Bob and Mary surprised Acadia with her first bike. To say she liked it is a bit of an understatement. All she wanted to do was ride it. When it rained we even brought it into the basement to keep her busy.
We also hit up Jim Peck's Wild Wood park. It's a cross between a petting zoo and a regular zoo. There's bears, lions, and tigers that you can't pet. Almost everything else is out roaming. I think Acadia pet everything she could and surprised us all when she did. From deer to goats to a pot bellied pig, she touched it. She even went into this bird house and fed the birds and let them sit on her (sorry Dana). For the girl who has been scared of little dogs, this was amazing.
Rylan was there too, but he stayed in the backpack most of the time. He liked the animals and even pet the deer. His excitement turned to tears though when the deer went from licking his fingers to biting them!
Bob was excited to take Acadia on the train...
And Acadia loved spending time with her grandparents...
Poor Rylan though had a rough go on this trip. He seemed to have a reaction to one of his vaccines that he got about a week before we left. The second day of our trip he broke out in a terrible rash and had about a 105 degree fever. Basically he had the measles.
He did a lot of hanging out indoors, without much clothes to keep him cooler.
But once he started feeling better he made up for what he missed!
Thanks Mary and Bob for a great trip! Can't wait for the next one!

Can't believe how big those kids are! What a gorgeous place. Too bad poor Rylan was sick. :(
