Giant Pandas, Hippos, Orangutans... OH MY!


Hello Everyone.....

Hope you all are doing good!

Happy Belated Birthday, little sis.... :)

Dad.. I am so glad that the transplant went well, and you finally got to go home. Keep getting better!!

I had 4 days off last weekend so guess what?... Mom and I headed to San Diego to meet up with our friends, and we ended up at the San Diego Zoo.. :)


On the road again........ :) This is me in my car seat along with Cubby Bear and Mr. Moose. Mr Moose is my Moose that I got on my trip to the Grand Tetons two years ago. He stays in the car and is hooked up to some chimes which I love. :)

I had so much fun. My favorite was the Hippos. I talked to them... I watched them swim and come right up to the glass by me... Mom took me back 3 times, so I could see them.

We saw many other animals too..

The Polar Bear swimming.... I took a nice long nap while we hung out at the Polar Bears.


The Orangutans - Apes were silly as usual.

My name is Clyde.......



Meet Indah (the rebel).....

And the Giant Pandas... We hung out there for quite some time.... If you head over to my mom's blog, she did a special piece on the Giant Panda's and has quite a few photos posted too.

We went to the petting zoo, but I was quite tuckered out by then. Here I am getting my picture taken with this lovely Parrot.



Oh and I got to ride in a van around the zoo when we needed to go up the steep hills. The van is like the size of my school bus. It was so much fun!



Mom and I on the Hippo.....


It's been very hot here in Ventura this week... Tomorrow I have half day then mom, and I are heading up to see my great grandparents and my grandpa and grandma. Plus mom has to go to the High School Varsity Football game tomorrow night to photograph the twins. She is going to freeze there. Luckily, I get to stay with grandma at home with a nice fire going in my warm pj's. :) YEA!

I am out of school all next week, so I get to go swimming a lot! and lots of walks! :) YEA!!

Hope everyone's October is going well.... Have a "Happy Weekend".

Love,
Kayla

So much to report.......

Alert: Please make note or re-do your bookmark: My blog address has changed to: www.kaylawassell.blogspot.com. Mom took the other one and this is more appropriate for me. :) I wanted princess Kayla, but can you believe it wasn't available.....

Hi Everyone......

I have been very busy and was a bit under the weather, but doing so much better now....

September was a great month full of exciting happenings... I got my new bath equipment, braces, wheelchair and tray...



The bottom photo shows how when my chair reclines back and forth, its in a rocking motion.... Well I mentioned that it should be a constant rocking motion all the time.. I would LOVE that! :) But apparently technology hasn't come that far...



Last Saturday was my first day at the Special Olympics Bowling practice session. It was the last one before the tournament. Things were a little unorganized this year, so mom didn't find out till last week. I had so much fun and bowled three games. I really did well, paid attention to what was going on, where the ball was going and definitely knew when I was having to wait longer than usual for my ball to come back. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures, but practice starts back up in a week or two, so I will get some then to share.

Yesterday was October 1st... First day of Halloween month which meant I could wear my Halloween top that my step mom, Amanda made for me. I couldn't wait to wear it.




Mom sent my camera with me to school and my teacher took a couple of pics of me.







Well, I need to end this here as I am off to go swimming... Wanted to hurry up and get this update posted since I didn't do it last night. I was too tired from school.

Hope everyone is doing well.. Have a great rest of the week and weekend... Till next time...

Love,
Kayla
