Nashville Trip

We decided to take a short day trip to Nashville on Saturday for fun. We went to the Nashville Zoo. It was a lot of fun. Ben was very excited to see the animals. On the way up he was talking about seeing the "chomp chomps" which is what he calls alligators. I am so glad that they had alligators! We enjoyed walking around the zoo and having lunch. We also LOVED the playground they had there. It is the best playground! Ben had a blast playing. We even had our celebrity encounter at the playground. Ben played with Paula Deen's grandson, Jack. Yep that is right they played together. We were sitting while Ben was playing and we look over and see Jaime and Bobby Deen with Jaime's wife Brooke and son Jack. So Ben and Jack start jumping together and playing. They played for about 10 minutes. We talked to Jaime during this time but not about anything exciting just about kids and how they were playing. It was funny and very random.

After the zoo we went to a mall to check on some bedding for Baby Girl's room (don't ask about a name - we don't have one!). Then we went to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner. Ben loved seeing all the stuff there as well! And guess who we saw eating dinner. Yep our new friends the Deens!

It was a great fun day!
Here is Ben at the Rainforest Cafe! I dropped the camera and broke it like 30 minutes into the zoo trip so we had to use the iPhone for pictures so there aren't very many and they aren't the best quality!

Here is Ben on the playground. They had this awesome area with just squishy mats for kids to jump on. And since jumping is Ben's favorite thing to do he could have done it for hours. This is where he met Jack Deen. We didn't take a picture of them together which I hate!

Ben's favorite animal!


Checking out the leopards. They were playing with a ball and that is all Ben talked about on the way home. The leopards playing ball!

More alligators!
