Zoo

Last Thursday we headed to the zoo, it was 79 degrees that day! It was so warm! Our pass is expiring in a couple weeks and sadly we aren't renewing it because we are moving in two months. We have really enjoyed the Memphis Zoo and feel like we have gotten more than our money's worth out of it. It has been a great outlet for us and it is just down the street from Andrew's school so we have been able to meet him there lots of times! We'll see how many more times we can get there in the next couple weeks to enjoy it some more!
Ella specifically asked to see the "graphs" when we got there, so we headed there first. She remembered that there was a baby one on our way in and kept asking to see the baby and mommy and daddy. Luckily the baby one was out and was the closest one to us, she was thrilled!
Next we saw the elephants, one is pregnant and is expected to be born in August so when we come back this fall maybe we will have to go and see it, Ella would love that!We stopped and had a little snack/picnic we had packed and just enjoyed being able to be outside! Poor Easton was so hot, he was sweating, they told us the temperature was going to be 10 degrees lower than it was that day so we prepared for it to be a little cool and it was the opposite!The last thing we saw was the Sea Lion show. We were heading out just as it was about to start so we decided to stay and watch it. It is always fun to see and it had been a while since we had seen it, Ella liked it a lot more this time! By the time it was over they were ready to go, we had been there over 2 hrs and they were both overdue for naps so we headed home! We were really glad we went because it was cold and windy the next day!


Ella ate the entire container of Goldfish during the show! She did give Easton a few after I told her to share.
