PAP TOOK US TO THE ZOO TODAY

Does this remind you of a song? "Daddy's takin us to the zoo tomorrow and we can stay all day!"

Today was a first for us, not going to the zoo, but taking Ben and Emma. It was too cold to walk around outside so we walked around inside the rainforest! What a blessing and gift of a day!!!! I am still flying high on joy!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have such wonderful grandchildren!!!!!! No brag, just fact. We looked at turtles, frogs, birds, snakes, bats, deer, anteater, crocodiles, fish, monkeys and more. It is such fun to see things through the excitement of a child! Gram and Pap had as much fun as the kids.

Another wonderful blessing is that these little ones already have a heart for God and love to sing his praises. I am thankful to their beautiful parents for modeling love for God and for giving this legacy to their children. I am overwhelmed in happiness. Ben wanted to bring his Veggie Tales CD to play in the car (apparently Jon and Jenna can't go anywhere without playing that CD in the car when Ben is with them). Although the zoo was much fun, I think this was the highlight of the day. (So sorry - had a wonderful video of the kids singing "This is the day that the Lord has made". Tried downloading it, but after 45 minutes and no success, I gave up. Hope to post it tomorrow.)

We ate at Diana's for lunch. Both kiddos were well behaved and clean platers!!!!

After taking Ben home, we cuddled with Sam. Too small yet baby, but soon you will be coming too.

After taking Emma home she wanted to know "Are you guys going to hang out with Mommy and Emma???" How sweet! Then proceeded to tell Mommy what she saw at the zoo: "A monkey peeing!" What a hoot!!!

Thanks for a wonderful day, babies! Ty, gotta plan something for you soon!

Blessings and Shalom and much love.
