Elephants, tigers, and zebras!

We spent Labor Day at the Memphis zoo and had the best time. It may have only enhanced Jones' deep fascination with animals. Last night he slept with a stuffed alligator, lion, and rabbit and a plastic zebra, cow, and horse. The kid knows what he likes. And what he likes is an animal.

He was hilarious the whole day. He would yell "what animal dat?!" then before we could answer he would say "oh! Dat a monkeeeeee" (or lion or tiger or whatever it was.) He would then proceed to make the appropriate animal sounds, my favorite being the elephant. He would literally run from exhibit to exhibit. Bless his heart.

When it was time to take a break and eat lunch, we made the mistake a choosing a shady picnic table next to the carousel. Jones wanted nothing to do with food. So trey and I took turns riding the carousel while the other ate lunch. He was too excited to eat, sleep or slow down.

Sweet baby fell asleep at 6:30 last night.

Love fun family days and love long weekends!

Baby Anna's first trip to the zoo!

This was his "cheese" face!

He kept saying "wake up bear!"

It was a hot day!
