Buffalo Gal

Since the weather was so nice today (in the 80s!), I decided to take Kylee back out to the Wildlife Refuge to feed the prairie dogs and look for buffalo. Unfortunately, I miss read a sign and ended up in the wrong spot. Apparently "dog run trail" is NOT the same as "prairie dog run"! There were also no buffalo to be found. However, we did come VERY close to a family of raccoons and a herd of longhorn. Kylee was happy with that. We stopped for a picnic near lost lake. The weather and the scenery were gorgeous! After that we went to the visitors center. Kylee always has a lot of fun there. Two of Kylee's playgroup friends, Nathaniel and Carrie, joined us along with their mommies.
This evening we went over to grandma's. While we were there grandma and Uncle Steven gave Kylee a buffalo that used to be Steven's when he was itty bitty. I can't believe they still had it! Kylee loves it and has hardly put it down since she got it.

As close as she was allowed to get
These guys got so close! One actually grazed the mirror!
