Ready to help with the yard work! A wheelbarrow just my size.
Even after a hard day of work on the Buffalo Ranch, Grandpa still has energy to help me ride the tricycle.
Grandma showed me how to push the button to start Grandpa's work 'car'... I couldn't get enough. I love how pushing buttons makes things 'GO' ... like the remote for the TV and the keyboard on a computer... and big things that we can ride!
We got to go out and take a close up look at the Buffalo. They are huge! While we were out in the field, we found this mother's day balloon. We found two balloons while we were visiting and Grandpa found one the day before we arrived. Grandma joked that they never have to buy balloons to celebrate any national holiday because if they wait long enough, they will find one in the field. Seems this is where lost balloons come for vacation too.
Life is easy for the littlest one on the Ranch, but it would be a little easier if my legs were just a bit longer so I could peddle this trike myself. I had fun visiting everyone in Kansas.
The bear exhibit is one of the best exhibits at the Seattle zoo. We are standing at the viewing window where the bears like to put on shows by swimming and catching fish. It's amazing to watch these big bears up close and personal. 
The penguin exhibit is new this year. Like the bear exhibit we were able to watch penguins swimming behind a series of glass walls. By the time we got to this exhibit, I was pretty tired and ready for lunch so I didn't really pay much attention to what was going on. 
It's the Zoomazium! After lunch we stopped by an indoor interactive learning/play center where all of the exhibits are nature-themed and appropriate for kids under the age of 8. Behind me in this picture is a foam dinosaur egg that you can build up around yourself and then break out like a baby dinosaur. I sat in it for a bit while mommy and daddy tried to figure out how the egg pieces go together. I got bored waiting for them to figure it out so I went on to the next thing. I'm playing with a zebra puzzle board here, but my favorite part was the gate that opens into the small kid area. It wasn't anything special. I just liked opening and closing it. 
Our last stop on the way out of the zoo was the family farm exhibit where they have a petting zoo. There were almost as many volunteers inside petting zoo as there were goats. When we walked into the pen all of the volunteers all had their camera phones out taking pictures of the goat who was kissing the miniature donkey. I enjoyed this exhibit because the big goats didn't run away from me when I squealed with glee to touch them. I thought maybe it would be a good idea to ride one, but mommy stopped me before I could kick my leg up and over it's back. BUMMER!
