giraffe class at the zoo

monday morning everyone loaded up and headed to the zoo. everyone that is except me. i stayed home to work while matt took time off to go to a giraffe class at the zoo with madelyn. (i am trying to save a few vacation days in case baby boy comes a little early.) since grandma loves the zoo, i sent her and mason too. they couldn't go to the class with madelyn and matt, but they were able to spend time walking around the zoo.

it sounds like madelyn and daddy had a great time during their class. and grandma pointed out that matt was the only parent/adult to wear their leaf hat when the class went over to see the giraffes at the end of class. madelyn came home with all sorts of crafts made during the class and loves that she has a bag to put them all into at the end of each day.

they met back up with grandma and mason for lunch and a ride on the carousel. grandma said that mason enjoyed watching the other kids more than the animals which isn't really surprising.

after the zoo everyone came back home for grandma to pack up her suitcase and get ready for the airport. matt ended up having to work so the kids and i took grandma to the airport. both kids fell asleep on the way and didn't get to actually say good-bye to grandma at the airport. they actually slept the whole way home too.

we had a nice time with grandma and hope that she had fun too. maybe next time big pop can come visit too and we won't have so many appointments that keep them stuck at the house. love.
