Knoxville Zoo

Last weekend we took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed to the Knoxville Zoo! Last summer we bought a membership to the zoo so we have been several times since then and hope to go more often now that the weather is getting warmer! 

Owen LOVES elephants! He sleeps with a huge stuffed elephant and has at least 3 other elephants he plays with.  The elephant exhibit is really nice at the Knoxville zoo and we usually head straight to see them.  

This time the elephants were in their "house" when we first got to the zoo so we went in to get a look. Owen wouldn't let go of Justin or lift his head up to see the elephants in their "house".  I think he is just so excited or maybe a little scared that they are so close.  So...this is what he did the entire time we were in there!

My attempt to get a picture of the kids together...

The female lions put on a show for us!! They were growing and fighting right in front of us! People came running to see what the fuss was about! 

The elephants finally came out of their "house"!

 I think Owen could stay there all day and watch the elephants!

Grace Ann enjoyed the afternoon at the zoo also!
