Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Monkeys, Zebras ...

On our way to work for the past two days, Jack has pointed out the zoo when we drove by -- a subtle hint that we're past due a trip. That led to two days of quizzes about who lived at the zoo. Wing-wings (penguins), zebras, raffs (giraffes) ... complete with the noises they make.

Memphis is VERY proud of its zoo, and rightly so. It rocks. And works well as bribery for a 2-year-old -- he'll do just about anything with the promise of elephants ahead.


My guys, watching the fish.



Headed to the monkeys, after a stop at the hippos.




Here's proof that Jack is over his great fear of carousels.





Ya Ya, one of the two pandas living at the zoo. She was taking a nap when we came by.
