Zoo Day

Each year we go to the Nashville Zoo during "Z" week at the preschool. This year the weather was beautiful, in fact it was hot! Alex really enjoyed the animals, he constantly talked about seeing the giraffes from the moment we arrived. We packed our lunches and before leaving the kids played on the giant playground. It was just a good day!

At one point, Alex and my Mom got seperated from me. She took him to see a panda and told Alex what it was and this is what he did (pic below). Mom was cracking up, she wasn't sure why he did this but it was funny (actually I didn't know at the time either what he was doing). So any of you that have seen Kung Fu Panda, does this look familiar? I was told that this is from the movies. We own the movie, but I've never seen it (yet), but Carlos and Alex have and when I told Carlos about this he was laughing as well. Anyways, still not exactly sure what it means, but if you have seen the movie then maybe you will get a laugh out of this as well =) Marisa came with us for the day (she played hooky for the day). I can remember taking her to the zoo when she was Alex's age.

The elephants were carrying big sticks...not sure what else to say about this.

And finally, one of the last stops before calling it a day...the giraffes!!

Chances are we will be back to the zoo again this summer at some point when Carlos can come with us.
