Grandma Debbie came to visit us for the weekend so we decided to take her to the zoo on Saturday morning. We saw many baby monkeys hanging on their Mama's tummies or backs. We also saw a very pregnant Mama monkey with a baby in her belly. Larkyn enjoyed showing Grandma the birds and reptiles of the Tropics Trail. We finished with the dolphins, sharks and fish in Discovery Bay. Larkyn enjoyed putting her hands in the water just above the Sting Rays...YIKES!
On Saturdays during the winter months there are many opportunities for kid crafts and activities. We sat down for a bit so Larkyn could create a card for her daddy. We cut out starfish, sharks, and dolphins to color and glue on the card.
She was more interested in the supplies than actually creating the card!
Later in the evening, Shea, Larkyn and I met my mom and her friend Scott and some of his extended family at Cadillac Ranch in the Mall of America for dinner. Larkyn was very social that night and got playing a game with beaded necklaces with a little girl and boy next to our table. No relation or knowledge of who they were...just fun people to be around I guess! She also enjoyed jumping on the inflatables that surrounded the mechanical bull until she got kicked out with the rest of the kids! It was fun getting to know Scott a little more this weekend and meeting some of his family. We would have loved to have stayed to join in the fun on the rides at Nickelodeon Universe, but our little lady was pooped, and it was time for bed!
