This past weekend Grandpa and Grandma Jensen came for a visit. Grandpa knew exactly what to do to warm Becca up to him . . . he brought her a new “Flopsie” bear. The panda is a Rinconada – “carefully hand-carved and detailed in fine grain earthenware ceramic material.” Becca is delighted to have her new “glass Flopsie.” Becca also enjoyed reading and playing games with Grandma. It was fun to see her interact with her grandparents.
On Friday Grandpa & Grandma took us to the Dallas Zoo. It was the perfect day for being at the zoo – great weather and not many people. Becca’s favorite part was walking (“Becca walk!“) around the zoo. The animals Becca really enjoyed were the giant lizard, the elephants, the giraffe, and the fish. Becca was quite worn out after our day at the zoo.
Saturday we went the Fort Worth Stockyards, where we saw a little bit of the western Texas. The rest of the visit was chatting and just enjoying time together. On Sunday both Grandpa and Grandma spoke at church for our missions emphasis Sunday. We had a great visit together and now Becca has some fresher memories with her grandparents J.
I loved this post! That picture at the bottom with the Jensens is definitely a treasure. I like the giraffe picture too. Such a long tongue. I want to play Mancola with Becca. 🙂 Love to all!
Loved the picts of Becca with Grandpa and Grandma. I know that they had a good time. How fun that Becca has two Flopsies now.
Actually Becca has 4 or more Flopsies now. 🙂
Thank you, Josh, Amy, and Becca for a wonderful weekend. It was fun making new memories and hopefully helping Becca remember who we are. Great meals, Amy, and the sacrifice of time and groceries 🙂 were also appreciated. (esp the cheese) The nice weather for all our outings was a special blessing, too, after your incredibly hot summer. We love you and look forward to our next time together.
Thanks for sharing your week with us, its almost like being there! It was great seeing the Jensens at graduation, they’re looking great!! Glad to see the Panda Family is growing!!
