Memphis Zoo

This last weekend was Mother's Day. The one thing I've been wanting to do since I've gotten back from California was to take Jackson to the Zoo. My friend Lindsey and I wanted to go together, but we couldn't think of a better weekend to do it. We chose Mother's Day weekend, well to be honest, it was better for the hubby's schedules! LOL
This Zoo was great! They had lots of animals and the one thing that was awesome was that they have day rooms for the animal that aren't in their exhibits. So if they don't feel like coming out, you can see them in their rooms. The Panda Bears weren't in the exhibit, so we got to see them sleeping in their rooms. We also got to see baby Giraffe, a pregnant Elephant and a 1 week old monkey nursing off of it's mommy. I also got to see an Armadillo alive! I've been wanting to see one ever since we've moved here, but they are always dead! LOL
Here is an actual family photo! This is a rear sighting so please enjoy!
A Silver Back. This guy was funny and giving a pretty good show.
Tigers! Jackson loved these guys, they were pretty close!
The main entrance. It really was a pretty zoo.
Jeff & Jackson riding on the choo, choo!
Do you see a resemblance?
Here is the Mommy monkey nursing here baby. This was so sweet and my favorite animals are the monkeys. I could have stood there all day watching her handle her baby. I think I should work at the Zoo.
Jackson & I on the carousel, this picture reminds me of the Jackson, MS state fair picture! I should totally do a before and after! He loves these things!
All in all, we had a great day with our little family and the Stimets family. We ended our day with dinner and relaxing. I did get great gift for Mother's Day, but I will post it when it's all complete! I am still waiting for one more thing in the mail and Jeff needs to put it all together!

Such a cute picture of Jackson on the carousel! (I saw your comment on our blog! Thanks! I think we met a couple weeks ago while we were out walking our puppy, Winston. And I must admit I've been reading your blog for awhile thru Anne's!) :)
