Fuzzy Carnivore Lake, We Had Fun For a Week

The three of us took our annual summer vacation to a little place called Bear Lake. We had a lot of fun and saw a lot of interesting things (people in swimsuits who should not be in swimsuits).

We had a shake almost every night. Of course, I was the only one who gained like 14 pounds because of it. (Totally and completely worth it).

Clearly, the spoon was not working fast enough.

Could we be having any more fun...

Don't let this happy face fool you, Shelby really didn't like being yanked around via McKenzie's torture device.

Be content, there were over 60?! pictures of birds on the memory card. Apparently the state bird is one of our favorite things to photograph.

Dear Diary,

It's Me, McKenzie. I wanted to tell you all about my busy and long weekend. Grandma and Papa Harvey came for a visit and we went back to the zoo. I love the zoo. I really do. Here are some pictures of us at breakfast...

Why do they charge $2.00/person for a train ride that last ONE minute?
I'm so spoiled.

Mommy finally got a picture of the baby giraffe! Who knew it was so hard to get a close up shot of an animal that is completely lethargic and who is so small to begin with. You have to be a genius.

I rode the carousel 4 times.

Then It Was My Birthday!

My Birthday was last Tuesday. I had an Abby Cadabby party!! It was fun- family and friends were there. Here are some highlights from that day:

This is the lady that tends me while my parents are at work. Yes, I think so too.

Some of my friends came, also some people I didn't know.

Let's get the woman who invented birthday cake a medal, please.

People love Shelby, they do.

So, opening presents: THE BEST THING EVER!!! Why can't I do that everyday? I'm being completely serious when I say- I could open presents every moment I'm awake and have not stopped talking about presents since my Birthday Party. Really.

Overall, it was a pretty fun birthday and I'm just glad I wasn't caught with frosting or something even more embarrassing all over my face. WHEW!!

Love always,
McKenzie.

Happy Birthday Jessica!
