A Trip to the Nashville Zoo

Hunter and I watching the giraffes.
Mackenzie loved seeing everything going on.
My little conductor.
Hunter and Adam after their ride on the train.
Hunter was ecstatic about his ride on the train.
Adam had the day off from work today and suggested that we go do something special. He had mentioned going to either the water park or the Nashville Zoo. We decided on the zoo due to being worried about whether or not the water would be warm enough. (Hunter gets cold really quickly and then is ready to leave.)
When we arrived, Hunter's eye was caught by a sign that had a picture of a train on it. He also wanted to control of the map. He was puzzled by the fact that the map didn't have the train on it. (It is a new attraction.) As we made our way around the Zoo, he kept asking when were we going to get to the train. Luckily, we came upon it rather quickly. After his ride, he was grinning ear to ear.
We had a good time going from animal to animal. I'm like to linger and watch the animals. Hunter takes one look at the animal and then starts walking. He would get so excited about seeing the animal and then after one glance, he would say, "Ok, what next?" I think he gets this from his dad.
Adam had a good time. It is the first time he has been to a zoo with us. We have been several times, but he always is working. It was great to spend the day together.
