Irvine Park with the Dombeks

We met Auntie Leslie, Kara, and Avery at Irvine Park for big park fun.  First we went on the train.  The little kids had to sit with the mommies...

But we big kids got to sit on our own...

Look, Moms, no hands!

Tommy tried to keep up with all of our running, jumping, and balancing... 

And our peacock chasing!  Don't worry, we didn't really pull this off a peacock, just found it lying on the ground after chasing one.

We also went to the zoo and saw owls, mountain lions, eagles, and bears.  

My wingspan is almost as big as a barn owl's!

But the best part was, of course, the petting zoo.

They even had a brush that the goats loved.  I showed Tommy how to use it...

I was very gentle.  This one was my favorite.

Kara and I named him "Black Light". 

Tommy's a quick learner, and this little kid was just his size.  

After rubbing barnyard animals, it's always good to eat with your hands.  Picnic time!

 Yes, Tommy did shove this whole watermelon triangle (and many more) in his mouth.  He would have eaten the rind too if we didn't take it away from him.  Maybe he learned a little too much from the goats...

Before we left, I got to go on a pony ride.  Tommy was too little.  I love being a big kid!

Giddyup, Don!  One step closer to being a full-fledged cowgirl.
