Efants, Bish & Mingotes

We saw the "Efants" first.

He was so excited!

The "Jaffes" were next.

He actually called them "Jaffes" & not "Junkies" like he used to.

High-five from Jacob. Perhaps for the proper pronunciation? :)

Then, we saw some "Bish."

And my new favorite word: "Mingotes."

The "Mingotes" were cute.

Yesterday, we went to the Nashville Zoo. We met our friends, Erin and Jacob for a playdate. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing; it was really a perfect day for the zoo. Now, having grown up in Houston, TX, this zoo is not a favorite of mine. It pales in comparison to the zoos in TX, where there are tons of animals to see, like lions, bears, hippos, gorillas, etc. This zoo has some of the main animals - "Elephants, Tigers and Be...whoops - no bears." It does have a lot of beautiful *walking* space in between the animals. It is not an ugly zoo by any means.

You would think for a big city, though, that Nashville would have a big, animal-filled zoo. It's Nashville. They are working on it, though, I will give them that. They just added a flamingo section, which the kids love. So, it's getting there. And they host a lot of fun family events. Nonetheless, we became members, because Waylon loves animals. And we love for him to have fun. I loved going to the zoo, as a child, so this will be a great memory for him - as far as toddler memories go. :) I do scrapbook, so whether he remembers or not, he will see that he had fun.
