I want to thank you for allowing me along on your trip to the zoo. I enjoyed seeing, the three of you enjoying, your zoo trip too. Panda’s are incredible. We had a pair in the Toronto Zoo, here in Canada, many years back and they were amazing to get the chance to watch. They were just on loan to us and I don’t believe they are still here. Sending nothing but positive prayers and hope to your entire family.... and of course, much concern and love also 💕
I'm so sorry for your loss. I just found your channel and, going through videos and found your lovely visit with the panda family, Tian Tian (papa), Mei Xiang (Mama), and their sweet, almost 3-year son (Xiao Qi Ji). I'm glad the pandas bought you joy.
Hi Josh and Sarah, Oh my gosh he is so cute! I would love to see a panda one day. Once years and years ago when Tony and I were about your ages and we were still living in L.A., they were advertising that they were going to have a manatee exhibit at the San Diego zoo for a short time only. I love manatees, they are one of my top ten favorite creatures in the whole world. I asked Tony if we could go, and he was a bit unsure because of some commitments we had made to help some friends move and the expenses of the trip that we were not prepared for. We would have to get a hotel because it was a long drive down the coast. The next day I folded up the newspaper article about the exhibit and put it in his lunch box. I cut out pictures of manatees and taped them all over the bathroom mirror. :) to make a long story short...of course we went! We had the most wonderful time and it is still one of my most special memories. Something else really neat happened too, when we got in that night to check in our hotel room they told us that even though we had a reservation they were all booked up and we had to get room somewhere else. I was crushed. I kindly yet firmly stood my ground which was kind of unusual for me in my younger years (Its funny how all that changes with menopause!). To our surprise the manager came out and said not to worry because he had a special room for us. The Presidential Suite!!! It was amazing, our own private elevator, a beautiful balcony overlooking the bay, marble and gold bathroom fixtures and red roses everywhere. Talk about lucking out! We splurged and ordered room service and had a wonderful weekend trip and the manatees were even more fascinating than I had imagined. :)
Hi friend! We love your posts, but with the amount we are getting I’m hoping you can shrink them down a bit, that way we can give you the attention you deserve. Longer comments are a bit more daunting, especially during more stressful times. ❤️🫶🏻❤️ your love, kindness, detail, and sharing is very important to us… 🫶🏻
I am so jealous but so happy Sarah got to meet Xiao Qi Ji! His name means "Miracle" and I watched him live while he was born. Great timing since he is headed to China this winter I believe.
So great you got to do this together. You deserve and need nice things in your life (apart from your wonderful husband and son of course!). Love and prayers as always from the uk x
Every time I went to a zoo my timing was off. All the animals were asleep. The panda was adorable. Looks like you had a good time getting out. Hope you made it home safe 👍🙏💕
There’s nothing like some time with animals and nature to soothe the soul❤
So true! 🫶🏻🫂❤️
Great break from everything going on family the best❤💙🫂
Sarah so happy to see you, Braedan and Josh enjoying the panda. Sending prayers and all my love🙏🏻💖💖💖💖

Us too! 🐼🫶🏻
For me being in nature and animals is therapeutic. So happy you got to experience it and with your family. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💖
It really is! 🐼🫶🏻
