Grandma and Grandpa Came for a Visit



Grandma and Grandpa came to see us this spring vacation. We were all excited to see them again, especially the girls. Yay! This is the girls and Grandma and Grandpa at the Nebraska Wildlife Safari.



Kaitlin and Carmen and Mommy by one of the Statues where you can get out of your car.


We asked Kaitlin what she liked best about the safari and she says the turtles. Of all the things you could say, she picks one of the most common things--it just figures!



Can you see the white bison? It is hiding, but it is there. We had a better picture of it but I accidentally deleted it. He, he. Don't tell Grandpa, it was his camera.


These are pronghorn antelope. The closest one is using the bush to get the fuzz off his antlers.


The male turkeys were displaying their feathers for the females. 'Tis spring!

I didn't know pelicans were indigenous to this area! (I don't think they are but feel free to correct me if anyone knows better).

Looks fun! GLad to see pictures. We have only been out there once and it was at Halloween and it was night so most of the animals were asleep.

Your such a good mommy!

Kaitlin and Archie came home with this surprise from the grocery store. Kaitlin REALLY wanted to give them to me. She is very sweet and thoughtful like that (and so is Archie to take her with him and let her do this). Tulips remind me of Seattle a lot. Every spring about two hours north of Seattle, there is a tulip festival we liked to see.
