Our family spent yesterday evening at the Nashville Zoo for it's annual member appreciation day. The zoo reopened at 6pm for all its member (wasn't that crowded at all) and remained open till 8pm. They had free carousel rides, train rides, face painting and bounce houses and of course most of the animal exhibits were open to visit.
Before we enjoyed our picnic dinner, the kids and Daddy rode the carousel:
My favorite was, once again, the kangaroo exhibit, where you are allowed to pet the kangaroos that jump onto the walkway. Amelia even assisted the zoo staff to have the kangaroo perform a trick.
But the best selfie of the day was from this goat in the petting area. She couldn't get enough of me or the phone and when I put the phone away, she tried to eat my shirt.
Elliot for sure liked touching this Honduran Milk Snake. He was mesmerized by it and I just hope he never asks me for a pet snake.
Our princess is riding in style:
The kids burned the last of their energy by jumping in the bounce house, a quick visit to the jungle gym playground and catching some fireflies on the way to the car.
It was a perfect family outing and even though it has been very hot lately, yesterday evening it was not too bad and we all had a great time. Luckily today we were able to sleep a bit longer as we were all pretty tired after such fun evening at the zoo.
