sunriver 2008

feeding the llama
brushing away the tickles he gave her hand
petting the pretty white horses
getting up close
walking the baby llama

playing mama-baby-alligator chase
ready to go in yet? contemplating the big pool in her big girl life vest
let's just stay in the little pool daddy, i don't need my life vest here
in fact, i don't need to wear any clothes at all!!!

coming atcha
her favorite place to snooze
splishy splashy little fish
let me drive!

this jumping face just cracks me up
my little mermaids
pulling up on the chair right before her hand slipped and she took a big digger into the chair and freaked out

fountains with daddy

chewing on apple soothes those swollen but not yet pierced through by teeth gums
bed head in the morning, my girl loves her some bacon!
bedhead from the side
this is Zielinski half of her genes
drumstick in the sun

We had such a great time in sunriver again this year....Jason says we are not going to go back because when we go on vacation our youngest learns how to pull herself up to standing and how to really crawl fluently and our oldest said her first fourteen word sentence. What would next year bring? Hopefully more wonderful memories of hiking, biking, swimming and lounging around (well, as much lounging as parents of small children can....). Truly, the BEST part of our trip was a visit to a llama farm. Typically they don't to tours but when I called and asked if we could come, the owner agreed and it went beyond well! Maddy loved the llamas and she was able to pet them, feed them, walk them and learn all about them. Her favorites were the female llamas (this was sooooo cute to hear her say: "Oh dat guy is a mama llama" when the owner pointed out a pregnant one to Maddy).
