Dallas Zoo Adventures

McKayla and her best buddy Ethan (who she calls "Ethie") have enrolled in several of the Dallas Zoo Classes. The first week was at the Aquarium where they got to see all sorts of fish and touch the Stingrays. The second week was the Owls - which was a very neat animal to learn about and after class we enjoyed the Petting Zoo, her first pony ride and finished off at the Carousel (of course she chose the horse on it). We are looking forward to our next class in a few weeks - which is about Rhinos.
















Snow Days in Dallas - February 2011



McKayla loved the snow days which meant "No School"! We were off 4 days one week and then got one bonus day the next :) We spent lots of time getting bundled up and playing in the snow. She enjoyed sledding down the hills on a cookie sheet - priceless! Needless to say we also spent lots of time doing "Art" at the kitchen table and snuggling and watching movies.




McKayla's 2nd Adventure in Vegas - Jan. 2011


McKayla loved the bright lights and the constant activity in Vegas. She enjoyed our daily walks and rides on the train. We visited the M&M store, got a front row seat at MGM to watch the Lions eat their breakfast and even got her picture made with a Lion cub (to be posted later - Mommy still needs to scan).
