Gator Park with friends

A few weeks ago we took a short drive to the Gator Park. It was our first time out there and we had a great time! Abby was able to see live alligators and watch them feed them. She was fascinated by them and all the other exotic animals at the park. We met up with our friends and had a great time. We hope to make it out there again with Daddy in tow! :)


With her friends, Ana and Sydney.


watching the alligators...

feeding time!



this animal was interesting....he's the largest RODENT in the US! He was huge!


with a baby Kangaroo...too cute!




the billy goats were vicious...they wanted our food! The one on the left liked sticking his tongue out at us...haha!


Yep, that's me feeding the camel...not by hand of course! I thought he'd swallow it!



Abby and the camel



feeding some more goats

looking at the ponies


not exactly sure what animal this was but my guess is a YAK.

She loved feeding the ponies...got closer this time!

they were hungry!


this little pony was the cutest thing ever....she was soooo tiny.

Abby and Ana were amazed at how tiny she was!



This guy just stared you down! He was like a statue!



feeding the mini donkeys!


What a great outing!


Unexpected snow

Our mini snowmen!

she loved licking the snow!


grabbing snow off the fence ledge...to make snowballs.


She was having a blast!



Though it wasn't alot it was still nice to see snow!




Back in March we had an unexpected snowfall one Sunday. We were all excited about the snow and although it was not nearly enough like the previous time it was still enough to make some mini snowmen. Abby loved it! I was really happy it snowed again since Dan was able to experience it with us this time.

Outside Fun




A few weeks ago we bought Abby a new playset. She's been asking for one and we knew she was missing her old one in Texas. Luckily, we found a really nice one (on sale too!) and starting working on it. I can't believe Dan put it all together (by himself, I might add.) in one weekend. Abby was so excited to have her new playset and we love spending time outdoors. Since then we've added a garden and a new patio set to our outdoor space. We love spending time outdoors!

Easter bunny visit

Last week while we were in Missouri over the Easter break we went to one of our favorite stores, Bass Pro. The Easter bunny happened to be there and we couldn't resist stopping by for some quick photos! I wasn't sure what Abby was going to do but she was excited about seeing him then a bit shy once she got up there. Here are some photos of her visit with the Easter bunny.
