Dinotown

On the nicest day this week we joined our friends on a trip to Dinotown. The girls enjoyed themselves thoroughly trying out every color of prehistoric car & pterodactyl there was to ride. Now this may age me, but the last time I was there it was Flinstone Park... not too much had changed from what I remember.


Melissa & Milan...

now which way is forward?




Hanging on for dear life?!


A live show for our viewing pleasure...

and the girls were certainly pleased... their attention was held for the whole show.... very amazing!

A little paddle boat ride, Melissa first time paddling a boat...

ahhh.... good times!

Beading a necklace with Nana

This weekend Melissa visited Nana & Pop. Nana had a great craft for Melissa to do... beading a necklace. Here she is making it and wearing it with great pride!

Going Circles

This weekend Melissa's cute little boy-friend Dominic can over to play. They enjoyed taking turns riding Melissa's tractor and burning energy 'going circles'.

Picnic in the Park

Yesterday we joined Kiera & family for a picnic in the park.
The girls had a great time together...

Kiera snuck Melissa and herself an extra chocolate brownie...

Melissa didn't eat her's as fast... and Kiera is eyeing it up!

The girls enjoying the view...

here Kiera is asking Melissa "Do you see any cows?"

Melissa dishing some juicy gossip... ?!?

The girls running off to the sunset, as it is time to go home.

Zoo Visit

Today we went to the zoo on our playdate with Haley & Milan.
The girls (& moms) took in all the animals sights, sounds, & smells.

Milan & Melissa looking at the friendly giraffe who came very...

very close up!



The girls rode in comfort in Melissa's wagon.

Not quite sure why Melissa is giving such an expressive face :)

Some so ugly/cute pigs...

which Melissa tried to feed grass to.

Snack time.

Burning off some energy... chasing ducks... Melissa cared more to watch :)

Sitting on the bench looking at the little bear who wasn't playing with his red ball.

A camel close up.



Waiting for the train ride to end our visit.

Little Wrapper

Melissa has become quite fond of eating wraps with us. Here she is eating a tuna wrap that Dad made for her ... probably the longest one yet!!!
