Memphis trip

The weekend before Easter we headed to Memphis to see Gran, Daddy Day, Aunt Maggie and Great-Uncle Tete. The whole week before all the twins could talk about was who they were going to see and how they couldn't wait to go to the zoo and see the Elephants! SO Saturday we woke up to a chilly/windy morning, but it wasn't enough to keep us away from the zoo...we just bundled up and headed out the door! I think the cooler weather kept a lot of people away, and it also kept a lot of animals cuddled up sleeping!! We had a great time! We didn't take a stroller so we were all worn out walking that ginormous zoo! If you haven't been you need to go! It is worth the trip for sure!! We went to the sea lion show which was cute...a much smaller version of a sea world show. The animals did tricks and splashed the front row so it was cute!


Of the favorites were the giraffes, elephants and monkeys! And somewhere between the giraffes and the monkeys we lost Sara Beth's pink bow! I went back looking for it, but we decided the giraffe ate it...she was sitting on her daddy's shoulders almost eye level with one of the giraffes and that is the last picture with a bow!! Oh well!!



The barnyard was so much fun...they saw sheep, goats, chickens, cows, pigs and even a donkey! When they saw the donkey they yelled "look mommy it's just like Mary and Joseph's donkey!" So sweet! This goat got close enough to pet!!

Aunt Maggie and Daddy Day read a few new bedtime stories(from Gran and Daddy Day) before they crashed after their long day!



We weren't too sure of the sleeping situation since we have officially outgrown pack-n-plays...they ended up sleeping together in a "big bed"! We couldn't believe it. Now it wasn't the best sleep, "he stole my covers" or "she kicked me"woke us all up a few times!...you know how it goes, but there is a first time for everything! Look at those sweet sleeping faces!!
