WeekendWithGrammieDayTwo

 In lieu of 'FotoFriday,' I am posting Day 2 of our fun weekend with Grammie over Spring Break. It still counts, therefore, as a FotoFriday, I'm just not giving it a FotoFriday title.

Day Two of our most fun weekend, Dad was there. We got up, had breakfast and headed to the zoo. This was the biggest zoo we've been to yet! Obviously much bigger than our 'local' animal sanctuary and even bigger than the special zoo we frequent on a fairly regular basis. We even got to see some Koalas that were on loan from San Diego.  Despite taking a tram ride around the zoo, I must admit, we didn't see too many animals. It was almost too big for little ones. But we had a most wonderful time anyway.

 We decided to rent a tricked ride for the little ones.
Shaded and everything.

What would a trip to the zoo be without a petting zoo?

Fearless little guy, as always.

And what would a zoo be without a play area?
This zoo had plenty.
Here 'we' are in a Little People inspired play area.
Just like home.

Mommy and M.

 And Zachy and Mommy.
I think he wants to get back to playing.

 He loved this place.

This would be a perfect picture, except for the kid's butt in the background.

Grammie and M taking a break, watching ducks go by and talking.


On the porch of the most excellent treehouse.
A wonderland for creative toddler minds!

Three or was it four Merry Go Round rides?
I want to cry when I see her on Merry Go Rounds.
She looks so happy and so sweet.
Simple.
I hope she never stops.

Zachy did not nap the whole time there.
He's a trooper.
He found water.
And he liked it.

The Boys..

Pizza for dinner that night.
And Max and Ruby on the DVD player.
Followed by Bambi with Grammie.

Zachy's favorite thing to do at the hotel:
Unload and reload the refrigerator.

Lastly, before bed,
A Balloon Partay!
Woot-woot!

After the kids went to bed, Dad headed home so he could take care of the animals and get some 'work' done. 

A couple of 'cute' things from the day:
  • At the zoo, while on the tram, the conductor referenced Monkeys and a half asleep Zachy perked up and shouted out Gunky!
  • Back at the hotel, while walking through the courtyard, Mackenzie was singing very loudly Twinkle Twinkle Christmas star... People laughed. And smiled.
And so concludes Day Two.  Thank You, Grammie! Day Three, coming soon.
