Month: April 2011

Feeding the ducks and other birds while Breighton looked at the kangaroos.

Waiting for Breighton to ride the roller coaster, AGAIN!

Hanging out with Mommy while B climbed in Jungala. Someday I will not be afraid of the climbing.

I loved crawling in the tunnels and seeing all the fish. In this tunnel if you looked straight up you could see BATS!

I also met Jack Hanna. He is holding me from falling off the stage while Mommy quickly snapped a rather bad picture. At least Jack was looking good! I was so excited to see all the animals in the show. I am following in Breighton’s footsteps and becoming quite the animal lover! 🙂

Showing off our gymnastics talent!

   

I love hanging with the big kids.

I am just a tag along. I have to do what the big kids do.

I loved hanging out with Breighton at homeschool history days. Mommy made a topographic map of my hand. I really liked learning all about maps.

I helped Breighton make a really neat floor compass rose.

I even made a compass out of a needle, magnets and a Styrofoam.

I even got to sort and classify like Breighton but I used foam blocks!

With our passes to Great Explorations we get into the aquarium for free this month. As a reward for Breighton doing well at the studio we got to visit the Florida Aquarium for the entire day.

I loved seeing all the animals at a nice and slow pace. I really liked the great horned owl.

The horseshoe crabs were very funny. They kept trying to climb the wall… backwards!

There were a lot of turtles.

We even watched a few shows. This one was about training animals. They had a SKUNK! Don’t worry he was de-scented.

The jelly fish were another of my favorite animals.

We were all smiles looking at all the wonderful things at the aquarium.

Breighton showed me how to do the puzzles.

We took a behind the scenes tour and got to see the kitchen where they prepare all the food for the animals. This was a frozen rat!

We saw how all the tanks worked from above.

I LOVED watching the giant sea turtle being fed! He targets the feeding stick and then gets rewarded with a fish stuffed with vitamins!

I got to touch an alligator TWICE today!

After we visited with all the animals we played at the Explore a Shore outdoor spray area. Mommy was impressed I made it through 7.5 hours at the aquarium with only asking to be carried a few minutes. I zonked out as soon as I was buckled into my car seat. I slept the entire way home and then another 15 min in the car in the driveway while Mommy and Breighton threw a frisbee around in the yard near me.

We visited Mill Creek Farm on our last day in Ohio. They had a baby animal birthday party going on complete with cake and juice.

We played on all the tractors.

I loved petting the bunnies.

The goats were awesome as well.

My favorite was the duck duck duck…GOOSE! I really liked the ducks.

Baaaa. I asked Mommy is this was a “baa baa black sheep”?

Fuzzy Bunny! I love fuzzy bunnies!

HAY! Hay is for horses not for little boys and girls. Breighton and I have been walking around saying that for weeks now. We picked it up from a few books we have been reading and now won’t let it go. Just don’t say HAY around us and you will be just fine!

From snow to tummy ick I enjoyed every moment in Ohio. I enjoy it more every time we visit. I can’t wait to come back over the summer for fireflies, fireworks and worms!
