This Place is a Zoo

Jude and I took John Patrick to the Nashville Zoo this morning, about 11 a.m. Believe it or not, I had never been to the Zoo. Jude, of course, has a season's pass. It's one of her favorite places to sneak away to with John Patrick. It's about ten minutes away from our house, is rarely crowded and is really kid friendly.

It was gorgeous in Nashville this morning, temperature in the mid-60s, bright blue sky. Apparently, everyone in the city decided it would be a great morning to go to the Zoo, because it was packed with people. We strolled John Patrick in and headed straight for the playground. He loves to swing, so we put him in one of the toddler swings and Jude pushed him, while I stood in front of him and snapped photographs with my camera. He laughed and laughed.

As we left the playground and strolled along, we ran into my cousin, David Clark and his wife, Stacy. They were at the Zoo with the children, Hope and Will. It was great to see them and we had a nice visit.
