zoo

It's been years since we took the children to the zoo. That doesn't matter a whole lot to the older ones, but poor Dennis! He needed to know what zebras and tigers and elephants look like :) We chose the Nashville Zoo and had a gorgeous fall day to leisurely stroll through it.

 

 

 

 

 

One part of the zoo is a historical homestead. We enjoyed seeing their gardens and slave quarters

and reading the stories along the way.

 

 

 

And as always....being together is most important....

 

 

 

 

Fall, 2013

 

Isn't fall a lovely time of year? If only it wasn't a harbinger of cold and dreary winter days. :(

Here's a few pictures Damaris took of our fall activities and scenery.

 

The boys did a lot of target practice with their BB guns. Teddy is almost always shadowing them when they shoot
because he LOVES to hunt sparrows.

Here's our neighborly milk cow

end of season tomato vines...

This is Nate in his ultra light almost skimming our tree tops.

hunting persimmons...

the reward of the hunt...
