The Easter Bunny Came Early to Susanville

Since Karlie and Buffy were going to be leaving before Easter, Grandma Barbie decided to celebrate early.

We colored Easter Eggs too!I don't need one of those plastic egg dippers - it's easier this way!Grandpa is checking on the progress!Even Uncle Mark joined in!Uncle Mark is just too cool!Look at my hands!All done!

Animal Farm

One day we took Buffy & Karlie to Tara's out in Janesville to see Alpacas. I had never seen one either - so I wasn't quite sure of what they were. Kind of like llamas but a lot smaller. If you make one mad, they will spit at you! Yuck!!!! Some people raise them for the wool and some pepole, like Tara, show them at the fair. FYI - Buffy's fingers are deep in the alpaca's wool!

Doesn't he just have the cutest face?!!

Then we had to check out the rest of the animals. There were goats and horses. Even a little horse just Karlie's size!Here is a vide of Karlie having a horseback ride!

Karlie got to pet a duck too!

Karlie, Future Baseball Star!

Grandpa bought a beginner T-Ball set and started Karlie on her career!

He gave Karlie a few pointers - we shall see what she does with that info! Here is a video of the little slugger!

The Circus Is Coming To Town!

As soon as I heard that Karlie and Buffy were coming - I just knew we had to go see the circus! The circus was in Reno and put on by the Shriner's. Uncle Mark went with us too!

Karlie was so excited that she was shaking - plus it was really cold inside!
There were trapeze artists, bears, elephants, toy poodles, balancing acts and tigers too!
On the intermission, the Shriner's were selling tickets for a ride on the elephant! Here is Grandpa and Karlie waiting in line for their turn.

We were really surprised that they put her on in front. We thought they would put her in the middle. Karlie kept saying later that she got to "drive the elephant and she touched his ear"! When the ride was all over and we were back in our seats, Karlie kept asking "Where are the elephants?"

Here's a video of the elephants!

Grandpa had to buy Karlie some souveniers - bought her a stuffed elephant on a leash, a light-up butterfly and a light-up necklace.

And when it was all over - Buffy and Karlie got their picture taken with a friendly clown!

A Trip to the Park

It was a good thing we went to the park because the nice weather didn't last! Karlie seemed to love playing on the slide with Grandma Barbie.

Or was Grandma Barbie having more fun on the slide?

Karlie then made friends with a girl her own age and Grandma was forgotten! Karlie followed this girl the rest of the time at the park. Watch the video and watch how she followed this little girl. You even see the little girl wait for Karlie to catch up!

A Swinging Time At Grandpa & Grandma's

Buffy and Karlie came for a visit this week. Karlie sure is growing! I love this stage - she is so much fun! She loves the park so much that Grandma Barbie had to buy Karlie her very own swing! She sure seemed to love it. She couldn't wait for Grandpa to adjust it for her.

Look at me - I'm flying!!! Here is video of Miss Karlie flying!


We had such a good time just lying around and enjoying the nice spring - like weather! Too bad it didn't last!

Look how much Karlie has grown since last year!
