A Beautiful Day!

I know it's been a while but I've had a good reason why I've been gone. Okay, not really but it sounded good! Saturday, April 10, Terry, Natalee & I picked up Ryan & Katie Lauren. We were heading to the zoo! We met up with Brandi & Byron in Southaven (they left earlier than we did) and ate lunch at Chili's. We then headed to Memphis. We had to find an alternate route, cause they had a wreck on the interstate. Great! We didn't know our way around that area, but we figured it out...with the help of Tom Tom! We finally made it about 1:30 and of course the parking lot was full & we had to park down the road. Natalee really enjoyed herself. She loved seeing all of the different animals & knew what the monkeys & fish were when we saw them. She got excited at every new thing. The meerkats look like my mom's chihuahua, Trixie, and when we got to them, Natalee started yelling, "Tixie, Tixie". I had to break her heart & tell her no that was not Trixie & no she could not play with them! The zoo has added a new exhibit called "Teton Trek". They have a big lodge, that I would die to have as a home, grizzly bears, elk and wolves. I got some good pictures of some of the animals. The Memphis Zoo is having a calendar contest where you can enter pics taken at the zoo from April 2009 through the first of May 2010. You can go to their website to enter your pics then on May 16 they will narrow it down to 5 for each category, then post those top 5 on their facebook page. The public will have a chance to vote on their 13 favorite pics, one for each month & one for the cover. I'll post the pics I entered along with some others of our day!
