Wonderful Weekend

Silly girl all giddy to take her picture with the "gorilla"

Well, after last weeks tears, we really wanted to make a fun weekend for Ruby. Wish granted. Grammy and Pappy came down Saturday morning and instantly spoiled her with a little box of yummy treats. Ruby was thrilled to not have school, of course, and very happy to see her grandparents. We spent all day at home, cooking and playing and catching up. Very nice day. Larae & Woody made us a fab meal and I got another quiche in the oven. We enjoyed that Sunday morning b4 heading to the zoo. Spent all day there. Beautiful weather and so much fun. The grandparents treated her and I to a camel ride and some ice cream which were the highlights of her day. She was a happy little camper and so were we. No mention of school - just fun and play. Now this morning...well, THAT is another story. Walking in did not help. But, you know, tomorrow is another day. Let's hope for the best. :-)

I leave you with zoo shots...

She was such a little Daddy's girl this day. 

Love how she's holding his face.

Pappy, Pa, and Rubes checking out the animals.

Only Pa could hold her and pick her up for half the day. It was so sweet.

Adorable baby giraffe

Beautiful momma and baby

Gorgeous tiger. Ruby loves these and they were so active and playful today so it was something to see.

Mommy and Rubes in line for the camel.

Almost our turn!

And off we go! They are much faster than I thought. Of course, we also had like a minute ride after a half hour wait so maybe they just SEEMED fast, LOL.

Train ride is a must stop for each zoo visit.

Enjoying ice cream with Grammy

Yummy happy mouth!

Another must-do is a pic with this gorilla. This time Grammy got in on the action.

Our silly little monkey.
