A Trip to the Zoo

It was Luke's first trip to the Zoo (as well as Mommy and Daddy's first trip). I am embarassed to say that we've lived in Knoxville for 8 years now and we'd never been to the Knoxville Zoo. Of course - now we have a very good reason to go. And Luke loved it. He had such a good time watching all the people and the animals. His favorite part was the Bird Show where there were hawks and owls flying around over our heads.

Here are some pictures from the fun day....

Check out his shirt... I picked it out special for wearing to the Zoo. It says "Lion and Friends"


Here he is watching the prairie dogs....




Here we are in front of the camels... (ignore the bad expressions and bad hair day)...
You can see him holding the stuffed Prairie Dog we just bought him.


Giraffes!


Zebras!


Of course Greg had to get their picture made in front of this Range Rover... (correction - It is not a Range Rover - Greg says it is an old LAND Rover, excuse me!!!)


And my personal favorite... the adorable Meer Kats! If Greg would have let me, I would've grabbed one and brought him home with me.
They were such hams for the cameras....






I love this picture... I took it of Ben and Cindy's triplets as they are watching the gorilla...


Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty....


Zoom is a wonderful thing...


I love this gorgeous snow leopard, but I hate that it's behind a chain-link fence....


Here's Luke watching the Bird Show....






All in all, it was a great day!! The first trip to the Zoo was a success!!
