On Thursday, June 20, Grandma B. drove up from Warsaw to meet Christie and Ellie-Kate. We all headed for the Potawatami Zoo, and Ellie-Kate got to play in the very cool playground before the zoo opened at 10 a.m. We just love this zoo! Christie visited it on school trips as a young girl, and Emmy and Chelsea loved it when we came to visit Britti during her time at Saint Mary's College. Now, Ellie-Kate has her turn to enjoy this special little zoo. We saw the tigers, and Ellie-Kate got to ride on a pony. We all rode the train, and we saw the kangaroos in their neat habitat. Around 11:30 a.m., we left and headed for Burger King for a quick lunch. Ellie-Kate had fun on the playground with four little boys and ate a bit of lunch. We spent some time in University Mall, and Ellie-Kate found a new friend at the Disney Store-- Little Brother from Mulan. (Apparently, Mulan had a dog in the first minute of the move-- who knew?!?) Afterward, we drove over to ND and watched Emmy's defense practice and scrimmage and then went to Meijer's and then Logan's to eat. Grandma B. left about 6 p.m., and Ellie-Kate played some soccer at SMC before we drove back over to ND and watched Emmy as she played another scrimmage game. Overall, a great day in "the Bend"!!
