Atlanta Zoo (Part 2)

We went to lunch at a little picnic area near the wetlands. We heard lots of comments throughout the day about our matching shirts. People asked if we'd been to the Tennessee Aquarium (ya think?), and some thought it was neet that we all matched. We took this photo (well actually, someone else did, as you might have guessed) while we were in the picnic area.


Junior was a climbing maniac in the picnic area. Here is a photo of him on another rock. He liked using it as a step stool to the railing beyond him. It was nice to let him run free for a while.



Syndi put her tiger mask on Stephen. I'd like to say he's mimicking a tiger with his claws out and growling, but I believe this was more of a desperate reach for help and a cry of "who turned out the lights?"

Stephen left the mask on for a moment, then quickly removed it. Cutie Pie!

Here is Grandma with three of her favorite things: her grandaughter Syndi, her grandson Junior, and her map of the Atlanta Zoo. Grandma always has to have her map. She is a master navigator. (Did I mention they got lost following us to the zoo?)
Grandpa just hanging out, looking cool, enjoying lunch.
Some of the GRACE homeschool folks joined us for lunch.
After lunch we went to the carousel. There we took a family photo. Syndi likes taking family photos. Junior doesn't. Can you tell?Then we enjoyed a ride on the train, which looped around part of the park. Syndi made friends with some other girls facing rearward on the caboose. Stephen and Junior looked in wonder as we passed different exhibits. They like trains.

Part 3 will have our trip through the African exhibits, but there was some disappointment on our part.
