Day With Grams

Today, the boys and I got to spend a precious day with my Grams (the only lady in the world these kids call "Grandma.") She had asked us a few weeks ago if we'd take her to the Zoo. We go there so often, that she wanted what she called a visit to "OUR Zoo," meaning she wanted to experience it the way we experience it.

We picked her up and got to the Zoo gates just a few minutes after they opened, and got to spend the entire morning there enjoying the animals, the kids, the company before it got too terribly hot and crowded.

Some highlights:
-watching LC feed a stingray with his bare hands
-watching SC avoid a stingray with his bare hands
-feeding the lorikeets
-watching the primates
-visiting the baby elephant
-spending 3 uninterrupted quality hours with my Grandma

Some photo highlights:

pretty smooth LC

maybe a little too smooth??

LC and a really precious orangutan

by the time we got home, they were done in... I was too.

What an awesome day. Thanks Grams for the idea, for coming along, and for being just supremely fantastic! We love you bunches and bunches!
