Our perfect Saturday

This is the first Saturday we have in Memphis without plans.  We decided that since the weather has been so perfect, that it would be nice to take the girls to the zoo.  We had not been to the string ray bay yet, and wanted to make it before the exhibit closes.  Some friends of ours decided to join us.  It was perfect.  The temperature was great, the sky was overcast, and it was surprisingly not crowded!

She finally caught one.  They were so pretty!

Watching the show.

I think she was a little unsure of what to do with the bird.

 We ended our zoo trip at sting ray bay.  Anna Claire just loved touching the water, Amelia was terrified of the sting ray, and Drew and I fed them.  It was strange, felt like a catfish trying to get your hand.  I didn't know what to expect their mouths to look like. 

After the zoo, we headed to Memphis pizza café.  It was yummy!  We were really close to nap time though, so it was pretty much just in and out.  Once we made it home, we all crashed.  I think the busy week had caught up with all of us.  We woke up and grilled out.  While we were waiting for dinner, we heard the ice cream man, and ran to the front to catch him.  We grabbed an after dinner treat.  The ice cream man didn't come to Greenville.  It was so exciting for me to see the ice cream man in our neighborhood.   So far, we love our house and our neighborhood!
