More from Stella's 2nd

About the middle of April I had a dental cleaning in La Crosse and we stopped by the free zoo, but they were undergoing some major renovations. There was just this small exhibit inside. Stella had fun looking at the fresh water turtles.

Here are some more pictures of her on her 2nd Birthday.

On our walk...she does really well on this mile walk...half of which is nearly all uphill! Our friend Tony (who will be leasing the house at the end of the month) is in the background helping his Dad to chop firewood.

Determined little walker...

Fun Kyle...Reeve with his camera...and Stella and Papa.

Here come the cows.

They got right up to the fence.

One little goat which Stella calls a "kitty cow". We're thinking her reasoning is that a kitty cat (kitten) is a small cat, so this goat must be a small cow or "kitty cow." She won't say goat.

I was getting nervous that the cows might stampede us. Just a little too close for my comfort :)

Reeve taking a video with his camera.

Countdown is on! 10 days until we leave. I need to pack the computer up soon, but I am avoiding that!!
 We found a *gentler* grade route across the rockies, so wish us luck!
