Big, scary (or not so scary) dinosaurs!

I love dinosaurs. I have dinosaur books, dinosaur figures and we even went to the movie theatre for the first time to see a Dinosaur movie called Ice Age! I loved it. The other day, on our way to Hamilton to visit Gammie, we stopped at a place that had BIG HUGE dinosaurs! i went pretty close to the Stegosaurus and T-Rex but the Brontosaurus was so big I had to tilt my head up as high as I could to see his face. He was a little scary so I kept my distance.

I saw some other creatures this week as well. We went to African Lion Safari. We had monkey’s jump on our car!

I fed some goats. I really enjoyed that and kept asking Dad to get another quarter so we could get more food for them!

Best of all, I rode on an elephant! Mom couldn’t believe that I wanted to. (I don’t know why. The elephant Jenny that we rode on is only 9 ft tall and 9000 lbs!) It was really cool to be up so high and to feel the elephants head.

Things that hop, go vroom and taste yum!

We have a backyard bunny again this year. Last year a bunny had babies right in our garden. This year, the bunny is just eating the flowers in the many patches of clovers in our grass.

The first week of July we went to visit Gramma and Grampa because Daddy was renovating the basement. They have new vehicles every time we go but this time, they had new vehicles that I could play with! They have an inflatable car! It is for floating in the water with. I thought it was funny to stick my legs through the holes and walk around pretending I was driving.

The other new vehicle is a John Deere backhoe loader! I will admit that I was not as excited and anxious to drive it as Mom thought I would be but I did give it a little spin. I also filled the loader bucket with pine cones. I will get used to driving it as I get older.

It rained most of the time we were at Gramma and Grampa’s but the last day there it stopped enough for us to go strawberry picking. Yummy! There was a little doggie at the farm that was following me and trying to sniff in my bucket. It was funny.
