Claire's class took a trip to Hugo Animal Farm. They saw a lot of animals, took a hay ride, ate lunch, jumped in a hay loft and pet a few of the cute animals. They rode school buses to and from the farm too (big hit).
Here is Claire with her preschool teacher, Ms. Susan, showing off her graduation certificate.
We went to the Minnesota Zoo to see the dinosaur exhibit. Claire was scared of the roaring beasts at first, but she got over the noise in a hurry. It was a rainy day, but that didn't stop us from going through the tour twice.
To continue with Claire's dinosaur obsession, this is Claire's birthday cake.
Claire had been begging for a pinata for a year and we kept telling her she had to wait until her birthday. Of course, it had to be a dinosaur. Better yet - a T-rex!
A shot with all the Pichners and Dufrenes at the double party. Claire and Ryan share the same birthday.
Claire took her first plane ride and she was very excited. She was a little anxious, but didn't get too scared. We flew into San Jose.
Our first stop on vacation was to the beach in San Fransisco. Running from big waves in the soft sand was a huge hit after a long plane ride. We stayed at Pat and Trudy's house the first night.
Then we drove to Yosemite park. We couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity to splash in this beautiful river on the way in. It was another nice break after a long car ride.
This was one of three short hikes to various waterfalls. Claire was a trooper and walked much of the time. Claire also attended her first wedding. She didn't know what to think of the whole ceremony (Jewish wedding), but she really like the dancing afterwards.
This was a long hike, but it was worth it to see the giant Sequoias. Claire was impressed. She's still talking about and drawing pictures of the trip.
