The OC Fair

Little Miss Z had a ball at her first visit to the OC Fair! As you can see she looooves Rollercoasters! That smile says it all! She also enjoyed the pony ride and her favorite Clydesdale horse named "Sammy," not to mention the deep fried brownies! It was a great day at the fair!!!

My first pet!!!

OK, so not exactly what one would expect....Introducing "Cowie!" Zaela has a pet cow (balloon that is!) She loves it and takes it everywhere she goes! LOL! Mom even had to chase it down the street yesterday when the the string leash broke...quite the sight as I am chasing a cow balloon down the middle of the street with Zaela screaming,,, but "We saved Cowie!" It was a Wonderpets episode right here on our own block!

Zaela also wrote her name for the first time on her etch-a-sketch! Here are a few photos to catch you up!
