a few fun ones

Just a few fun ones! :)

Valentine

My dear cousin has a bull calf. A real live little bull calf! Valentine is his name as he was "rescued" by her and became an early Valentine's gift. 

We visited thinking we would just sort of stare at him, but he really wanted to play with the girls. When they would run, he would bound after them like a wobbly-legged little puppy. We all thought he was adorable. 

He definitely thinks my cousin is his mommy. He's a blessed little guy as she is a wonderful mommy.

I have a feeling that the next time we see him, we wont be playing quite the same way. :)

The English Tea Room

One of our favorite places was this little English tea room around a quiet corner in downtown Naples.

It was a unique treat! If only we could have purchased the Prince William and Kate decorative wedding plate... oh well :)

Grampy and Grandma do it up right!

I'll catch up with a few pictures from our trip to Florida:

First: this is what happens during 1 day (just 1 day) with Grampy and Grandma. 

No wonder they want to live there! :)
