Memphis

At James' sister Cheryl's suggestion, we took the kids and all went to Memphis to surprise James' dad, Mark, on his birthday. Mark was truly shocked to see us all there, and we had a great time together.

We arrived Friday night and took in some of the sights, including the Peabody ducks...

the Redbirds' stadium...

... and the Mississippi riverfront.

Saturday morning, we met everyone at Cracker Barrel to surprise Mark, then informed him he was taking all of us to the zoo! I could post dozens of pictures from the Memphis Zoo, but it's better that you see it for yourself! Still, here are a select few.

The party crowd...
