Exploration Place
Daddy, Momma, and Shelby went to Exploration Place (me and Shelby's 3rd time; Andy's first) on May 24th. This was the first time Shelby really got into it because she was about 2 when we went last time, I think. She liked being inside the big bubble, exploring the cool castle, riding the wooden horse down the hill, the wooden train sets, and really loved playing in the water in the 3 and under area. She tried flying a paper airplane and laughed when it crashed (especially when Andy's did.. he he). Most of the exhibits were a bit over her head, but the Kansas exhibit was very neat! She got to see live tarantulas, a snake, prairie dogs, some different specimen bugs to look at under a microscope, and got inside the tornado machine. We can't wait to go back with our new membership!
Singletree Stables
On May 15th, Daddy and Shelby went to Singletree Stables for a birthday party. Well, there was a misunderstanding and the birthday party was not scheduled. (it was actually at Chucky Cheese that same time, but we weren't told the change of place. oops!) They hung around and checked out all of the horses in the barn, met quite a few (Shelby loved it, but I hear Andy was a little nervous letting her near the horses); then they played on the playground equipment out there and played hide-and-seek around some big trees. Andy said he actually enjoyed this more than going to the kids party at Chucky Cheese. :) I think I'd agree with him!
RiverFest Cajun Food Fest
We went to the Cajun Food Fest May 14th for the River Fest. Shelby was hesitant to try much, but ate plain rice (no red beans, although I snuck a few in) and bread. I don't think she was interested in trying the bread pudding. Oh well, maybe next year!
She rode her first amusement park ride with momma and daddy and loved it! She jumped in an inflatable thingy and also danced with Papa Craig. She also really enjoyed checking out the Police Horses who were on duty.
