Horses, Dogs and Ducks

Horses: This was way back in September of 2010 and though I may have posted about this already, I don’t remember (so sorry if it’s a repost). Anyway, we went to Alamo to go camping and ended up staying in a tent at our friends…We really lucked out…the fun of camping, plus the luxury of electricity and toilets CLOSE by…and an added bonus…horses! This was so much fun, Annaka was so small…only 13 months, I can’t believe how fast she has grown-up! She is now 17 months old and I look at her on the horse and have a hard time thinking she was that small such a short time ago…now she thinks she is such a big girl J.
It took Annaka a bit to warm-up to the horses, but that’s normal for her, totally her personality to observe first, then cautiously go about doing…Let me tell you, as a parent, that has been a wonderful quality for a child to have…

Such a beautiful and calm horse

Dogs: We went to our friends house the beginning of this week and she has a dog that is usually in another room when Annaka is over…but this time a little boy let him out and I told Natalie (my friend) to just keep him out, it would be good for Annaka…She has been around dogs before…our friend Becky has three SUPER cute little ones that we love to go visit (we need to more) and they lick Annaka’s face and she smiles. With Natalie’s dog, Rocky, she would smile and point at him, but once she found out that he would eat the cheerios she dropped on the ground, she was in love. She took all her cheerios one by one and set them on the ground for Rocky to eat, she thought it was great fun (It made me wish Kramer was around still, that’s what he would have done). Since then, every time she sees a dog she makes a point to tell me…This is at Sunset park...Annaka is trying to follow the dog.Her new favorite book, "Im Going on a Bear Hunt" she finds the dog on every page.

Ducks: We went to feed the ducks at Sunset park, our first time, and it was great fun! I CAN’T wait to go again, with Kirby this time.
This lady brought 3 bags full of bird seed and fed it to the ducts...they went crAzy! At first Annaka ate the bread herself



When she realized the ducts would eat it, she couldn't get enough of it.
