Zoo....

Tuesday morning we got up and headed to the Birmingham Zoo with Tripp's Mom, Brantley, Tucker and Taylor Britton. Padyn was excited to see the "animals". We got there right when they opened and saw all sorts of fun animals... favorite were the Giraffes (she ignored the huge lion in front of us and was talking about the giraffes way in the back.) then when we were at the giraffe she spent the whole time saying "come on giraffe" and waving her little hand trying to get them to come... and would you know one came over really close.... she LOVED it.
She also loves the otters just like Ozzy (her otter from the TN aquarium). We petted the goats and talked to the pig and Templeton (the rat). She neighed at the ponys and even road the carousel (which she did not like). All in all so much fun and she really enjoyed it!










Porter LOVED riding the carousel and following Tucker around. I think they both got skinned knees from running too fast.

The kids slept just a little while in the car on the way home and Porter took a short nap when we got back to the house. Padyn just destroyed a pack of wipes in her bed and opened all the ponytail holders and made a huge mess. We packed the car and went back to Brantley's and the kids jumped some more on the trampoline.

We went to a celebration for Tripp's dad and then got in the car at 8:00 and headed home. Porter slept most of the way, Padyn not really at all, but we made it home and got in bed.

What a busy 3 days, but we had so much FUN with family!
