Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

Whoa! Incredible post with some great pics and story! Welcome to Steemit! :)

very nice travelling @katecloud cheers full

I think you just put me into cute overload. :) So many good photos. I think your daughter will remember it forever.

I really love all that you are doing with your daughter. What cool ways to spend time together. Looks like you both have quite a bit of personality and fun and that's not mentioning your puppy. (Lucy is a special name to me because my niece Lucy was born in a firehouse because of all the snow preventing travel to the hospital Lucy Grace Hojnacki )

Thanls for sharing a little snapshot into the love / life you and your daughter (and furry four legged daughter) share together. It's a beautiful thing!

Wow this is wonderful! Wish I could have done this with my mother when I was a girl. You are a great mom! Your daughter is lucky to have you. Beautiful pictures!

Loved the trip idea and photo story. One suggestion would be to reduce the size of photos -- this would improve their quality and clearness.

very touching

Just awesome, amazing post!

Hope to see you in Chile someday

I absolutely love this, @katecloud. Seriously amazing.
