contraption again and am whisked away. But this time I dont hear dad or see him. He must be tending to that "fantasy" thing he was talking about. What a nerd. Hahahah.

I hear mom talking on the phone. "Yiiippppeeee" she says. Then says something like "auntie J bug." I wonder who that is. Man, I am exhausted all of a sudden...I better go to...zZzzZZZz

Now I am awake. There is this strange lady staring at me. She smells like caramel popcorn. Hmmm. Too bad I dont have teeth.

Speaking of, I am hungry again...where are mom's boobs?

The rest of the visit is kinda a blurr since I slept a lot. I know that we were near the water at one point and that the caramel popcorn lady is Auntie Jbug and her and my mom ate lots of melon, m&m's and other kinds of candy. I remember hearing them laugh a lot. I also remember a lizard and hearing the Sound of Music. I also remember bouncing on a ball and watching my mom and J bug eat, again, at a nice outdoor restaurant. Man, they eat a lot. I guess I do too. I remember liking Auntie J bug. She talked a lot about snowboarding. I'm not sure what that is, but I cant wait to try it out.

So that was my first trip to Tahoe. It was kinda like my first trip to Reno. Getting to know new faces and seeing some faces I have met before. Looking at new colors, shapes and patterns. Hearing things I havent heard before. Trying to take everything in and stay cool and calm so my parents dont have to deal with my fussiness :)
