This past weekend we went to Memphis to spend time with John's family. The Quinns had been dying to take Curran to the zoo, so off we went Saturday morning. I had never been to the Memphis Zoo before but knew it was supposed to be great, and it did not disappoint! It is a very beautiful zoo, and a sign said it is ranked #1 in the country. But lawdy, it was HOT! We probably didn't even see half of what was there, so we'll go back another time when it cools down some.
C was excited to be at the zoo with Nana and Pop!
Checking out some animals with Uncle Robert and Pop.

The house where the pandas live
I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to seeing them.

The polar bears were so fun to watch, and the best part- the exhibit was air-conditioned! I could have stayed in there all day. :)

I looked like a drowned rat.
C fell asleep as soon as we got in the car!
Then that night {after a four hour nap}, we went over to John's aunt and uncle's house to swim. Of course C had a blast, and she loved seeing the only other girl in the entire Quinn family- John's cousin Chloie.
On Sunday we ate lunch at Central BBQ before getting on the road to come home.
It was a quick trip, but we had a great time and look forward to our next visit!

The caption on that first picture could be "walking in Memphis." Haha. I like the family picture, C is totally posing! Yeah, true on the snack thing, and I have found if I bring a sippy cup with water that usually helps, because he gets thirsty after school.
