Mother Daughter Date at the Zoo

Back in December, Karianna won a drawing contest, and one of her prizes was two tickets to the Phoenix Zoo. She and I finally used them today to hang out-a fun Mother/Daughter date all around!  We walked every single path (easy to do when there are two of us and no little kids!), saw the new tiger exhibit, which was GREAT, played in the splash pad (which was GREAT for me, as Karianna was giggling like a little girl, and I love seeing her like that), and ate lunch together next to the rose garden.  Super fun day, I really enjoyed my time with Karianna!

No commentary-just the picture reel :)

Sara Goes Buggy!

Sara was able to participate in one of my favorite little musicals today: Goin' Buggy!  Such cute songs, and Sara got to have a speaking part as a Bee.  She delivered her lines beautifully, though the mic started slipping at the end of her little speech, so you couldn't hear the tail end of it. No matter though-she looked beautiful, and so at home on the stage!  She did not smiling for a single second of the performance.  So many of the kids looked plain old sad...not Sara! she was beaming and singing her heart out from beginning to end.  I was so proud of her!  So glad you got to go Buggy this year, Sara!

We got there about an hour early, as I was determined to get really good seats!  No matter for James-he played while we claimed our spots at the door.

I Spy Sara!

Look at that smile-seriously, so happy!

This is thee picture-look at her smile next to all those other somber kids!!!!

Singing away!

And still smiling, lol!

Hanging on to that mic for dear life!

And making sure it wouldn't fall off again before she left it!

Love ya Gracie Girl!
