For reasons I will never understand completely, there was a Teddy Bear Tea Party in Boulder today.
We ate cupcakes …
… we listened to music …
… we chased bubbles …
… and I showed these people how bear-room dancing is done.
Unwilling to dance, Zoe simply impersonated a teddy bear all afternoon.
Go figure!

We went to a fair in Broomfield recently.

Tia Peggy came along.

Mom and Dad were very grateful.

There was a carousel without horsies ... or music ... or electricity.

Slides are great without any of those things.

Wheeeeee!

Then it was zoo time AGAIN. I brought Baby Doll so she could see the beasties.

I tried to leave her on Klondike and Snow, who assured me that they could babysit ...

.... but Dad wouldn't let me.

There is a sea lion at the zoo. Sea lions have ears. So does Dad. Dad is a sea lion.

I tried to show Baby Doll to this peacock. That didn't work out too well.

Then I tried to have Baby Doll push some exhibit buttons.

Last but not least, I tried to let Baby Doll see the elephants.

Once Baby Doll got tired, I decided to show these kids how crouching is really done.

I am a mongoose!

Dad finally took out his magic Umbrella of Light to take my picture.

I had other plans, though. ZzzzzzZzzzzzz ...

Riley's friend Osa was much more cooperative.
