Zoo With Tia Anna

Great view from up here!

I LOVE the elephants

I know the orangoutangs have big hands if they're bigger than Tia Anna's!

[This was our last visit on our Louisville-reciprocity pass... guess we'll have to act like real residents and buy an actual Greenville Zoo pass now!]

Family Dinner

The contents of my purse (minus the keys & chapstick, which fell out in the car)

Impressive how much one little purse can hold, huh?

Trying to Show Her Age

06/08/12 edit:  She has been trying for about 2 weeks now to show only TWO fingers-- before, she gave it up as a lost cause, I guess.  We got this video when she still couldn't do it... now, she can (very proudly)!

The 1st night of the festival downtown

With William Wallace!

Getting past the sand-texture and enjoying it (finally!)

Enthralled by the dancing

Dancing myself!

In N.C.

Getting practice loving on a newborn (my cousin Addie)

I FINALLY got to meet this baby cousin Mommy kept leaving to go see!  At least I had my Tia Anna to play with me in the meantime.

At "Mrs. Susan's" (Uncle Colin's mom) house, I learned to "make beau'ful t'ings with Play-dough!

Someone took a picture of me sleeping... Mommy slept next to me, and didn't even mind when I put my feet in her back & kicked all night long.  I did wake up and see her beside me, and I was so happy that I gave her back massages.

With the Newly-Dr. GB!

His hat looks best on me, don't you think?

GB and Tia Anna "Graduated" -- I have no idea what that means, but I do know that any time I see orange, I say "Clemson!  Like GB & Tia Anna!"

Barnes & Noble

Reading to Mommy & Daddy

Stuffed Versions of Gerald & Piggy, My FAVORITE Literary Characters
(from Mo Willems' "Elephant & Piggy" series)

As you can see, we frequently have family dates to our local B & N stores around town-- we go to Story Time on Saturdays, or just get treats in their cafe and read lots of books, play with their train table & legos, and read e-books on our Nook.  Already Eowyn knows the bookstore is a cool place to go!
