A Seriously Spectacular Surprise

You might have been wondering, where have our favorite blogging babies gone? Well, we do have a pretty busy social calendar and sometimes the blogging gets put on the shelf while we enjoy life. This week, however, our blogging has been put on hold because of a spectacular surprise visitor!

Just last weekend we found out that our Grandma's spring break plans changed and she was going to be able to visit us again! We were so excited to have her here for almost a whole week of fun and playing! Her last visit just wasn't long enough and we were just ecstatic to have her back! And Mommy loved having the help and another person to help keep us entertained (we are pretty busy little girls, you know!).

The last half of the week we had beautiful weather so we took the chance to show Grandma our favorite zoo. We introduced her to our panda bear friends because she's never seen a panda before! The zoo is the perfect place for our new ride as well! We had a great time seeing all sorts of animals and enjoying the 60-70 degree weather!
While Mom and Grandma enjoyed Starbucks (it's across the street from the zoo--Mommy has some sort of coffee-radar that helps her to know where every good coffee shop is located), we enjoyed our sippy cups (we've become expert sippy-cup drinkers) and a piece of tasty coffee-cake! It was de-li-cious!
Elyse: I didn't mind holding the bag from Starbucks because it meant I got to enjoy all of the crumbly, sugary pieces!
Felicity: While Elyse was busy finishing her snack, I had so much fun walking all over the zoo carrying our new friends! Grandma bought us stuffed animals that looked like the ones we got to see in real life at the zoo. The tigers were out and about in their exhibit and the red panda was sleeping in a tree. This was the first time that we really recognized the animals and got so excited to see them that we squealed in delight!

Here I am with our new friends: A sweet stuffed tiger (we're thinking we're going to name him Howard, but it's still up for debate) and a red panda (we're leaning towards Patsy for her name, what do you think?).

Thanks Grandma for all of the fun! We were so lucky you got to come and surprise us!
