No, she doesn't really know how to play, but she loves to line up all the numbers and show us how smart she is!
Have a safe trip home and come to visit again soon!!!!
Peanut butter - his favorite :-) 
Madeline helped Daddy taste it. 
After she knew it was ok she let daddy taste it too - sooo good!!! Later that night Grandma Sonja read Madeline a few bedtime stories. 
We hope Grandma Sonja can come visit often!
We also got to plant a few acorns - I hope we can get them to grow! 
Madeline loved looking at the real animals but also got a kick out of this bronze turtle :-)
After looking at the big fish in the aquarium
we took a quick walk through the conservatory to look at all of the pretty flowers. We found one that had fallen on to the ground - 
it was such a pretty purple. 
Madeline also liked the yellow flowers. 
They had a craft area, so Madeline painted her very own flower pot! We'll have to get some flowers to plant in it :-) 
To end our trip we looked at all of the colorful fish in the coy pond. 
What a great day!
Then Madeline entered a great play area 
where the sunflowers were huge and there were lots of fun toys to climb on. 
Next we went "underground", crawling through logs 
and giant ant tunnels. 
We even went sliding down a beaver dam. 
Next Madeline and Daddy did a little construction work
and then we played in the water. 
The water was definitely her favorite part. 
We had a great time :-)
She just loves to take everything out, line it up, and show us everything she found. Now we just have to teach her how to put it all away :-) I have a feeling she'll be a great help at the grocery store when she's a little older!
peek - I see you! 
climbing up the stairs, 
and the ladder, 
going down the slides, 
and swinging. 
I think we'll be spending a LOT of time at the park this summer :-)
and finally found him! 
Then we continued our walk to the farm. 
Madeline fed the goats, 
and pet their babies. 
She also got got to pet all sorts of other baby animals...
some little chicks, 
a duckling, 
and a bunny! 
After a good hand washing we were hungry! We don't do fast food very often, but boy does she like it when we do!!! 
We can't wait for our next trip to the zoo :-)
She was so excited about the new fun things to do and all of the new kids to play with that she barely even noticed that mommy was leaving. 
She had a great day, but was excited to see mom later that afternoon. We hope every day goes as good as this first one :-)
