Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

I have been pretty sad lately.  I never got to St. Patrick's Day Story and I have been cooped up in this house all winter!  A girl has needs I have to get out of here!

 

I learned about doors recently and I was searching for a door that would lead to the great unknown, OUTSIDE!

 

See I have been in here for so long I have gotten Cabin Fever and I began to go a little CRAZY! Alright maybe a lot crazy!

 

But then I had a great idea! I could ask my Mommy if I could go outside and I always get my way!

 

The very next day I went to our back door!

 

I saw my Daddy working very hard! I asked Mommy if he might need some help!

 

And my master plan worked I made it outside, but then Daddy put me to work! I didn't care because it felt wonderful to be out of the house!

 

As it turned out I was pretty good at mowing the lawn! SO me and Daddy finished the job!

 

I didn't want to go inside so I found more chores to do outside! I found some plants in desperate need of watering! So I did that as well!

 

After doing all of the yard work, I wanted to have some fun so I grabbed my gear and went searching for bugs!

 

I am still a little to slow to catch those little bugs, but I am getting faster everyday!  It didn't matter because I was still outside!

 

Daddy had talked about a game called golf, so I decided to give it a try!

 

I looked down the fairway, selected the right club, and found the green!  Grandpa I thought I would impress you by teeing off from the blue tee box!

 

I reached back and swung my club!

 

And away my ball went, as I watched it fly away I could only hope that it would be a good shot!

 

I can't believe it, my first game of golf and I almost got a hole in one!

 

I liked golf, I will just putt this one in and get on with the story!

 

I asked Daddy if there were any more outside activities we could do?  He told me that when I was older he would take me fishing at my Grandpa Harv's House!  But Daddy still gave me a lesson so that I would be ready!

 

We baited the hook and threw it in the water!

 

And before long I caught a whopper! I can't wait to try this out at Grandpa Harv's!

 

I wanted to go back outside, and Mommy planned a big day at the zoo.  I was scared I did not know what to expect, I did not know what a zoo was!

 

Mommy told me it had animals. ANIMALS lets go then what are we waiting for?

 

I got to looking at animals right away!

 

I saw elephants,

 

and rhinos,

 

and bears,

 

and geese,

 

and monkeys,

 

and Daddy went to this one place where we fed the birds!

 

I really liked the birds but my favorite part was....

 

The sea lions and.....

 

an aquarium that puts Daddy's to shame!

 

Well, I sure had fun doing all of these outside activities!

 

And just like this Carousel I will be back real soon! Because I turn 1 Year Old next week! Ta Ta for now, I LOVE YOU! Rian!
