Beautiful grounds to run around

Horses to pet and say "hi" to. No riding on this trip.

Elizabeth and Dad spent some quality time on the lake

Showing Bessin how it's done

Having fun with a friend her age - we finally met a kid as talkative as ours. They had a blast!

The petting zoo was definitely the highlight for Elizabeth. She loved this little black guinea pig

a lot!

The ducks were nice, too. And the little horses, camel-cows, pigs and chickens.

Our very own troll bridge that led to our room

Elizabeth's new room

When we moved to San Diego, Elizabeth got a big girl bed. She and Daddy picked out the bedding and decorated the wall

She loves it!

Happy 4th of July!
