A trip to the Zoo

Ok so today I had to meet up with Ryan and Michelle for our Girls Camp meeting at the Boody Farm at 10:00 and then after that I came home and picked up Dale and the kids and headed over to the Nashville Zoo. Today they were having some kind of special where when you buy one adult ticket you get one child ticket free. Gotta love those specials. It usually cost us double what we payed today. Anyway it was nice to go again. We have not been in a long time and they had a few new things. Anyway here are the pictures from today. Enjoy.


These are just some random pictures from the day. I really liked this wooden mask that they had on sale but I just couldn't buy it this time. Next time though I am so getting it. It is of a Giraffe if you couldn't guess.

This one is of a Giraffe's skull. Kinda gross but cool at the same time. This on is of a Giraffe's neck bone. kinda cool to see how long it really is. If you have not guessed I totally LOVE Giraffe's. They are so pretty and cool to look at.

This one is of an Elephant skull. The only thing missing is the tusks.

This is DJ being silly at the end of the day. You sit in front of this picture and it looks like you have ears and antlers. Totally funny.

Ok in these pictures we are in a new enclosure for some birds called Lorikeet's. They are really pretty birds and you can buy these cups with nectar in them and the birds will fly onto you and drink the stuff right from your hand. It was the coolest thing ever.

These pictures are of Dale and the kids in the Meerkat enclosure. They were really impressed by this one.These are of us at the Elephant Safari. When you first go in there is this huge wall of pictures and we each took turns standing by the animal we liked best on the wall. Of course I am by the Giraffe. Dale is by the Tiger. Dj is by the monkey and Elyssa is by the cheetah I think.Ok here are some of the animals that we got to see today. I didn't put all of them on here just because it would take forever to load them all so here are the favorites from the Day. This Elephant was playing with that really big stick that you see next to him. It was so cute.

I don't know if you can see it but there is a small alligator in the bottom of the pool. It was cool to see.

This poor little leopard was so cute. As we were standing there looking at him a family with a toddler came in and they put him on the railing by the glass. When the leopard saw him he jumped on top of a piece of tree and started to stalk the little boy. Just when we thought nothing was going to happen the little leopard leaped at the boy and slammed into the glass face first and with full force. He tried again but this time he hit the glass with his paws and when he realized he couldn't get the boy through the glass he tried to bite the glass and then dig under it. It was so cute. He was bound and determined to get that little boy.

In case you couldn't tell these are bores.
