Weekend Fun

Friday we decided to spend a few hours at the zoo. The Memphis Zoo is pretty big and was ranked America's #1 Zoo in 2008. We spent the afternoon at "Once Upon A Farm" (a petting zoo). Kinsley seemed to enjoy touching the animals and pointing at them. Eric wants our kids to be bilingual so I would tell her the animals' names in English then Eric would tell her the name in Spanish. I must have learned something in High School Spanish because I remembered the names of nearly all the farm animals!!! But if you ever ask me to conjugate a verb, you will get a blank stare!

Horse- Caballo

Chicken- Gallina

Donkey- Ok, I didn't know that one.

As we were leaving the zoo, we ran into the penguins. As you can tell, Kinsley thought we were still in the petting zoo because she reached out her arms to touch one.
There are a lot of disc golf courses in Mississippi and Eric has been begging me to let him go play with Raymond. I thought I would surprise him for Father's Day and get him a disc golf set but instead he surprised me and went out and bought himself one (grrrr now I have to think of another gift!).

Amy (Raymond's wife), Kinsley, and I will sometimes join Raymond and Eric to watch where their discs land (so they don't lose anymore). Kinsley loves being outside in her stroller and is often seen "relaxing."

Sometimes (OFTEN) their discs will land in the water and they will jump in to try and find them. The water isn't very clean/clear so it usually take a lot of attempts until one is found. At the last course there was a snake as round as my leg so we decided to just leave that one in the water.
