Knoxville Zoo

My dad and I took the kids to the zoo today. It was cool (in the upper 50s) and overcast - a perfect day for going to the zoo. And it was empty.

Carter had loads of fun running around. It was easy to keep up with him since there were so few people there. He eventually tuckered out and wanted my dad to carry him around. He crashed hard when we finally got back to the car. We had lots of fun!


Carter loved running around this giant box that is a (pretend) crate for shipping elephants ...


I know ... Crocs with socks ... awful! I haven't bought winter shoes yet!

He also loved this cage (just like he loves to go in Charlotte's crate at home) ...



Carter really liked these new boards that you can put your head through ...



He could actually reach this one on his own ...


Carter has been a little scared of the gibbons the last few times we were at the zoo. The blond one is really social and likes to play by the window. I put my hand up to the glass and showed Carter it was okay and he eventually was willing to give the gibbon a fist bump ...



Rylan slept the entire time so I didn't get any pictures of him. One of these days he'll be more awake when we go out to things like this but I'm not complaining because it makes it a lot easier when he sleeps a lot.
