Going to Grant's Farm

Today was such a beatiful day, spring in July. We decided we couldn't just sit around the house, so we called up our friends and went to Grant's Farm. Jimmy and I and MC and MC really enjoyed the tram ride and seeing all the animals, but here's how Corrina spent most of the time at the farm.

Here are some fun pics from the day. How beautifully colorful are those birds! They sing God's praises not only in song but in how they show his wonderfully creative, artistic side. This picture doesn't come close to showing the rich colors in their feathers. (Guess ya'll will just have to come visit and we'll go see them together.)

Corrina finally decided to wake up so she did get to see a few animals--a donkey, horses, a camel, who by the way tried to bite my face off...I was standing there talking to the camel, and suddenly he came at my face with his mouth open. He was very fast. Made me scream and jump back...I'm just waiting for someone's random video of it to show up on UTube. hehe...

Corrina was a bit unsure about the camel, as you can see, but she did end up petting him.

Here are some more of my fav pics of the day.

My First 4th

Yesterday was my first 4th of July, and I had a great 4th of July dress from my Meemaw and Papaw and Aunties! We had so much fun hanging out with our friends. We went to L and NK's family lake house and spent the day enjoying the gorgeous weather by riding on a boat, playing on the beach, swimming in the lake, and eating lots of food (well, Daddy and Mommy ate lots of food). Here is a pic of me on my first boat ride! I loved it; it was so fun being on the water and watching the waves from the boat.

I love to swim and here are pics of my first time swimming in a lake! I'm so glad no fish came and nibbled my toes, and Mommy was soooo glad we didn't see any snakes.

Too bad I fell asleep before the fireworks, but I was so tuckered out. Oh well, maybe next year. Thank you so much LK and NK for inviting us to celebrate with you!
