I wanted to grow some corn in the garden this year, so Mommy made some space for me.

Look like they’re coming along – they’re taller than me!

The Penguins went on a field trip to Safari West!  It was fun and exciting to see all of the strange animals, like these lemurs.

My favorite was the flamingos.  They have a very pretty color.

They had lots of monkeys of all different kinds.

For the second part of the trip, we rode on a bus with no sides out to where the giraffes and rhinos were!  There were also addax, bongos, kudu, and a red river hog.

The giraffes were very tall – and friendly.  They came right up to visit with us and say hello!

Big brother Ben was nice enough to pass along his ‘gator towel for me to use.

It keeps me nice and warm after bath time!

This week I graduated from the Penguin class.  We had all the Mommies and Daddies come watch us sing some songs we’d been practicing.

At the end, they called each of our names, and we each got a bag with a “diploma” in it.  Then there were snacks outside!

Some days at school are sharing days. The other day I shared my rescue helicopter with my Penguin friends.

While Grandpa Stark was visiting, we went out to the races. He likes it when people come to watch him, and I like going out to see him.

I got to drive the racing chair in Grandpa’s race car trailer. It is very fast!

I get to walk around the pits all I want. I wear my ear covers because the race cars are loud!

M&D got me a new Lightning bike for my birthday!  I got it yesterday, and with lots of practice and some help from Daddy, I’m already riding it.  It’s not even my birthday yet!

This is so fun.  Yay!  I can’t wait to show Grandpa and Nana when they come.

Andrew likes to watch his animals – and even grab them! I like to help him with the grabbing, which he’s just learning. We have fun together!

I’d like to introduce my new pet giraffe, Alfie. Right now he’s sleeping in the swing. Shhhh!

Thanks Aunt Jo for sending me my new best friend!

Recently, I had a picnic with my friends. We play beanbags, soccer, and just ran around a lot.

We also took a break to cool down and watch some videos…
