WOW!!! Chloe and I had a fun filled day today. Who knew an old lady could do so much??? We started the day at the Safari Park near Alamo, TN. If you have never been there, you gotta go! It was great, even with the giraffe in winter storage we saw lots of animals, including a pregnant camel due to deliver just any day, and had so much fun feeding them all. The emus chased us all over the park pecking on the car window for more bread. Chloe squealed everytime! We got to walk around and feed the goats and pigs. They were moving the camels so we watched as one patiently went where she was told and as another kicked up quite a fuss as he didn't want to change pens. Then there was the poor camel that was great with child! She could hardly move. We cannot wait to go back and see her baby! The giraffe will be back in April so we most definitely will be making another trip down the road a bit to see the Safari Park again. Want to join us?
After the drive through the safari, Chloe wanted lunch at the Penne Pasta Store. [Some of you may know this as Old Town Spaghetti Store!] We ate and decided we would go to North Park and play a while. I ran into an old baseball mom friend and we sat and watched our granddaughters play for a couple of hours. Twenty years ago we would have never imagined that one day instead of following boys on the ball field that we would be watching little girls play! Life is so good!
The only downer to our whole day was the Library. We stopped at the North Branch for Chloe to get her first card and check out some books. They refused to let her have one because I was not her mother or her legal guardian. They have to have the PROPER ID to verify addresses. OMG, it's a library card for goodness sakes! Anyway Miss Priss got mad and we left.
We ended the day playing outside and Chloe performing a gymnastic show with me as the announcer. We packed a whole lot of fun into today...Wonder what Day 3 holds for us???
