Many of our adoption family members live in either North or South Carolina - and so we don't get to see much of them. We've been out their way a couple of times, and there has been amazing southern hospitality extended to us. Last week - we got to re-pay the gift in a small way when Shannon & Colson tagged along on Matthew's business trip.
On Wednesday, we went to the LA Zoo - and brought along Paloma & Vincent.
some monkeys were in cages...others....well, not!
wrestling alligators
Thursday, we headed down to Long Beach & the aquarium - and were joined by another CWA mom, Terri and her son Elisha. They have a really cool new exhibit there where the kids could touch a jellyfish. Normally very timid about these kinds of things, Becky got totally into it.
There is a great outdoor area complete with a water boat
Becky also really liked the tide pool experience....
but she loved the sting ray tank! Last time we were there (just a few weeks ago she would have nothing to do with them) - but this time, she just couldn't get enough of them!
You may have noticed that there are no pictures of Katie at the sting ray tank - she, my normally brave & fearless child, would have absolutely nothing to do with them!
Waiting for the seal and sea lion show to start
Finding a lot of Nemos!
Wouldn't be a complete Southern California experience without at least one character experience!
It was so fun to be able to spend some time with Shannon and Terri and their boys - love our CWA family and am so thankful that God brought each of them into our lives!
