Zoo Diversion

The girls left for Italy today, and we took the opportunity while in Nashville to visit the zoo (as a fun diversion). The weather was perfect, not too hot or too cool, and no pesky bugs to speak of (other than those on display).


Koa was the navigator with his map that he got at the front gate. He expertly directed us to the exhibits that we promised in our last visit (more than three months ago) to see next time (how can he remember that we didn't hit the frog building in July, but I have to tell him seven times within a 3 second span to stop bugging Kawelo?).


We spent a lot of time looking at amphibians, spiders, and snakes (every little boys dream)...


and petting goats, and playing on the "jungle" gym (a nice concept, but every parents nightmare - with how big it is, the volume of children playing on it, and how many hiding places there were where an adult-sized person could not crawl into ... lets just say there were more than a few stressed out parents trying to keep track of their little ones).
