Our first family trip to the Zoo!

This was our first family visit to the Memphis Zoo. We had a wonderful time. It was the perfect day for visiting the animals. The weather was wonderful and the kids really enjoyed looking at the animals. Kalyn and Lamar enjoyed looking at the snakes. Mom, however, did not. Those are the best snakes ones inside glass and not in your house (that is a story for another time). Kalyn says four year olds like snakes. Kalyn was looking for a place to sit and rest her legs. She found the perfect place in a hollow tree with a friend.

The elephant was big hit. The kids loved them. We watched them eat. You know what happens after eating. He did is business right there in front of us. Kalyn laughed and laughed. She found that so funny.

After looking at the animals, all the kids had fun playing on the play ground. We had a wonderful day at the Zoo.

We had tickets to a Red Birds game. We decided that the Zoo was not quite a full day...So... the kids and I rested in the 4-Runner while Chad ran in to the Apple Store to get some info. on compters that we might need when we move overseas. That 30 minutes in the running car, with gas prices the way they are, was wonderful. We headed to the ball field.

The kids had fun at the game as well. I do not know how much of the game they really saw, but we had fun any way.

Lamar had more fun on the ground between the seats than he did in a seat. Between the "Red Bird" and playing on the ground he had a blast. What a day. We were all ready to head back to Grenada. We could not have asked for such a wonderful family day!!
