Plan B-For Birmingham

A couple weeks ago we were so excited because we were meeting Amanda, Ron and "baby" Hayden (our good friends from Cheyenne) in Nashville. It's a long story as to why we were meeting them there, but we were thrilled. We planned on dining out somewhere cool and trendy and then sharing a hotel where we planned on staying up late catching up on lost time, playing games and reminiscing. Well, mother nature had other ideas and their plane was delayed just enough that things didn't work out. Amanda and I were both trying not to cry over the phone, but we figured it was out of our hands and just wasn't meant to be. Still a bummer, though. Anyway, when we got the phone call from them we were about half way to Nashville, in Birmingham, so we decided to do something fun anyway and went to the zoo. Nolan was ecstatic and had a blast. We're still so sad we didn't get to see the Hubbard's, but now Brian and I are even more determined to make a trip to good old Cheyenne! Here's a glimpse at our afternoon at the zoo.

Brushing the goats:Feeding the birds. This was one of the highlights to Nolan's day.

I love the look on Brian's face, like "Am I really doing this?" Luckily I still had the camera when I went down the slide! The play ground was really cool, Nolan loved it, of course!The waterfall (with turtles swimming behind us):And last but not least, the camel ride. When Nolan kept asking if he could ride, we agreed. He loved it!! We let him pick who rode with him and he chose Daddy, as you can see. But he waved at me the whole time and it was soooo sweet. You can see in the pic, his little hand waving at his momma!
