Nana, Clayre, & I had an awesome time at Fossil Rim in Glenn Rose, TX.  It is a drive through safari and you buy a bag of food pellets and get to feed the animals.  The giraffes will eat right out of your hand.  It was so awesome.  The animals were beautiful and like to visit the people in the cars.  Clayre got a “baby” giraffe at the gift shop and is in love with her.  She calls her “Bella” and rides on her, dances with her, and loves to give her kisses and food pellets. 

These are pictures of Clayre with Ms. Suzanne, her wonderful Kindermusik teacher.  There is also a video of class which will be posted later.  These pictures show Clayre and Ms. Suzanne before class starts, awaiting all of our friends, singing “Hello,” and quiet time (today she was rocking her baby lamb to sleep for a nap).

Clayre is right now in Water Baby 3…and has already been promoted to Water Tots.  Miss Kathryn has been her teacher for more than a year now, and she is a great swimmer.  She can swim underwater for 10 to 12 seconds.  Now, Miss Kathryn is working the mommies out of the pool and the kiddos are starting to learn to wait their turn and swim without their mommies holding them.  Ken being home this week was awesome, not only did we get to spend more time with him, but he got to see all of Clayre’s awesome activities.  There will be videos posted later.

We went to downtown Fort Worth for the fireworks show outside of the Cats Stadium.  We waited until 9:45 for the fireworks to start, entertaining Clayre with our iPhones…and she loved the fireworks for about 5 minutes.  And then she got scared and we had to leave, which ended up being a blessing because we missed all of the traffic.  We probably would have been home a hour later if we had stayed for the entire show.

Clayre loved going to the Rangers game, although it rained so much we had to leave before it started.  She kept saying “Go Rangers” and “Yeah Baseball.”  She had so much fun jumping in puddles and cheering for the Rangers, and then she said, “Bye-Bye Baseball” and we went home.
