Just Elle and Mama

Last Friday Elle and I spent all day together.

It was just the two of us. 

We started out at the Safari Park bright and early.

We got there right when they opened and it was perfect timing.

All of the animals were out, it wasn't crowded and it was nice and cool.

We only stayed a couple of hours, but we had so much fun!

 We saw the ducks in the lagoon first.

Elle was a little nervous that they were so brave and got so close.

Once she realized that they weren't going to bother her she started quacking and saying "duck."

 Then we said hi to the pretty white bird.

 Then off to the gorillas.

Elle was very nervous with them. There were so many of them, they were so close and they were so active.

She kept saying "bye bye" letting me know it was time to move on.

 Next we went to the lions.

There were three of them that were so active and Elle loved them.

She kept making roar sounds and laughed watching them run.

One last stop at the lagoon to say bye to the ducks and then home for nap time... for both of us.

She took a 3 hour nap and I took advantage of every minute and napped myself. It was wonderful.

Then we were off to Papa and Abuelita's place to help unpack a bit and then off to the Fish Fry at church.

I love spending time with both of my girls, but every now and then it is wonderful to have a little one on one time. Elle and I had so much fun together!
