Maymont Park...

To help quell the spells of yelling (ah rhyming), we decided to take Tessa on an outdoor adventure at Maymont Park in Richmond. That's right. We drove 4 hours so Tess could experience a park in Richmond. Actually we've been in Richmond for a week with Jaime's family. It's a pretty strange park, mainly because there are animal habitats all around. It's a little like a mini-zoo.

We started at the Childrens farm. Since our baby is broken (her setting is stuck on 'scream'), we went to check out some of the fresh new crop to perhaps make a trade. Here I am presenting Tessa to potential barterers. No one made any bids.


Well, it turns out childrens farm is not at all what it sounds like. There was no farming of childrens at all. In fact, all they had were animals: goats, sheep and birds. Jaime squealed and squealed when she saw the baby goats frolicking. I hate the word frolic for not having a K on the end. Goats make surprisingly cute babies.


We fed some big goats...not cute at all.


We saw bears...and Tessa used a statue to show them what she would do to them. Head stomped! I thought the nicest part of the park was the Japanese garden. It was really peaceful until a pack of wild teenage girls showed up screeching and barking about the giant goldfish in the pond.


After the teenagers showed up, all the animals fled to this rock in the middle of the pond. I envied them.


And finally some pictures of Tess with her best girlfriend. Tess really loves exploring new places and she was pretty content the whole time we were out and about.

Tess is so cute! Enjoy her while her screams aren't real words yet..and she can't run away from you laughing...and she's not one of those annoying teenage girls looking at the giant goldfish. :)

I miss you guys.

Baby goats are very cute. Tess, however, is even cuter than baby goats. I'm glad that you didn't barter her away. But if you ever do sell her, make sure that she goes for a high price. Cute babies = more bargaining leverage.

Maymont is a weird park. Its like Epcot Center without any money and if they could only present gardens. Tess seems pretty intent on staring right into the camera.
