Memorial Day Weekend 2014

Aaand it's been a couple of weeks since my last post instead of just one.  Oops.  At least I have a bunch of photos uploaded into draft posts, ready for the writing.  I'll get caught up.  Eventually.

We visited Dad and Betty over Memorial Day weekend.  They took us to the Knoxville Zoo where Matthew enjoyed a little train ride, rode a camel for the first time, saw an elephant in person for the first time, rode a carousel, and had fun running from one enclosure to the next.

"I'm in the coal car Mommy!"

She's coming round the bend

Wave for the camera

"It was bumpy"

A little video of the camel ride:

Elephants!

Zebra, much closer than we see them in Richmond

Juvenile gorilla if memory serves correct

Carousel. On the bench.

We went to Smokey Mountain Knifeworks and saw some singing country animals.

He's clearly over the shopping experience.

And of course enjoyed (just a little) time on Granddad's Gator.  It's by far his favorite attraction at Dad's, closely followed by all of the "bow wows" and the goats.



It was a really nice visit.  Too short like always.
