Off to the Zoo

While the kids were on Fall Break, we decided to take a trip up to the Nashville Zoo...and we chose a perfect day! It was gorgeous weather!

Here's Kaden helping Morgan get up on the hippo. He's such a good big brother, very attentive.


Kaden even took Morgan up through this...

Morgan loves to swing, though she kept asking to swing in the handicap swing.


All the monkeys - look, Mom's not behind the camera for once!


Morgan spotted Dad and got his attention.

Watching the monkeys was like watching the boys - one was constantly aggravating the other one (that was content by himself)! We could've stayed for hours watching them.


This elephant was chewing on a log, and Morgan kept asking to go over...she insisted the ellie was her friend.

Giraffes aren't as interesting as other kids.

Off for some vittles.


After eating we promised Morgan a ride on the carousel, which Kolton wanted to ride, too. It was so funny, he's so anti-affection in public...doesn't even want me to get near him. So as the line got longer and longer, I waited for my perfect moment. As Kolton came around again, I yelled out, "HI, KOLTY"!!! I think he and Jamie about died, but for different reasons - Jamie about busted a gut laughing. I heard another mom say, "he's thinking, aw Mom"! It was priceless.


"The Look"

Morgan's second ride...on an OKAPI.


Look what got caught in the Meerkat Manor!

Jamie's view as we were heading back towards the play area.

Morgan's not sure of the serpent...
She saw Daddy on the other side, so she did finally go through.

Dad's turn.


Morgan finally mastered the shaky bridge, and then had to stay and play a while.


More swinging.



Morgan enjoyed a sno-cone as we left the zoo. She was so tired, once she passed this over to me she was asleep within seconds!
