Annslee absolutely loved hanging out with the big girls. Lianne is from Jiangxi and she is so good with the little ones! (Jenna is her little sister)
Of course Joe had to hold both girls for a minute. He was really trying to see who is the heaviest and we think it was a tie : ) Handsome Edward got in the shot too!
We walked in and I think we were quite a sight to see ~ imangine eleven 3 1/2 year olds and their siblings and parents arriving together....yeah, it was FUN!! Oh, and of course they weren't quiet either LOL
We were greeted by a giant Panda!! As Annslee says he was "dressed up" and she flares her hands out like a dress : ) She loved hugging the panda and we did it again on our way out.
Our attempt at a group shot...yeah, not good. There was someone dressed as a warthog nearby and some of the girls were not happy about it (A included) so we have some tears in this one
Annslee loved standing like a flamingo
We made our way to the Pandas!!!
A little background on this pic~ Annslee has this panda puppet that we bought in Guangzhou and she loves it. It "reads" her stories at night, plays with her, etc.... She wanted to bring it to meet a real Panda and she kept saying it would be scared and scream when it saw the big one. Oh, and she was right...the Panda (aka Annslee ) did scream and very loudly!!
The big Panda didn't seem to notice and kept eating his bamboo : )
It's ok baby Panda... I will take care of you!
The Chinese dancers were a hit with the girls as they stood by the stage and at times danced along
For some reason she loved these ladies more than the little girls so she got her picture with them
We had such a great time taking over the Zoo and enjoying being with each other again. I was going to post the rest of Saturday on this post but I already had too many pics so I guess I will just have to post again! LOL
