Lazy 5 Ranch & Daddy's Birthday

This past Saturday, Daddy & Mommy took me to Lazy 5 Ranch in Moorseville. We got to ride a wagon and feed animals. I had so much fun. I got to go with some friends of mine from playgroup, and we had the best time. The animals were so fun!

Here I am feeding some animals with Mommy. It was really cool to feed them!

Then, I fed some animals with Daddy...check out that animal's (I think the water buffalo) tongue!
Then, I tried it all by myself...but, when I did it by myself, I would just throw the food on the ground!
Then, I just talked to the water buffalo while Daddy fed him!
Here we all are...a group shot of me with my friends from playgroup.

(I'm in the front middle if you can't find me!)

Look at me with Mommy and the giraffe. Notice that I am also squeezing the food in my hands. It took me about 15-20 minutes of riding in the wagon before I would let go of it. I just held it and watched!

Then, Daddy and I fed the baby animals!

Here are a few of us with some pumpkins...aren't we just so cute?
My shirt was appropriate for the day...I do love horses...what a great day it was!

On October 4, my Daddy turned 30. Since Mommy had already taken him to Niagara Falls as a surprise trip (see pictures below), we just celebrated at lunch with some of my uncles, aunts, & cousins at Olive Garden. That night, Mommy and I took Daddy out to dinner at Red Rocks. It was a great day!

Here I am with Daddy...right after he opened his present from me.

I LOVE my Daddy...
Before bedtime, Daddy read me a book. I love to have people read books to me and sing to me. Right now, I love "Jesus Loves Me" and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." And, I love all books!
When Daddy & Mommy got back from Niagara Falls, they brought me a present. So, here I am closing my eyes as I await my surprise... ...It was an Elmo doll! I loved it.

Niagara Falls and Fun

Living with my Opa & Oma has been so much fun. I am going to miss them so much when we move into our new home (hopefully within the next 6 weeks!)!

This is my new bunny, Gracie. I "made" her at my friend, Jake's, birthday party at Build-A-Bear. I like to take her with me around the house...I really like to change her diaper!

For my Daddy's big 3-0 birthday (which is tomorrow...happy birthday, Daddy...I love you!), my Mommy surprised him with a weekend trip to Niagara Falls. They left early this past Friday morning and got home on Sunday...right in time to watch the Panthers lose miserably! Daddy was SO surprised, and they had the most wonderful time together...

Niagara Falls was so beautiful...Daddy & Mommy loved it.

Niagara Falls

Here my parents are at the Falls...they are on a tour called "Journey Behind the Falls." They really got to go behind the falls...and beside it, which is where this picture is taken...they said it was beautiful.

This tour was called "Maid of the Mist," where Daddy & Mommy got to ride a boat out towards the Horseshoe Falls, get really wet, and get a great close-up of the amazing Niagara Falls. They got just a little wet, but they are very happy!! :)

Daddy & Mommy also walked around the Guinness Book of World Records Museum. Daddy is standing next to the tallest man in the world.
Here is the Skylon Tower. Daddy & Mommy ate dinner here one night. The restaurant revolved, so they were able to see all of the falls and the city. They said it was a beautiful view and very yummy food.

While there, Mommy surprised Daddy with a little "birthday" cake. He loved it...now that I can sing the "Happy Birthday" song, I wish I could have been there to sing to him...Mommy just doesn't sing it quite like me! But, I've been singing to Daddy (& Mommy, even though her birthday was a few weeks ago...) for quite some time now!

It was a wonderful 30th birthday surprise for my Daddy, and Daddy & Mommy had such an amazing time at Niagara Falls.
