Go, Horsey! Go!

We’re in Tulsa.  We arrived on Friday and are staying until Tuesday or Wednesday.  Steve, Claire and I went to the mall on Saturday, and Claire and her daddy got to ride the carousel.  There are a lot of great pictures, so I decided to post them all.  Enjoy!

PopPop also makes a great horse.  Here Analise and Claire are going for a ride.028

And I just had to post this series of pictures because it’s cute to watch Claire’s falling off.  She loved it and got back up just so she could fall off again.029

Ready to Shop!

Claire rarely goes anywhere without her purse these days.  She’s getting so big.  (The contents of the purse – crayons, a page out of a coloring book and a Little People figurine – today it was the birthday girl with a red balloon.)  She’s a great shopping buddy!  Love my girl!!
