Farm Fun

Carolyn and I went on a field trip with our moms group to a farm! She was super excited about going to see the cows and they were her favorite animal. It was really neat - we could get close enough to all the animals to touch them! Carolyn also enjoyed the hens (one of her favorite books right now is the Little Red Hen) and we even saw some eggs in the henhouse (and purchased some to bring home!). Much to Carolyn's delight, the pigs were in a mud puddle!




Carolyn has also been really into cooking in her kitchen and helping in mine. She decided she needed some oven mits, and ran to get her winter mittens!

Carolyn's First Bike

Carolyn has been asking for a bike for a few weeks now. I wasn't sure what to do about this because bikes are expensive and she's awfully little/young for a bike.

Today at a garage sale Carolyn found a bike. She ran over it to it and said "this is Carolyn's size" very matter of factly. So, Carolyn got a bike and mom and dad are pleased to have spent $3! :)

Craft Time!

Carolyn and one of her little friends painted these giraffe masks yesterday!

Carolyn thinks the good side should face her....

An Update on Our Plants!

Things are really growing! Unfortunately, we're not sure what everything is because our labels got washed away! We'll have surprises!

Carolyn's grass-man - he really grew!! She still likes him, but is now more interested in our plants growing for the garden.

It feels like summer here!

We've enjoyed such a fun spell of GREAT weather for almost 3 weeks now! It truly has felt like summer here! The highs have been in the seventies and we've been in shorts and t-shirts every day. We've enjoyed several trips a week to the park and ice cream!

Yum!


And...the warmer weather and more activity has exhausted our little Carolyn! She's back to napping more often than not - at least for this week!

Zoo!

We took Carolyn to the zoo last Saturday and she had such a great time! It was an hour and a half away, but worth the drive for a fun day for our family!! Hilariously, we found out after the fact that there is a bigger zoo with more animals less than an hour away.... Oh well, that makes for another fun day trip this summer!!

Here are some highlights:

Carolyn the Tiger!


Getting to pet a giant bunny - this bunny weighs 18 pounds!

Checking out the alligators - also check out Carolyn's new sandals! Stride Rites for over 50 percent off at a going out of business sale!

Carolyn really enjoyed the sea lion show - this was probably her favorite part of the day!

The camel - he was a little too friendly - he licked Carolyn's stroller and got his spit all over it!!

Mommy and Carolyn - I love my munchkin!

Carolyn's Ocean Picture

Carolyn had a great time making a craft with me this morning after my running group.

She found this purple crepe paper while I was cleaning out a cabinet and she said she'd like to use it to make an octopus. So, we made a whole ocean! :)
