Nashville Zoo @ Grassmere

On Thursday, July 15th, I took the twins to the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. Bonnie, Ava and Sean Ferguson also went with us. It was extremely hot. I took my cooler filled with juice boxes to help keep everyone hydrated. The heat did not seem to slow the kids down at all. It seemed to be worse on the adults than the kids. The kids all had a great time. We are looking forward to making this trip again next year.

Storytime - July 14, 2010

Our Visit With Leo & Una

On Friday, July 9th, I took the twins to see the lions at UNA. I have a friend who works at the university. Unfortunatly it was raining when we arrived. So she took us into the back area of the habitat. We were up close and personal with the lions. We were told when we got inside that Leo might try to scare us. He likes to do this as a joke to people. I was taking a picture of him and he lunged toward me. I almost fell backwards. I know that he is in a cage, but that doesn't change my fear of him eating me. It is a really nice place they have set up for the lions. Leo and Una are brother and sister. They have been at the university since they were six weeks old. They seem to be very content with their home. I really appreciate Missy doing this for the twins. They have been watching Disney's The Lion King. So they loved this trip to see the lions.
