I flew to Virginia on March 17 to surprise Josie! The small plane was worth it to see her face when I landed -- first was the scream "Aunt Ginny!" and next was "Can you spend the night?" She turned 6 on March 9 and although I missed her birthday I made up for it with this trip! I got to visit her school on March 18 - ate lunch with her, met her teacher and classmates, and saw her classroom. Even got to play on the playground!
She is in Kindergarten at a wonderful school in Williamsburg and is learning to read. I got to hear her read three books!
I loved having sister/niece time with my family! We also went to Norfolk Zoo on Saturday - it was the perfect size for an afternoon visit.
We went to the prairie dog houses and saw lots of animals like kangaroos!
They also had an African exhibit with lions, elephants, and giraffes!
It was an amazing afternoon with two of my favorite people!
We especially liked the elephants, although Josie was scared she'd fall in the elephant habitat!
Josie took many pictures with her own camera, she's now a scrapbooker too - must run in the family!
Missed Dave so much on this trip but got to see Phish's favorite spot - the Hampton - from the interstate! Emailed him the picture so he'd feel like he was with us too!! :)
