A trip to the Memphis zoo

About a month ago Elem and I took a weekend trip to memphis to spend some time with Memaw and Papaw. It has been nearly impossible to find time to do anything but take care of Elem, and study. So squeezing in a trip to Memphis was almost out of the picture-even though we want to see my family more. Elem has been begging to see his Memaw and Papaw and go to "menthis" for quite some time, so I just tried to get as much work done as I could before the weekend and we headed out for the weekend trip. We had a great time and didn't cram too much action into it, but was sure to make a trip to the Memphis Zoo and spend some quality time with the fam.

Here is Elem, Memaw, and Papaw on a beautiful day at the zoo! Love this pic!


Of course you have to spend lots of time eating when on vacation!


Mommy and Elem outside the giraffs-he is a big fan!


memaw and Elem checking out the penguins. Penguins are Elem's most favorite animal in the whole wide world. I mean he has a slight obsession with them and could sit and look at them all da. He saw "Mumble" from Happy Feet :) and was beyond excited to know that the real Mumble was at the Memphis Zoo. hehehe.


Checkin out those giraffs.


We had such a great weekend and Elem had so much fun. he loved going to the zoo and playing at memaw's house and getting lots of love and spoiled. I even was able to squeeze in a short trip to the library while my mom took Elem to this place with pizza and games. He had so much fun. We are so glad that we made the trip and so lucky to have family close by!
