Memphis - Day 3

Here come the ducks!  The boys are sitting with all of the children on the other side of the fountain.

The boys are checking out the ducks before coming back to us. 

 

 

The boys needed some down time, and Daddy wanted to check out the audio tour of Elwood Cemetery. 

The boys really wanted to head back to the zoo this afternoon to check out the few things that we missed.  First stop, the reptile house!

The boys sure enjoyed checking out all of the snakes.

 

Parker was VERY adamant that we check out the Pandas.  He loves pandas!

  

Can you tell who is who?

Memphis - Day 2

Today, we hit up the Memphis Zoo with the Cea's.  He are so excited!

Lions

Panther

Musical Instruments

The boys loved the elephant show.

We also liked the sea lion show.

Everyone in!

We're starting to melt.

What a day!  It ended with tornado warnings coming through where we were staying.  They don't have basements in Memphis, so we ended up spending some time on the living room floor.  As you can tell, it didn't phase us!

Memphis - Shelby Farms Park

 

This morning, we hit up Shelby Farms Park.  The kids loved these balance swings.  If they bounced, it moved their brothers!  It was great.  Mom and Dad might have gotten on a little bit as well!

  

Miles and miles of spiderwebs!  The kids (and Daddy) climbed all over this!

Parker enjoying the "nest" swing.

I'm sure this place looks a lot different in the summer.  It has several parks and they have this arbor fencing around each with "tunnels" that lead to each of the other parks.  It would be really cool to come back and see it all grown over.

 

This afternoon, we came back to the Cea's house and played with their big dog, Bond.

We also got some trampoline time in before dinner.

Memphis Bound!

Last night, we drove to St. Louis.  This morning we are hitting up one of Daddy's favorite places to buy games online.  Of course, he ordered a whole box of games for us to pick up.

Parker LOVES Bob Evans!

Now entering Arkansas.

Finally driving into Tennessee.

There has been a lot of rain fall here lately that has causes a lot of flooding.

We made it!  This is going to be a great Spring Break.
