At the end of July, "Big Ammie" (Wendy's grandma), Ammie, Wendy and Maylee took a road trip to Portland. Uncle Kevin and Aunt Shelly wanted to experience the zoo, Oregon Coast, aquarium, and Tillamook Cheese factory with Maylee before they move to Denver in August.
A couple of times on the trip, we let Big Ammie's dog, Yankee, ride on Maylee's lap...

At Aunt Jan's house, Maylee made Ammie and Big Ammie get on the floor and play "Ni-nite" with her...
We left Big Ammie at Jan's house so she could spend time with Jan's family while we went on to Portland.
We stopped by Kev's distant cousin's house to see them and one of Cinder's puppies.
They choose a loving chocolate female named Payton. Maylee enjoyed their trampoline!
Next, we went to Uncle Kevin and Aunt Shelly's apartment. It was surprisingly close to Kev's relatives, just three blocks away! Wendy helped Shelly get dinner ready while Uncle Kevin and Ammie took Maylee to the closest park. Two days later, Wendy walked Maylee down to the same park and at every intersection Maylee told Wendy how to get there. She also knew how to get back to the apartment, including which set of stairs and apartment door! The other amazing thing she said was "That's Papa's bike!" while pointing to the motorcycle in the back of Kevin's truck. What made all of our mouths drop was that she last saw the bike three weeks prior in Ammie's garage and no one told her that the truck was Kevin's. Kevin never once walked to his truck prior to her saying this. She didn't know that Kevin came to Idaho to pick it up weeks earlier and the truck was just parked on the street like a dozen other vehicles. She is very observant!




She loved the purple flowers on this plant found along the walk between the park and Kevin's place.
She told Ammie to take her picture...
