Nashville Zoo

Today I woke up and it was so beautiful outside I knew we had to do something to take advantage of it. We've gone to the park quite a bit recently so that wasn't going to cut it. Finally I decided in a moment of spontaneity to pack up the girls and the wagon and drive up to the Nashville Zoo. I remember before I had Teya when I would drive to work on a beautiful day, I would be so jealous of the people who didn't have to work who could actually go out and take advantage of the nice weather. Since I've become a stay at home mom I'll admit there have been times when I've missed teaching, but then I get to have days like today, and I remember that I'm pretty darn lucky to be able to wake up and decide on a whim to hit a cool place like the zoo!

It was really cute when we got there and started seeing all the animals, Teya suddenly turned to me with excitement and said, "Diego here!" For those unfamiliar with Nick Jr., Diego is Dora the Explorer's cousin who happens to be an animal rescuer. I guess all the animals made Teya think we were in Diego's world. : )

Anyhow, after many awesome exhibits, a carousel ride, and a trip to the jungle gym playground, the girls were quite tuckered out and so was I from pulling those two in the wagon up the steep hills and winding paths of the 200 acre zoo. : ) All in all I'd say we did a pretty good job of taking advantage of a beautiful day!
