All Natural

 
Landry is still really into baking. We watch Martha Stewart, Cake Boss and a YouTube channel called Nerdy Nummies. She combines her baking interest with her imagination. The results are her making all sorts of cookies and cakes.
 
 
Chocolate cookies.

 
A cake in the making. I'm sure she "dirty iced" it before adding the fondant.

She's explaining what she's doing.

 
 
Time to put it in the oven.

We tend to eat a good bit of vegetables. Brad and Landry decided it would be so cool if we grew our own veggies. They set up a little green house(now I'm sorry I didn't get pics), planted some seeds and waited patiently. Once the seeds were big enough for a new home they made a garden.
 
 
The beginning...

 

 
Little plants.


Landry had a lot of fun doing this.
 
Our garden has grown quite a bit. It was planted April 28. The pictures below were taken May 18.
 

 
 
 
It will be nice to have home grown veggies!


 


Dallas Zoo 2013

Several weekends ago, Sunday, April 7, to be exact, we were on our way downtown to a park. It's the park mentioned in an earlier post. Landry wanted to take Brad. Well, we saw a billboard advertising the zoo's 125 Birthday Celebration. Park or zoo? It was an easy decision. There was an overcast and it was cool so we were off to the zoo!
 
 
Reagan was more interested in the water behind us.



Due to it being the zoo's birthday there were some specials going on which meant free cupcakes!

 
 
Landry and Brad filling time while I fed Reagan.

 
What a big, friendly turtle.

 
Reagan, Mommy and a stilt-walking clown.

 
 
Another family picture! I get excited when we're all in the picture.

 
Daddy's girls.

 
Giddy up elephant!

 
 
Reagan is waiting for the real elephants to come out.


There they are!

 
We saw giraffes next. The weather was such that all of the animals were out and about.


The weather was also perfect for a catnap.


Landry enjoyed the monkeys.

Reagan wasn't sure.
 
 
 
Reagan liked the real monkeys.

 
 
They're coming right to us!

I wonder what was going through this monkey's mind as he looked right at Reagan.
 
 
He reached out to Landry.

 

Reagan thoroughly enjoyed her first trip to the zoo.
