It was time for that "Nana Fix" again so... Ava and I packed up for the weekend and made a bee line for Memphis.
We had a super fun visit. We were able to get in a visit to the ZOO! Ava loves the zoo and really enjoyed spending such a fun day with Nana. The zoo is really nice and it was very friendly. The zookeepers were out talking about the animals and doing some feedings.
Here we are learning more about giraffes...
Ava and Nana were looking for some sleeping animals...
Ava thinking about joining the rhino??
Then we found a really neat little nook to observe the penquins.
We learned a little about wolves and coyotes... they even like pumpkins!
Of course, we can't pass a carousel...By the look on her face I think you can tell that it's totally worth the stop :)
We were able to see a few shows...but I think Ava's favorite part was watching the PANDAS! The panda was in a glass enclosure with a vet, apparently having a little blood drawn. Rumor was that they are trying to add to the panda family... We were at the opposite end in front of some bamboo. When the panda came away from the vet, she came right over to the bamboo where we were and sat down for a snack. We had the most perfect view. The panda sat down and peeled that bamboo like it was a banana. Ava was so excited!
AND... Ava was ready for those pandas. All day she kept saying "When I see the panda I can show him the panda on my shirt"...and she did!
We found a farm set up in the zoo that had a little train, so we went for a ride.
What a lucky girl, she got to ride A LOT of things at the zoo...even Mommy's shoulders :)
This sure was a fun trip, might be hard to top next time!
