Sunday we decided it was the perfect weather to take a trip to the Nashville Zoo! We got there just as the zoo was opening so it wasn’t too crowded, which is always nice! We headed first to see the giraffes and rhinos. We had great views of both {but of course I didn’t take a picture of either}….did you know giraffes are my favorite animal at the zoo? Well, now you do! Libby needed a potty break, so while Lee walked her to the ladies room the little two and I found the picnic tables and set up snack time.
Libby is a “collector” and came back with a collection of leaves that she had found along the way.
Right above the picnic area is a zip line. Lee was curious if our ride pass included included the zip line. I thought it did, so he headed off to take a ride.
We all watched and cheered from below. Libby very surely declared that she also wanted to ride the zip line. As Lee and Libby stood in line I was POSITIVE that she wouldn’t actually ride it, that when it was her turn she would change her mind. To my amazement I watched as she confidently hopped on and went for a ride!
Next we saw the meerkats and Whitney did her best impression.
The flamingos were our next stop.
We kept exploring to find more animals.
About this time I realized we were missing one of Emry’s shoes {it had fallen out of the stroller}. We retraced our steps and someone had kindly sat it on a fence post. As I went to put it safely in my diaper bag I discovered that as we were looking for one shoe WE HAD LOST HIS OTHER ONE!! I mean…
Again we retraced our steps…and again someone had found it and put it in a safe place where we could find it. I secured them both in the diaper bag and we forged ahead.
We ended with one more trip down the zip line and a ride on the carousel. It was such a fun trip!
And we left with all the shoes we came with!
