The longest Post Ever

I haven't posted anything in a while, and we've been pretty busy...so here are pictures and the stories to go with them.

While Andy is out of town, I am lucky to have visitors to help and keep me company.  My parents were the first - and we did a TON in a small amount of time. 

First - we built a "Story Box" for Amelia.  It is from one of her favorite TV shows called Pinky Dinky Doo - and she loves it!

Then we visited the Edmond Historical Museum.  They have a children's area with dress up, a tee pee, a little town store, and a fun little garden (that picture is on my mom's camera).  This one is of our smiley guy watching Amelia pick vegetables in the garden :)

We went to eat at Pop's (it's a cute restaurant on Route 66) and we were trying to teach Amelia to point with her pointer finger, but, alas, she still just flips everyone off! HA!

We have these great ponds just a few houses down, and we all went fishing the last night they were here.  Doc figured out that the fish love cheese and they were just reeling them in!  Here is Amelia's first catch - a huge Bass!

And of course, before they were allowed to leave, Amelia had to build a tent with Honey.  Those are the "windows" for the tent and Amelia's silly little face!

Notice that she's wearing dresses now :)  Soooo cute!!  Thanks, Honey.

Always smiling for the camera!  He's going after a Cheerio under the couch - ha!

We've also been making some fun new friends.  One of our library friends invited us to the zoo today!  When I told Amelia we were going - she went right to the crayon box and started drawing.  She made a MAP of the zoo so that we would know where to go.  She carried it the ENTIRE time - it was priceless!

She would have stayed in the otter exhibit all day if I let her.  (Notice the map in her hands).

Tried to get a mother/daughter picture, but Amelia wasn't having any of it!  Good thing our little friend Makenna was all smiles :)

Studying the map to see where we should go after the gorillas!

Hi Buddy!  He was so good all morning :)  Such a trooper.  He liked the gorillas the best.

She made sure to pet every single goat in the petting zoo!  All while holding onto her map!  It was totally crumbled by the end of the day - but it sure was a big help :)

We will definitely go back to the zoo soon - it's only 10 minutes away! 

Next up - Daddy comes home for the weekend - then Aunt Kelsey comes the next :)
