with my grammie & grampie
a few weeks ago my parents came down and took ellington to the zoo. it was a day just about her, what kid doesn't love that. ellington loves animals and keeps talking about her trip and all the animals she saw, the train, the candy, the mask and of course the animal she didn't like...the lion.
the zoo had a craft area where kids could draw and color a red panda mask
"where'd ellington go?"
this is what she says when she holds up her mask at home and then cracks up at herself.
grammie & grampie let elle pick out a special animal to bring home. one for her and one for beckett. elle found "Leo" the leopard right away and a tiger for beckett. She sleeps with Leo every night now.
checking out all the animals
grampie and elle find a little duck waddling around
stopping for a lunch break with the flamingos
grammie and elle checking out the swans
{notice the black one in the pond}
sweet love
next up...train ride around the zoo
my dad told elle to "hang on!" she then asked "how do you do that?"
my dad replied with holding his arms...and so elle followed and did the WHOLE train ride. how funny! she's so stinkin' cute and for sure a rule follower
thanks for the fun train ride grammie & grampie
taking a break with leo and tiger
i think i see something in here...
grampie gave elle some fish food and boy did they love it...
that's a lot of fish..yikes!
and of course you have to make a stop at the candy store
these next 3 pictures just melt my heart...so much love
finding just the right one
i love you!
thank you grammie and grampie for an AWESOME trip to the zoo. next year beckett can come too, but i for sure liked my day with just you 2.
a few days after the zoo i got a coupon for a photo book, so the mailbox should be full soon with a fun photo book of elle's trip the zoo. pretty sure she'll read it over and over and over again. it's so great to have family close and grandparents who love our kids. thanks mom and dad for spending a day with elle, she absolutely loved it.
