My First Trip to the Zoo!

Yesterday we went to the Nashville Zoo!  It was not MY first time (who needs a kid to go to the zoo, right???) but it was the first time for two little ones.  Sofia and her cousin, Cade.

It was so hot for the middle of March, but thank goodness there is so much shade.  If you have not been to our zoo, then you are seriously missing out!  It is beautiful.  There are no cages and what fences there are are very discreat and blend well into the environment.  The animals all look so happy!  Like they are living the good life!  Now, Sofia and Cade are at the age where they are more into the things right in front of them, such as the fences and such, but every now and then something was wonderful enough to grab their attention.  Things like elephants and giraffes!  

 Cade and Holly in front of the monkey's.  They were SO LOUD!  The funny thing was that the babies    were more interested in the water running in front of them than the ridiculously loud monkey's :) Go figure!

                                  If you look really close you can see the monkeys...right on my head :)

                                Waiting patiently to ride on the carousel.  Cade wasn't too sure about it.

Sofia passed out finally after hours without a nap, but only slept about 30 minutes!  Then she was up and ready to go again!  I don't know where girlfriend gets her energy.  


It was a wonderful day with family that is more like a best friend.  It is still hard for me to imagine sometimes that Holly and I are going together places with our babies considering I used to change HER diapers!  It is wonderful though.  I was so happy when we were pregnant together and thinking of how fun it would be to have little one's to grow up together.  I can't imagine anything better!
