America Part 4--BIrmingham!

From Atlanta, we headed on to Birmingham, where we visited with my Dad's Aunt Pat and Uncle Tom. They live in a really tall building with lots of space to run, really nice, big curtains, and a tall, tall balcony. Most excitingly, they gave me a beautiful tea set, which I play with on a daily basis. I have become quite the hostess at our house and everyone around gets a cup of my tea.

Here I am with my beautiful Aunt Pat and my handsome Daddy and Uncle Tom.
I really liked going out on the balcony and looking down at all the people below. At the end of the day, the sun sets and you can see it looking like a big, red ball from Pat and Tom's balcony. But my favorite thing was to look down at some kids playing below. They had an actual ball (not the sun) and I'm a huge fan of balls.
I was also a little bit obsessed with Pat and Tom's shower and tubs. Normally, I'm really scared of the shower, but I'm pretty sure that if I could have taken a shower in this one, I would have had fun.

As for the tub....well, it was awesome and much bigger and more exciting than the tub in my house. Tom let me play around in it for a while, but I didn't get to take a bath in it. Next time!
No family get together is complete unless you get some stickers stuck on your head.

We took a walk around Pat and Tom's neighborhood, too! Here, Pat and I sport our sun hats in one of the parks near their house. It was hot!

When we were in Birmingham, we stayed in an awesome hotel with a glass elevator and a pool. We went up and down the elevator as many times as we possibly could and every time we got off I ran to the door of the pool. FINALLY my parents took me swimming. It was ice cold on the outside of the pool, but really warm when we were in there. My favorite game was to splash my Dad while my mom was holding me. He couldn't splash back because my mom was using me as a human shield. Crafty, Mama is teaching me lots of good tricks.

It was great to see Pat and Tom and I can't wait to visit them again. But the next time we take a road trip, we have to get our luggage situation under control.
