hot- adj. 1. being at a high temperature 2. very good or impressive

So it was about 95 plus degrees today with very little breeze- what better time to take 2 girls to the zoo?!?! Probably not the best idea, but we made it work.

I've been to several zoos- Dallas, Fort Worth, San Diego, Washington DC, Abilene (yes, Abilene has a zoo). Out of them all, the Nashville Zoo ranks pretty low. There is a lot of walking and not a lot of animals. It seems like we would walk forever to see the meerkat exhibit, then walk forever to see a toucan. The best thing about it- they have Tim Macaw and Zebra McEntire! ha ha!

Like us, the animals were really tired too- most of them were napping in the shade. Who can blame them?!?!

Does your zoo have these two mammals??? I think it was a limited time only special exhibit. Lucky that I caught them on camera . . .

After some lunch and some down time, we headed to historic Franklin. We passed by Franklin High School where Miley Cyrus filmed part of her new movie- Hannah Montana: The Movie. Very exciting for the girls!

Then, we went to one of our favorite spots- a chocolate shop. It smells completely delicious inside. Deborah and Delancy got a specialty chocolate and Jeremy and I got frozen hot chocolates. Yum! I highly recommend stopping by this store. We walked down the streets and stopped in a few cute stores.

Next, it was Ivy’s turn for a treat. The dog park!!! There were no other dogs, but luckily Ivy had 5 people ready to entertain her. She had a great time and we had a great time watching! Click here for the rest of our pics from today!
