The Zoo

While we were in Texas we went to the zoo.  It is a small zoo, only 1 mile around to see all the animals, a perfect size.  Sage loved seeing all the animals and her favorite were the giraffes.  After the zoo we went on a train ride.  She crashed as soon as we got home to the ranch.  A busy morning and a very tired girl!

 Checking out the giraffes!

 She loved this giraffe - she had to go back there a bunch of times and look out.

 So excited for the train ride- she was yelling Choo, Choo and jumping up and down!

Dress-Up

There is a big container of dress-up clothes at the Ranch and Sage had lots of fun trying it all on.  Her favorite thing to try on were heels.  When she first put them on she was teetering all over the place.  After a little while she got more comfortable in the heels and was wondering all over the house.

Singing with Mimi

Sage had lots of fun playing the piano with Mimi.  She also had fun with the karaoke machine - she loved the microphone.  Here she is singing Row, Row, Row your Boat!

The Pool!

We all love the pool at the ranch and are very thankful for it on a hot summer day.  These pictures were taken during a morning swim.  Sage wasn't happy and didn't really want to swim.  She was content to sit on the edge and kick and splash with Finn.  Sloan was swimming all over the pool with Russ and Reese.  What a fun morning!

 I love this picture of Finn!  He is such a sweet boy and this picture captures his fun personality!

Sage and Finn sat on the side of the pool and just kicked and splashed away!  Look closely and you can see the grins on both their faces!

Popsicles

Nothing better on a hot summer day then a popsicle!

Tractors and Gators!

The kids had lots of fun driving around the ranch on the John Deere Gator and Tractor.  Finn and Sloan are very good drivers, Sage is better as a passenger!

Our Little Cowgirl!

We made it to Texas and are having a great time with Mimi, Pop-Pop, Uncle Russ, Sloan and Finn.  Here is Sage trying on Sloan's new cowboy hat!

The Beach

While we were at my parents we took Sage to the beach.  This was her first time playing at the beach.  At first she wasn't to sure.  The sand was not her favorite, but she did get used to it and loved playing in the sand.  She was a bit scared of the water.  She let me dip her toes in and she didn't like it because it was cold.  She eventually got a little closer to the water and we even went for a few walks along the waters edge.

 Having somefun in he sand, we built lots of sandcastles that day.

 No way was she going in the water - way to cold!

Still not so sure about the water!

New Friends

Here is a picture of Haleigh, Sage, and Grace at dinner on Wednesday night.  These two girls have passed down a ton of clothes to Sage and it was fun to see them together.  They were all so good at dinner and had lots of fun!
