Spring Break (part 2)

Maia and "Ant Tay-wah" spent some more quality time together on Friday.

Maia loves to look outside for the neighbor's "bi-ci-coh" (motorcycle, he has a large Harley), and will squeal excitedly if she sees their dog or a squirrel or some "boo-dees! seen-en?" (birdies singing) They spent LOTS of time playing in Maia's kitchen, and Tara identified some tools that Maia's work space was lacking (namely a spatula), to use with the McDonald's food set that Nana Effie got for Maia. In addition to my difficult week at work, I've been fighting off some bug (which are always harder to fight off while pregnant) and I find myself pretty tired. So Tara sends me away for a nap, since there are many hands to take care of Maia while I sleep. So a little more outside time.

Maia used to be able to easily identify a football (she would get very excited when football was on TV in the fall/winter). Now she thinks most balls are "Socco-baaa!"

Aunt Tara, Uncle Dave (Unco Dafe!) and Maia went for a walk, too.

And a family weekend could not go by without some video gaming.

"Wan some?" Checking out all the stuff in her new bag.

In the evening, the guys went to the last Griffins game of the year.

The Griffs reportedly majorly outplayed the opposing team.

Dollar beer and dollar dogs!

While the guys were at the game, the ladies went out for Chinese Buffett. We had thought to go to the mall to let Maia play on the breakfast food, but ran out of time before bedtime.
