"Mommy Mondays"...A Girl at the Zoo

I haven't had a chance to write about this until now, but a few weeks ago, we took Eliana to the zoo. This wasn't just any trip to the zoo, though. Eliana's best friend, Harper, went, too! Harper and her Mommy and Daddy moved away a few months ago, and we miss them a lot! We decided not to tell Ellie where we were going until we were almost there. We also chose not to tell her that Harper would be there because we wanted her to be surprised. About 15 minutes from the zoo, we told her the name of the zoo. She immediately responded with, "That's where Harper lives!!!" She had been talking about Harper a lot recently, and she really wanted to see her. She had even mentioned that she wanted to show her the new jewelry she had been given, and she wanted to share it with her. She still didn't know Harper was going to be at the zoo, though, so we decided to video their reunion. It was so cute! Neither of them knew what to do once they saw each other! The video may not work in Safari, but it should work in Chrome. I'm not sure about the other browsers.

Eliana loved the zoo, but I think she loved walking around with her best friend even more! Oh, and the splash pad was a big hit, too!
