A weekend ago...

The weather was beautiful the weekend before last, so we decided to hit up all the animal hot spots.
On Saturday morning we went to the zoo, where Maya loved checking out the farm animals, the elephants and the gorillas (there's a baby gorilla after all, and Maya is obsessed with babies of all kinds)...





That afternoon we took a walk to the neighborhood playground and it was amazing to watch Maya--she's grown up so much since last fall..she can climb the chain ladder and hold her own with all the big kids...







On Sunday we hit up Frying Pan Park which has a working farm and an equestrian facility...











Luckily for us the farm was also hosting a horse show that day.



Maya loved watching all the horses and riders warming up and a few nice riders let Maya pet their horses. Maya loved it so much that we went to have lunch and came back to watch some of the riders compete and then go watch more horses warming up. We bumped into a nice man who was walking his daughter's horse. She had already competed and the pony, Cowboy, was relaxing. Maya had a great time petting Cowboy and at some point the dad offered to let Maya sit on the pony. And she did and she enjoyed it. And my camera? It was in the car..But I swear it happened.
