Zoo Fun

If you were wondering when is the best day to go to the Memphis Zoo, it is on the first day of school for Shelby county and the morning after a cold front. We usually don't go to the zoo during the summer- way too hot and horribly crowded (think lots of working parents using Zoo Camp for childcare). But with Monday being the first day of school for county schools the zoo was just about empty. It rained most of Sunday too and brought through a cold front which only means 90 instead of 100 but that 10 degrees sure did make a difference. We even stayed long enough to watch the polar bears being fed. It was a fun day and the kids felt super special about not having to go to school until Friday and nobody cried or whined (well for the most part- I draw the line at $4.oo ice cream).
