(As portrayed by Mom & Dad)
We say goodbye to Ohio until next time today. We made the most of our day playing with the neighbors and finishing off a few fireworks.
We used a huge rock to avoid getting burn marks all over the driveway.
We called it “snake rock”.
Good-bye Grandma Susie, see you soon!
Buying Skylanders, especially the ones we are missing!
Collecting bugs!!! I love catching LOTS of daddy long legs.
Drawing on the floor of the basement.
Building machines and inventions from Great Grandpa’s old tool bench parts.
Using a slip and slide and actually figuring out how it works!
Making a fort under the bed. It was nice and cool!
Sharing with my brother. I know, weird, huh?
Collecting LOTS of candy from the parade!
Knowing that the parade is coming very soon and I don’t have to wait much longer!
Seeing the first truck and running to grab candy. (I kept running out near the cars (all the kids were) and I was facing where the trucks were going and didn’t see a van with an open door coming up behind me… Mommy yelled LOUD (I had earplugs in). The van stopped just in time to avoid me becoming a road pancake!)
Fireworks! I was SO wound up!! SO SO SO would up! We had a great time doing fireworks with the neighbors.
Suddenly, I liked the loud noises horns make!
I just loved climbing in all the trucks. THis is a huge change for me.
I even got to do all the bounce houses. I liked this one the best. They strap you in to a buggy cord and you have to run and slap a sticky block on the wall to mark how far you got. I loved bouncing a little and flying backwards!
Baby animals also make me happy.
Even horses make me happy today.
But the happiest of all is me in the river, again!
I played Happy Birthday on the keyboard for great Granny for her birthday tonight.
She blew out her candles without spitting on the cake!
I giggled because she kept eating the cake with her hands.
Mom said when you are 94 you can do whatever you want!!!
Happy 94th Great Granny!
Enjoy your cake!
A chilly summer day (read 73F) here in Ohio and we headed over to Pennsylvania for a fun day out with animals. They let you hand feed just about every animal in the park. I loved the goats.
This little brown goat was just born today. Park of his umbilical cord was still attached!
I rode a camel with Nomake.
I just loved feeding he otters! They love the carrots.
They had a baby giraffe. His tongue was SUPER long.
The porcupine loved the pellet food.
I taught everyone about the difference in the white and regular tigers.
The water buffalo was so silly. He had a HUGE mouth!
The prairie dogs were super cute, but Mom said I couldn’t have one as a pet right now.
I fed some birds. They pooped a lot.
The kangaroos were just lounging around until I came up. THis one hopped up and nibbled my carrot!
We fed alligators.
The muntjak was a funny looking things.
We took a wagon ride and got to get up close and feed some of the hoofed animals. We weren’t allowed to hand feed the zebra but we could toss it food.
The Watusi Cattle were HUGE! I never realized how large they were before. His horns kept bumping the wagon.
White buffalo are very rare. They are born 1 in every 1000 buffalo!
Back to the petting area and feeding the goats and alpacas.
The Poland library had a stuffed animal sleepover today! We went in at 6:30pm for story time and tucking our animals in for the night.
I took “Meere the Meerkat”.
After we tucked them in we sang goodnight and twinkle twinkle little star.
The next day we had to go back at 10am to pick them up and have donuts and juice.
With each animal there was a piece of paper with photos of all the things that the stuffed animals did after we left! It was hilarious. They had a lot of fun!
