Month: June 2013

Today I went to the Magic House with Mom. This was one of my favorite stops last summer and held true this year again.

I loved the music room.

They had a Storybook Village where you could become characters from great children’s stories. I liked being an elf and mending shoes.

Bubbles were a huge hit as well. I liked exploring the different shapes the bubbles made.

I blew giant bubbles.

I became a giant bubble.

I made a huge bubble centipede.

They had a giant pin board. I kept trying to get all the pins one direction and eventually accomplished my goal. Then I immediately threw myself face first into the pin board!

I learned that the more pulleys the less work you have to do to lift something.

I went fishing many many many times.

You can follow your fake fish down the river and back to the pond.

I made Daddy an ice cream cone.

I nursed a sick kitty back to health. It had a broken tail.

The Water Works area was fun and wet.

We dropped B off at camp this afternoon. I got to touch snakes, a bearded dragon and a wallaby! Mommy found a porcupine quill on the ground and I got to keep it!

We stopped for dinner on the way home. After dinner I had some really yummy cookie dough ice cream toppings. Since I don’t eat ice cream I still get to enjoy the toppings!

Today we toured Onondaga Caves. We got there a bit early to ensure we were in the first group so we weren’t late getting Breighton off to camp.

The caves were massive!

We saw many bats and some really neat cave structures.

We were the only people on the tour. I guess everyone slept in today! It was nice to have the guide all to ourselves so we could ask all the questions we wanted.

I am definitely getting more brave as the days pass. I am jumping into the pool now! The weather here in St. Louis was a bit crisp and the pool wasn’t terribly warm just yet.

I kept having to take warm up breaks!

We were up really early since we are in a different time zone! We went out and got donuts for breakfast.

We ate one in the parking lot while waiting for Grant’s Farm to open. We are glad we came early because by the time we left the wait was over an hour to get in the door.

We rode the carousel.

We rode a camel!

This was actually pretty fun.

I seem taller to Mommy today!

Feeding the goats was MUCH better this year. Last year they knocked me over and tried to eat me alive.

We managed to get Mommy in a few photos too!

Checking out the kangaroos.

A roller skating scarlet macaw?

Harris hawk that was being naughty and not flying on command.

This macaw was really great at the right toss game.

I loved the barred owl.

The macaw thought he was the Anheuser Eagle!

We fed the goats again from the outside of the enclosure. One mean goat stole my entire bottle, but Daddy was able to rescue it!

We saw an elephant show.

Walking the balance beam.

LOOK OUT!

Last stop was out to see the Clydesdales.

This is Scott. He was very handsome.
