Traveling! First up: Arizona

(While travelling we wrote a lot of posts, but didn’t have internet to actually post them, so the next few posts are old and I’m just getting around to finishing them up now…)

I started residency in June and haven’t had any vacation… until now! 4 weeks! We’ve definitly been making the most of it. We first went to Arizona to visit Sage’s parents (Oma Peggy and Grandpa Lester). Riley really enjoyed seeing them and exploring their house, which has lots of pictures and little things to look at at.

Meeting the dogs was also an experience… at first she was incredibly afraid and burst into tears whenever they came close, even if she was being held way above them. Gradually we got her more comfortable, until finally she was brave enough to pet them. She was so excited and started screaming. Poor dogs then got pretty scared of her. She of course wanted to chase them around
the house the rest of the time we were there. Tumultuous relationship over all.

She also really enjoyed all the birds who visit the many bird feeders outside the house, and playing with the bird seed was pretty
fun too.
