We slept like ants on a birch leaf. (If you have no idea how that happens, go out to nature and observe, it is fascinating!) Probably because some of us didn't really have their daily naps and others did something else that exhausted them. Regardless, the day was reserved for a zoo (http://www.knoxville-zoo.org), which happened a bit spontaneously. Emily tapped her magic wand and came up with a great deal for the tickets. Wilmer finally had his chance to see all the animals live from the Madagascar movies. Let me tell you, his eyes strecthed to new dimensions after just the giraffes, elephants, and zebras that we saw first.
W, as we ironically call our house president, also made friends with Turner and Elle Kate quite fast. They had been sharing the toys already the night before and were running together around the zoo in no time, like they had known each other for all their short years. Turner was the the big boy who kept the younger ones in line. Elle Kate and Wilmer, however, hit if off and toys and snacks were shared, hugs and kisses exchanged, rides taken together, and finally on the way back hands held in the car. Reminded me of my courtship with my dear wife...- - - - - - - -
The rest of the day kind of disappeared with eating, shopping, napping, soccer, couch tennis, baseball, and grilling with the kids. The night was capped off with some NBA playoffs, computer surfing, and securing Andrew's wireless access. All you hackers, come and try us now! (Says Andrew).
