Lets Check Out the Water

We are on the deck checking out the water. 

Seeing Elk!

This was the first time we saw Elk.  The Elk are not caged. They are free to walk around and munch on trees all day. 

 Sand and this guy had it out... I lost!

Kayla See Elk

During our trip Kayla had discovered that she could scream when she was excited.  It could be water, a dog, elk.  Anything really that she was excited about.

Dog Food

Just like any 21 month old Kayla likes to mimic my words and movements.  The dogs make out because after I feed them Kayla tries to feed them again.... This time the food was a bit to far down in the container for Kayla to be successful.  

NEW TOMS!!!!!

Kayla's Size 4 TOMS... Bling!

All Set and Ready to Grow

Kayla is now all set up with her Activity table.  We are enjoying the new space!

During Assembly and after Kayla lost out on the slide piece she became my helper.

New Activity Table

Kayla is ready for her first activity table.  I have been searching and searching for the perfect one!  Bigger then the average but not so huge it takes over her play space.  Now Kayla can color, play with play doh and stack blocks!  

However, Kayla discovered her own use for the table.  As I assembled the table Kayla discovered that she could use it as a slide.... And that she did... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.  I went a little crazy with the camera and let it take picture after picture.  :0)
