Oaxie Swimming?






Look who decided to finally start swimming all on her own! We went swimming at Kevin and Kacy's house last night and as soon as we put Oaxie's floaties on she was ready to get in. This is not her usual. She normally sits on the steps for a while and then gets out and plays around the pool the rest of the time. She was practically jumping out of my arms to get in the water. As soon as we got in she wanted me to let go and the pictures show the rest. She was very brave yesterday. However, once she figured out the swimming thing she got out and ran around in the sprinkles (what she and Bin call the sprinkler) and wanted to be chased by Kevin the rest of the time. Daddy and Kevin shot their bows at Bambi (deer target). I was worried Bin and Oaxie would have a problem with it but they did not. They were very interested in it though. Oaxie tormented poor little Lincoln, Kacy's little dog. He was so ready to see us leave.

Fossil Rim Wildlife Center













Look at that tongue!!!

We went to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose this weekend. I think we chose the hottest day of the year to go, 107! Thankfully, we were in the car most of the time. We saw lots of animals that we have only seen in books and that was very exciting. You purchase a bag of food before the drive starts so you can throw feed out a long the road for all the animals. You are not supposed to feed any of them by hand, except for the giraffes. However, you know Daddy, not a very good rule follower. So, with his help we fed them and they were all very gentle. The drive lasted about 3 hours. Half way through, we stopped to eat and take a nature walk and see more animals. We were going to go the Dinosaur Park as well, but by the end of the afternoon we were all too tired for that. We will go back for that another time, hopefully when it cools off a bit.
