Postcard Update/Deer Park Visit

Yesterday we took a little excursion to the Deer Park. This was actually a postcard seeking trip for our Postcard Swap that is being hosted by Tanya Peila. She is hoping to start the swap at the beginning of April and seeing as we are going in the order that the states joined the union I have to have my cards ready to go ASAP living in Pa. Figured I better get them ready to send as I will be busy with newborn baby stuff soon.

We were able to find some postcards, but I will have to buy some elsewhere so I have enough. Speaking of which, here are the states that are still needed:

Iowa
Louisiana
Mississippi
Nebraska
North Dakota
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Vermont

And how does mom get the children interested in going on a 20 minute drive to get postcards? By telling them we will get to feed the deer of course. Though Tabitha was somewhat interested in picking out the cards. (I do plan on using the info we gather through this swap to have them each make a book on the states, so even if they aren't too interested right now at their young age, we will have it as a resource as they get older)

So, here are the pictures from the deer park.

Even with the fence between the girls and the deer, the girls were a tad bit scared. Tabitha tended to throw the crackers at the deer. She didn't like the fact that her hand was so close if she was holding the cracker and the deer's mouth was on the other end.
