Ride 'em Cowgirl!

Gloria has her own pony! It's white with big, beautiful black eyes. Sure, it's plastic and it lives in Grammy's house, but don't tell Gloria that! She rode on it for the first time before we went to Deer Forest on August 19. She seemed to enjoy the fact that no one had to hold on to her since there is a plastic ring around the seat. So, she practiced at Grammy's house and then rode a real pony at the park.

"I love my pony!"

"Her name is Snowflake."

"Now if I can only convince Grandpa to build me a pony ride by the pond..."

I'm a little late (almost a month) in posting about our trip to the zoo on August 9 with Grandpa Dave and Grandma Vicki. We had a yummy picnic in the park beforehand and then spent the afternoon exploring the zoo.

"Cheese!"

Grandpa gave Gloria a wild animal to play with - a squirrel. Don't worry it doesn't bite :) Gloria took to it right away, and now it's a staple in our toy rotation at home.

"Just me and my Grandpa."
