Trip to the Nashville Zoo...

We planned on going to the zoo on Tuesday and we actually even made it up to the front gates but just as we did a huge thunderstorm rolled in and we decided to go to the mall instead. We had a good time walking around the mall but everyone was tired after a while so we went home and James cooked us some tacos for dinner.

We finally made it to the zoo on Wednesday...

It was a pretty warm day out but thankfully the zoo is pretty shaded. I had never been before so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make the trip. For a small zoo they have quite a lot of animals. The animals also have so much space to walk around and be "free" as compared to a lot of the other zoos that I have been to.

We got to see the elephants, my favorite zoo animal!! There were three of them but they must have been hot and tired because they were all huddled around the rock and hiding. There was a place up the trail from this that I got a better picture but this one is with Gwyn so I will have to say that this is the better of the pictures :)

In the bird house the birds actually fly around by you. They were buzzing our heads and some of the little kids were even feeding them nectar.

Gwynie had a great time seeing all the animals and getting pushed like a little princess around the zoo. She was soooo tired by the time we got home though!! She was such a little trooper, I am so impressed that she stayed awake as long as she did.
