Water (at the Fire Station on base)
Co-Pilot in the big red truck.

Another busy week for me! I got to go to the fire station this week with my daycare and see Sparky (the dog). Daddy was off so he got to come with and took some pictures to share with you all. I like the fire trucks.... I LOVED that it was on the flight line and there were planes close by :)
First sight of the planes....
"Hi Airplanes"
(notice everyone else in the truck behind me :)

Sparky the dog was there to tell us all high. We were pretty excited and took the opportunity to practice our toddler jumping skills.



Saturday was the first of many 100+ degree days. It was also a very eventful and exciting day. Mommy and Daddy took me to IHOP where I enjoyed lots of eggs, sausage, and pancakes. Mmmmm. Then we all went to the zoo. Yes, this is our new favorite place. I get so excited about the animals and our season pass has been coming in real handy - Thanks Grandma! This time was extra special. I got crackers for the first time ever, special zoo crackers you can feed to some of the animals.
There is a park nearby (across a big pond/lake) and we got to go there to play after we were done with the animals.
**Mommy note: There were a bunch of big and crazy Carp swimming to a bridge as people were feeding them. They would follow people as they walked along the railing - weird. As people would drop stuff in the water, there would be a frenzy of crazy fish trying to eat it. Never seen anything like it... Gross. So of course I had to get a pictures :)
On the way back to the car Mommy heard some music, and before I knew it, I was enjoying my very first Popsicle.
Whew, all this and we were home and napping by noon. Perfect day if you ask me!

Lately, I have been spending a lot of time outside in my swimming pool. But Daddy has taught me a new idea that is a must whenever the sidewalk chalk comes out...
*Daddy update: He got an injection of steroids this week. He is still pretty sore and is not so sure it is gonna help at all/ hasn't yet. Well, we are hoping for the best with his new medication and that he is able to have some pain relief for a few months.

Finally, I save my best video for last. I got to feed the Giraffes at the zoo! They have the coolest tongues and I couldn't get enough! Until next week. xoxo
