Nashville Zoo

Saturday morning Baylee and I met some friends at zoo. The Nashville Zoo has a the largest community built playground in the U.S. with 66,000 square feet of kid friendly fun. Our first stop was of course the play area. I think we spent over an hour here.

RJ and Ray RayBaylee and I found the swings and again...I didn't think I was going to get her off!pure happiness!Oh and btw...that smudge on the side of her face in ALL of the pictures is Nutrigrain bar. It never occurred to me to wipe it off since it would show up in ALL of the pictures. GEESH!After burning all of the kids out on the playground we packed all 7 into the strollers and headed off. Not a great picture of me but Baylee sure smiled when the camera was pointed her way...little turkey!Audrey and Henry. Audrey and I work together. She has 3 boys. Connor is 2 1/2 and the twins Jack and Henry are 16 months old. I have a new found respect for parents with mulitiples. ESPECIALLY those with mulitples AND toddlers!

I guess when we go to Louisiana for Easter weekend we better steer clear of all lakes. We don't want to come up on an alligator and Baylee think its ok to climb on it ;)

It didn't take long for Baylee to doze off in her stroller. When we made it to the petting zoo all of the kids went in but I kept Baylee in her stroller. I knew it wouldn't be long before she conked out.

5 minutes later....This next picture REALLY makes me laugh. According to Ray and Alison RJ is dead weight when they carries him...meaning he does not wrap his legs around nor does he hold on with his arms. Ray decided to put him in the jeep carrier and this is what he looked like Baylee fell asleep so early into it that she missed seeing the TIGERS. Maybe next time.RJ and his Mommy taking a picture in front of the TigersWe had a GREAT day at the zoo and I look forward to going back soon.
