North Shore Adventure

Laura is really enjoying her North Shore adventure this year. She spends time throwing rocks into 'Big Lake' and playing by the water. She went on her first real hike in the woods this morning and she also rode a gondola up the mountain, which she really liked.

Laura 'Hiking'

Come on ride the train!

Laura enjoyed her first amusement park ride yesterday: a train ride. She was so excited, she talked about it all the way home. Toot toot!

Driving her car

Laura is in a phase right now where she loves her car.

Come on daddy, get my car!


Time for a haircut Laura!


Driving is Fun!


Time for some off-roading.

Paleontology and Water Fun

Laura went to the zoo today with mommy & daddy. She had a great time. She spent some time exploring the Paleontology exhibit (a sandbox) and playing in the fountains.

Laura the paleontologist.


Wow, that's a big leg bone!


That is a big head!


They're from the woolly mammoth.


The woolly mammoth went extinct during the end of the Pleistocene.


Near the sandbox, there are fountains that are a great place to cool off.


Ahh, nice cool water.


She got to see some bears, and the fish tank that serves as the bear's lunchbox.

Wow, that's a lot of fish, the bears are going to have a big lunch!


Earlier this week, Laura went to the pool with her cousins to work on her swimming skills. She had a ton of fun.
