zoo trip 2011

We took a trip to the Nashville zoo just before Halloween. It was really warm, but there was a cool breeze so it seemed like a perfect day to go. We stopped by the BIG animals first (the elephants, giraffes in the back of the zoo). The boys liked them, and had no trouble finding them.

But near the giraffes there was a coin thing where you could watch your coin go around and round, and they may have liked this better than anything else (much to our dismay).

There was a lot of walking. Thankfully, this zoo is flat and the paths are all nicely paved for walking. Still it was hard on them to walk so much that day.

Phoebe was pretty content in her stroller.


Lunch was a nice break. The boys were cracking up about something the whole time.

We hit the aquarium next. The fish are always a big hit.

The rest of the animals were tougher to spot, and Lewis did not have the patience to look much. Owen did better, but also couldn't see several of them. Phoebe got to nap, which is what we all felt like doing when we left there! Overall, it was a fun day. We did spend a little bit of time at the awesome playground before we headed out and that was a blast as always. The boys had a burst of energy when they saw all the fun stuff to play on.
