Baby Animal Days & More...

This past Saturday we met up with a couple of families from church to attend the American West Heritage Center's Baby Animal Days festival. We ended up purchasing a membership so that we can attend many other activities/events for free!
First stop the pony rides - all of the kids got to ride at the same time!

Elizabeth & Mommy waiting for Madilynn to ride the pony
This year they had baby bears from Yellowstone - here's Madilynn showing off her bear mask!
We tried putting the mask on Elizabeth and she just grabbed it (imagine that)!
There were just 3 baby bears and they were all being held and fed while we went through
Then to see the bunnies - Madilynn even got to hold one! I thought it was neat they had it set up where the kids could sit down and hold them.

We stopped for lunch and I put Elizabeth down on her blanket so she could move around a little and all she wanted to do was pull the grass! (She had her pacifier in, so none was eaten!)
We had a great time, but we were done shortly after lunch as it was nap-time. Elizabeth fell asleep and could've slept in the stroller, but Madilynn was really needing her nap, so we didn't get around to seeing all the baby animals...No worries, we are planning to go back this Saturday to see them without all of the festival stuff going on, so hopefully it won't be as busy - more pics to come!
Sunday morning before church, Elizabeth wearing Madilynn pink polo dress and I just think it's adorable. I was afraid it wouldn't fit her by the time it was warm enough to wear it, but it really started warming up on Sunday!
Quick pic before she fell (sat) down!
and just because I love all of the expressions...and those big blue eyes!
Sunday afternoon after nap we headed out to meet some new friends for play and dinner. I put these little baby legs on her for the first time, and they were super cute, especially with the dress! Perfect!
Skip to today! Well Daddy works late on Wednesday nights, so he came home for lunch today. It is a beautiful day and so sunny, it's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow high is 70 and sunny -yea!! So we went outside to enjoy for a little while...
Madilynn running around in the yard - working off some energy!
Swinging on the ropes!
I just realized I hadn't taken any pictures of her swinging on this rope in the backyard, but she likes it and is really good at holding herself up!
