Our "Stay-Cation"

Dear Lorelai,

This week was supposed to be your very first camping trip, but things didn't go exactly as planned. Since we were not able to go camping we went to the Farmers Market, the Zoo and the Arboretum instead.

You always love going to the Market, but this time you had even more fun than usual because we took your wagon. You, Brother Bear and Kamaria all took turns riding in the wagon. Y'all had so much fun sampling all the different fruits and vegetables. I think your favorite was the mango, so Wela bought you one. I think I will make you some fruit salad tomorrow and add the mango in.

The night before we went to the Zoo I got your Zoo Animals puzzle out and we were playing with the pieces. I asked each of y'all which was your favorite animal. You picked up the giraffe and said you wanted to see him at the Zoo. We got up early the next morning and headed to the Zoo. We saw the gorillas, flamingos, elephants, zebras... and the giraffes. You even got to feed the giraffe. We played in the water for a little while, then everybody was getting tired so we left. You had so much fun at the Zoo with Mommy, Wela, Brother Bear and MyMy.

Yesterday we went to the Arboretum with Mommy, Wela, Aunt Heather and all of your cousins. We saw all of the pretty flowers and you and your cousins ran off and played in the grass. After that we ate lunch and played in the water. We stayed at the Arboretum for about 4 hours, but (as usual, since this is Texas) it got to hot and we had to leave.

You had an awesome week, even when we just stayed at home. You loved having Wela home for five nights in a row. Tonight is Wela's first night back to work, so now I have to work go wake her up.


With Love,
Mommy
