Wild Animal Park makes Alex brave!

Here are some pictures from our last trip to the Wild Animal Park. They have a new play area that Alex ran around in for about an hour and a half while Kate took a nap in the sling.


Cute story - Alex was running around like a mad man. The kid who in our own house won't let me get two feet away from him took off and didn't look back! At one point he was picking up leaves off the ground and throwing them in the beehive looking thing. Well some kid who looked to be about 6 told Alex to "Stop it!!" in a real loud voice. Mama bear, knowing that Alex would be intimidated by this big kid, started over to intervene. Mind you Alex was not bothering that kid one bit. Well... Alex leaned over and got in that kids face - I mean nose to nose (Alex on his tip toes) and said in the biggest baddest voice I have ever heard, "You are a BAD GUY and you BETTER leave me ALONE!" The big kid tucked tail and ran and did not go near Alex again! I just swelled with pride!













Kate and her friend Sierra

Kate and Sierra, my friend Anne's daughter, were supposed to be about 2 weeks apart in age instead they are about 2 months apart. I got to babysit Sierra the other day and had a blast watching the girls play together! The funny thing is these pictures totally represent me and Anne. Sierra is in the cutest dress with leggings and a barrett in her hair and Kate is in jeans and a t-shirt and barefoot!
