Red, White, & Zoo

The first half of the 3rd, we went to the Red, White, & Zoo event at Grassmere with Leslie and Sutton. We didn't do much "zooing" since we can do that anytime and we had a long day ahead of us. They had the event field set up with a hot dog buffet (chips, beans, slaw, cookies, drinks- the works), hula hoops, bean bag toss, toddler horse shoes, bouncy houses, face painting, pie-eating contests.... lots of fun stuff!! The kids had a loads of fun, but were definitely in dire need of a nap before taking on the second half of the day!!

Lunch time!






Cheater :)



They wanted to do the slides OVER AND OVER AND OVER...


She's getting good! It's probably a lot easier when your hula hoop isn't bent in three places like ours is at home.






And Cale's picture was in the Tennessean!
