Zoo trip

Taking advantage of one of the last remaining Saturdays before our move to the apartments in town (and packing up box after box) we decided to take the kiddos to the Zoo. Katelyn was overjoyed that she didn't have to ride in a stroller. She got to wear the monkey backpack with the leash for us to hold on to just in case it got very crowded (which at times it sure did depending on what exhibit you went into).
We love the Nashville Zoo, our only complaint would be that you have to walk a lot from animal to animal--but I guess that is good for the animals because they get more space to roam.
Katelyn walked the entire time, all except for the steepest hill. I'm glad we have a Zoo Pass.

Landon loved it even though he looks serious, and Katelyn, well she only spent a few seconds up there and then spent the rest of the ride crying in my lap.
A quick hug in front of the monkey exhibit.

Alligators. She thought they were the coolest things.
And a $9, one minute ride on a tiny train--not worth the money! But Landon said he liked it.

I'm sure we'll go couple more times this summer--but we'll have to make sure it's not too hot when we go. Tennessee summers are so yucky so you end up spending most of your day inside.

Looks like all kinds of fun. If all goes as planned we want to take you guys to the zoo here in SLC. It has been years since we have been there and look forward to the visit.

Sounds like you guys had fun. The weather here is still lame so we haven't done anything (not that the IF zoo is all that exciting haha). I loved Katelyn's little outfit and clip. Very cute. Looks like she's got some curls!
