Four shots and a finger stick deserves some ice cream, don’t you agree?

We managed to squeeze in a little fun time in between errands and chores this weekend. The church were Mirabella goes to preschool had a Spring Fair today.

We only stayed for a short time, but she managed to play games, make crafts, get her face painted and have a cupcake. Add beautiful weather and we had all the ingredients for a fun spring morning.

I love to visit the bison at Pioneers Park, but my daughter isn’t a big fan. It’s tough trying to convince her to do a little drive by hello. (I know I’m the one driving, but without her buy in, the way home gets kind of whiny.)

I’ve discovered that sometimes I just need to try a couple of different approaches until I get the answer I want.

Let’s drive by and visit the bison before we go home.

I don’t want to.

Why don’t you like visiting the bison?

I don’t know.

Do you like visiting the elk?

Sometimes, but I already saw them today.

Were they having lunch?

No.

I bet they are having lunch now. It’s almost Noon. Want to check?

YES!

I’m not sure what the elk are doing. The one on the left could be having lunch, don’t you think?

“Look Mama! A gaggle of geese!”

Last, but not least, the bison.

My favorite part of Bella’s visit with Santa this year:

santa: Did you write this list by yourself?
bella: Yes. I wrote it at home while watching a Santana dvd. Santana is a guitar player.
santa: Yes, I know that. You know what? He told me what he wants for Christmas, too.
