After Easter we traveled to Memphis to meet up with some NC friends. My good friend Randah was nice enough to let us have their extra hotel room for 2 nights. We were right across from the Peabody which was super cool! When Caleb looked out the window at all the buildings downtown, he said, "Look at all these castles!" We had a great time catching up with the Ferrells, eating good food and visiting the Memphis zoo. We even made is into Mississippi, so Jeremy and I are quite proud of ourselves for covering 3 states (KY, TN, MS) in 4 days with 2 small children in tow. Caleb and Eli both did fairly well traveling, although Eli was back to nursing during the night and Caleb had a couple of pee pee accidents. One of his accidents happened to be on Jeremy and when Carolee saw Jeremy's wet pants she said, "Jeremy needs a pull up!" Ha Ha! Both kids also had major meltdowns our last night. We were eating at Dale's in Mississippi and Eli grabbed a fork and then proceeded to scream bloody murder when I took it away from him. Caleb also had a meltdown after my hundredth time telling him to stop something or another (or was mommy having the meltdown?). In both instances I had to take each child outside for some one on one time. I know they were both just overtired and overstimulated- and probably hungry too, but you can't excuse bad behavior because of that! I think they were both glad to be back home in their own beds the next day after our long Easter weekend trip!
Caleb and Eli were both fast friends with Carolee.
Loving the Memphis zoo!
The pandas were amazing!
Caleb, Carolee and Charles Thomas
Randah and her pink "flamingo" hair! I love this girl!
What a way to take in the zoo!
Caleb became best buds with a pig at the restaurant waiting lobby! This was about 30 minutes before the meltdown!

We need to take our boys to our zoo soon (and before it gets to be 100 degrees here!)
