Simming Time

We thought our daughter did not like the water. It turns out she does not like baths, but swimming (or simming if you are only 7-8 months old) is another thing all together.

Kathy got her into the water and then we took a smiling, splashing, happy little girl around the pool.

Splashing away.

I'm a big girl, look at me climb up the side of the pool.

That was fun Aunt Kathy, but I'm a little cold now.
See, I'm all wrinkly too!

Aunt Kathy and the Ponies

My sister Kathy needs to volunteer at many many different animal farms for school. So she came up for a week of visiting and volunteering. While working at the Darden Welsh Pony Farm over in West Richland, she was able to give us a tour on one of her last days.

We are pretty sure that this is Hotline.

Breezy, a yearling. She is a bit skittish at first, but warms up to you after a few minutes.

Emmy and her Aunt Kathy! Such a happy baby.

Laura got along with everyone very easily. It is like she grew up on a farm or something. This is Laura and Flash. He is only a few months old.

Gayfield's New Best Friend, or Friendly. She is Flash's Mommy.

This is Laura, Emmy's Mommy.

Hiking through the pasture to see more ponies, dogs, ducks, geese, ... Well to see more animals.

Pure puppy love. Annie and Emmy got along at first sight, more BFFs. Emmy just wanted to hold Annie, and Annie just wanted to be loved.

Tess likes to play with her ball. We are told that if you let her you will be throwing it for hours. Bella does not like the leash.

A pretty Aubby puppy, well not so puppyish, but ...
