Jackson Zoo with the Schmidts


We decided on Labor Day we would take a trip to the Jackson Mississippi Zoo with our friends The Schmidts.  The kids really love to hang out together and it was a beautiful day!

Kristen, Hailey, Johnny, Christopher and Stephen
I thought this was such a cute picture!
Lindsey with her favorite animal (well, after the horse, of course)


It's crazy to think you are THIS close to a tiger.  Hope that glass is nice and thick!




Hailey and Daddy checking out the alligator
Checking out the bears




The otter is checking us out.
I think it's posing now.

Hailey couldn't wait any longer.  Daddy and her went to spend some time with the elephants.  I love this picture!!

Lunch time.  Johnny and Stephen were checking out the map.
Christopher and Lindsey are planning our route.
The pretty little cardinal was begging for food.
Hailey in tears.  She just found out that they are moving these beautiful elephants to Tennessee.  These are the closest elephants to us.  She loves to come to this zoo to see them and she was HEART BROKEN when she heard the news.  

Daddy trying to comfort her.  The rest of the day just wasn't the same for her!


Poor little thing was still pouting!
Little groundhogs! 




Hello!
Petting zoo

Hailey loves this goat.  She always pets it and brushes it.  It took her mind off the elephants for a little while!


Time for some fun on the playground.

Do you see Hailey?  : )

After the zoo when we went check out the Capital Building

Some fun pictures.




Governor Hailey....they spelled her name wrong though.  If she was governor she would have never let those elephants leave!!!
What a fabulous day spent with fabulous friends!!
