I love my mom. She is the most vivacious, outgoing person I have ever met. She makes everyone feel special. She is an amazing missionary. She has been my best friend all of my life, even during the years when she drove me crazy and I didn't think she understood me.
This past week my mom came to Columbia so we could go to Time Out for Women together. Time Out is an outstanding conference designed for LDS women. You can read more about it
HERE.
Baylie LOVES her grammy. They have always had a special bond. I kept Baylie home from school so we could all go to the zoo together. Baylie was brave and fed the birds. This is a relatively new development for her.
The koala was particularly cute.
Baylie and Grammy rode the carousel together.
Jalen wanted to ride the tiger...
...and then the panther.
The kids enjoyed a pony ride.
Jalen was particularly happy that they let him ride the black horse. He didn't want to ride the other one.
Big enough.
Riding the rails.
Actually, Jalen told me that it wasn't a real train because there weren't any tracks.
And my favorite part of the zoo - feeding the giraffes!
We fed the squirrels...
..and rode the Galapagos turtles.
Not really.
Baylie conquered her fear of the gorilla (sort of).
Walk like a flamingo. (We were sad to learn that all the koi fish died because of polluted water.)
Jalen and Baylie got to touch a snake.
On our way out of the parking lot, the kids tried out their best dance moves.
We've got some serious talent. (Gotta love the flower in Jalen's mouth.)
Grammy was only here a week. The time flew by. Jalen was so sad when we left her at the airport. Baylie said it wasn't enough time. She was right.
