Bark in the Park

Every year St. Louis has Bark in the Park. Owners can bring their pets (mostly dogs) to Forest Park. This is actually the first year we have gone and we didn't even take the dogs. There are just so many people and even more dogs to have to deal with. Gershwin and Lexi spent a relaxing morning at home;)
There were activities for kids including the BIG slide. I decided to take Elyse down the slide. When we got to the top I couldn't believe how BIG it really was. She seemed to enjoy the ride.
She also got to see animals and pet a pony! I think she liked it.

Sitting Pretty!

Mother's Day!

Wow! My first Mother's Day! Nate ( and Ellie) went all out for me. We went to brunch and they got me a massage! Nice and relaxing;) Nate wanted to go to the park and take pictures but it ended up being a cool rainy day. We still enjoyed ourselves though.

Grants Farm

Saturday before Mother's Day we went to Grant's Farm with our neighbors. Elyse loves their daughter Stella, who is 3.
You take a tram through the park where they have animals from around the world including deer, buffalo and cows. Grant's home was moved into the park. Today they had a stop there, which they usually don't. We got to see they house and Elyse posed as one of Grant's soldiers.

In the park Elyse was checking out the animals. She enjoyed feeding the camel and laughed when it ate out of her hand, and almost ate her hand!

She Enjoyed the clydesdale babies too...

We had a great day and can't wait to go back!

Cuddling doggies

Gershwin and Lexi get along well. Here is Lexi with her arm over Gersh on the couch! Funny...

Day at the park

We spent a wonderful afternoon in the park on Sunday. Elyse enjoyed the grass and all the other people, she is really social.

Swinging fun

With the weather starting to get nicer we have been able to be outside more. Elyse had fun at the park the other day. She also had her first real push on the swing, she laughed so hard!
