Yesterday morning the girls and I drove to Memphis and picked up Mark's parents from the airport and then we head to the zoo for a day of fun. The girls were so excited- they were awake at about 6am, ready to go!
We had a little trouble getting to each place... I took a wrong turn getting into the airport and then our Google directions from the airport to the zoo left off the last two turns. But once we finally arrived at the zoo we had tons of fun! Heidi meet us there with Nicki and Taylor and we set out to see animals.
We saw elephants, lions, tigers, zebra, panda bears even got to go into a butterfly exhibit where the beautiful butterflies were flying all around us. The only downside was that it was so HOT out and very humid, but we were having fun so we just sweat and drank as much water as we could. Then after we were inside watching the polar bears and before we made it to the meercats, a storm blew in. A big storm with lots of rain, lots and lots! We thought we could wait it out but we didn't have the patience and after sticking it out for awhile we finally gave in and ran to the van. We were soaked! The girls were so wet I just stripped them down as we jumped in. They thought that was really funny.
It was okay though we got to see lots of animals and we have a zoo pass now so we can go back when ever we want and we had grandparents to bring home for lots more fun times!

Great pictures. The kids do look like they have a pink glow about them...must have been hot. Panda bear looks neat, we didn't want to pay more at the Chiang Mai zoo to see the panda there...cheap Ms...we got into the zoo for about 3 dollars and only had to pay for adults. :)
