Quick Trip to Memphis

Last weekend, we took a day trip to the Memphis Zoo to enjoy the beautiful weather. We made it just in time for the polar bear feeding. There were so many people at the zoo that the kids had to squeeze through the crowd to get close enough to watch the bears dive underwater for the fish. (No pictures as I did not try to squeeze through the crowd.)

It was far less crowded by the time we made our way to the pandas. They put on a pretty good show for us.

Unlike her brother, Ashley is not all about the zoo. She would much rather be swinging on a nearby railing than watching the animals. She did, however, love this turtle. It seemed to follow her back and forth as she moved along the outside of the exhibit.

Both kids loved anything they could climb on or in.
