we're goin' to the zoo. how about you...

When our kids were little
they used to love to watch
"Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show".


One of their songs, of which there were many,
made its way to the forefront of my mind
last Saturday as we prepared
to take Hudson to the Knoxville Zoo.


"We're goin' to the zoo...zoo...zoo...
How about you...you...you?"


We sang and bounced and sang and bounced...
all the way to the zoo!

Here's the little man about the enter the zoo... 

I think he was feeling a little overwhelmed.

We saw this white alligator.

It looked like it was made of wax...kinda creepy!!

Not really sure about looking up for the red panda...

the creatures running around outside the cages

were pretty darn fascinating!

Oh...there's that red panda!

We found "Elephant"...

but, Sharon, Lois and Bram were hiding from us!

He made it through with flying colors!

It's official...he's decided to help mind the zoo...

...after he rests up, that is.

We're tuckered from the zoo...zoo...zoo...

Whew!
