Bayou Wildlife Preserve

-

On Saturday we went with the playgroup to the Bayou Wildlife Preserve in Alvin, TX. It was tons of fun. The animals come right up to the cars and eat from you hands. We saw everything from cows and horses to lamas and ostriches. The kids had a blast and didn't want to leave. Here are some picture highlights from our day.


They had a goat petting area. Loyd and Bekah touched nearly every goat they had. Here the goats are sampling Loyd. I guess he doesn't taste that great because he came home with all his fingers and toes intact.


Bekah was more brave than I anticipated. She loved the goats and even fed some goats and elk right from her hand. My brave little gal!


We took advantage of the free pony rides they offered. Bekah didn't need any help from Momma to tackle this rough rider.


Here is Loyd channeling his rancher roots. He did great and held on for the whole horsey ride! (so did Momma!) Ride 'em cowboy!


Ok, so this isn't the wildlife park, but it is pretty funny. Rebekah decided she didn't want to take her nap in bed on Friday. Sleeping in her tube fort was much more fun!

So how cool are we to update our blogs with the same event at almost the same time? My computer is soooooo slow that it's taken me longer than you, I bet.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
