This is at Baby Animal Day in Wellsville. We went to celebrate my niece Lexi's birthday and had lots of fun. In addition to holding this bunny, Mallory got to hold a baby duck and turtle, ride a horse and pet a bunch of other things. My brother wondered how many animals actually survive baby animal day with all the mauling they get from the kids! Seeing Mallory hold the animals reminded me of an incident that happened last summer. I was weeding in the back yard and out of the corner of my eye I saw Mallory reach down and pick up something out of the grass as she said "snake". I thought she had just picked up a stick until I saw that what she was holding was moving. I screamed and she dropped the snake. I felt bad after for scaring her and tried to reassure her that snakes are not scary but mommy just doesn't like them.
Mallory got a 2-wheel bike which she loves! Her favorite thing is riding to the park with her dad. I'm really glad they can share this hobby because I have never done well at riding a bike and it still makes me nervous. Kelly had never seen me ride a bike until a few weeks ago I finally agreed to try riding my old Huffy. I did it at night because I didn't want the neighbors to see and I stayed on the sidewalk because I'm afraid of getting hit by a car. I just went to the neighbor's driveway and back, but the bike was really wobbly the whole time. I asked Kelly why this was, and laughing, he said it was because I was going so slow. You know that old saying "It's like riding a bike", that really doesn't apply for me.
Whew, that took forever! I was going to add some more pictures but just don't have the time. I'll try and make sure it's not another two months until my next post.
