I had a doctor appointment on Wednesday. This is what the kids did to amuse themselves while we waited.
Baby zebra--three weeks old.
HUGE buffalo that ate out of our hands.
Mabry feeding zebra. He did eat out of her hands. SWEET, isn't it?
Proof that we took a real family trip.
Gosh, it has been a while since we updated, but life gets busy sometimes. Last week, Mabry went to overnight camp for the first time with her friend, Amanda. She had a blast and cannot wait for next year when she gets to spend a whole week there. Mabry will spend a week at girl scout camp at Cedar Point, a week at Hopewell, and a week at Lake Stephens. She can't wait!!!
She is still reading a LOT. She has read all of the Ramona books now and we are looking for new series to read. Any suggestions? Her reading level is really high and not all books are appropriate for a seven year old that reads at her level. I am actually thinking of getting her on Babysitters' Club. Help me please!
The bike--oh, the bike. After the spectacular first day of riding, nothing. She will barely attempt to ride the thing. She has a really hard time getting it started and thinks the scooter is easier. I think the scooter is about to disappear.
Gabe is still Gabe. He plays, eats, and cries. He is saying more words every day and we are beginnning to understand a lot more of them too. My favorite is when he sees his dad and says, "Hi, Guy!" Guy doesn't like that.
We had our bathroom replumbed this week making for a difficult week of finding stuff to do for the entire day while trying to get Gabe a nap as well. We spent two days at work, one day in the Delta celebrating Louise's birthday, and we also went to the fabulous Tupelo Buffalo Park. It was absolutely amazing to be that close to animals. Zoos are awesome, but we actually touched zebras, zonkeys (a cross of a zebra and donkey), kangaroos, and buffalo. There were some animals in very small cages with chain link fences that was sad, but otherwise, an awesome park! Mabry had zebras and kangaroos eating out of her hands. Guy and I had buffalo eat out of ours and then blow snot on us. Gabe just talked seriously to the animals, I guess telling them how to behave. There was a three week old zebra, a zebra almost ready to give birth, and a giraffe that was only three months old. AWESOME!!!! If you are ever near Tupelo, go visit--it is so worth it.
