a trip to the zoo

Posted by on Jun 29 2011 at 12:29 pm

Steph and Eli made a trip to the zoo this morning with our friends Krista and Ryleigh. While not his first trip to the Nashville Zoo, it was the first one he was conscious for. He slept through every exhibit the last time around. Lesson Learned: Don’t go to the zoo during nap time.

Steph says his favorite of the trip were the elephants, and I imagine they are about the biggest thing he’s seen in his short life. Actually, they’re the largest land mammal on the planet aren’t they, so they’re the biggest thing any of us have seen.

Here are the adventurer’s themselves:

And finally, Eli checking out the meerkats. The meerkat exhibit is by far the most popular destination at the Nashville Zoo. They’re right near the entrance, and, without fail, every time you walk in you will see 200 kids with faces plastered up against the glass peering in at 200 meerkats running around, burrowing, and wrestling each other, all the while wondering why 200 kids are peering in at them.
