We're Going to the Zoo,Zoo, Zoo

Snapdragon is telling me the panda is from China like "me".

Which came first, the children or the egg?

We went to the Memphis Zoo for the first time today and it was beautiful. (Thanks for the Christmas present Mom and Dad.) We became members of the zoo because it is only about a 15 minute drive from our home. The zoo has an Egyptian theme at the entrance to honor the name of the city of Memphis. The city is named after the ancient capital of Egypt, Memphis, that was located on the Nile River.

Our favorite exhibit was, of course, the Giant Pandas. Their names are Ya-Ya and Le-Le. We have seen the panda exhibits at the National Zoo in D.C., the San Diego Zoo, and in Guangzhou, China. The Memphis Zoo has the best exhibit, hands down. It was wonderful.

Buttercup took some wonderful animal photos today. I will upload some later. She took her camera fishing with her. She and Lou are fishing one last time before we head back to Cincy tomorrow. We had a great week and can't wait to move here officially in June. 7 more weeks!

Snapdragon is sound asleep.... exhausted from our zoo trip! I know we will have some great outings at the zoo. They have a wonderful picnic area with a playground for the children and the farm area is a great place for them.
