Tennessee Trip, Part II

After we visited the Nasville Zoo, we drove down to Taft, TN to visit Granny Taft. A farm is a very interesting place for a kid!

Checking out the tractor with Papa.

"Move out of my way, I'm backing her up!"

The classic Crete wave. "Hi Mama. Hi."

Time with Granny and Gaga. (Pronounced like Dada, but with a G. He can say Dada, or Daddy, or whatever he wants, but we think Gaga is sweet because it's what he said first, so we reinforce it.)

So sweet.

Crete loves a good helmet.

Thanks for the wonderful trip, Papa and Granny, and we'll see you soon!

Tennessee Summer '09

We made a quick, but lovely, trip to Tennessee last weekend. Crete's Papa was ready when we arrived at his house with plenty of sports equipment for Crete to play with.

Crete thought his tee was good for hitting soccer balls as well as baseballs. Why not, right?

On Saturday, we visited the Nashville Zoo. It was a perfect size for a short trip and we all really liked seeing the animals. It was a really hot day, though, so Crete got tired of walking pretty quickly and had to be carried or strolled.

Crete picked the chimpanzee to ride on the carousel. He was excited at first.

And then he got a little nervous.

And the next time around he was in his Papa's arms.

Stopping to smell the roses.

Looking at the animals with Gaga.

Crete's favorites. The elephants.

Stay tuned for Part II of our trip to Tennessee!
