Today we joined friends of ours to visit the Lazy-5 Ranch, which currently has two newborn giraffes.

When we got there, Mary (2) and Matthew (one month shy of 2) ran pell-mell after a little bird.

The bird ran until it reached this planter box, sat down in her spot, and fluffed up very big in self-defense.

The toddlers turned on their heels and ran back to us in fear! It was quite funny.

We decided for the first time to ride the wagon through the safari instead of driving our car through. I think the kids really enjoyed it, even if it did make us mothers a bit nervous.
I completely forgot about Matthew breaking into tears over the bird puffing up. Thanks for that laugh! We had *so* much fun! How wonderful to see all of you too!
