it's another gorgeous day here, and we decided to go to the nature center to "see animals" that adella has been asking for all week. we met our buddies kim and elijah, and jessie and noah up there, and had a big fun time. adella was so excited to see the animals (even thoug it is the 100th time we've been this year). she was running at full speed through the whole park, pointing at things for me to take pictures of ("pit-ture chic-ken, mommy!") we ran a quick errand on the way home, and before long she was passed out in the backseat. hopefully she will take a nice long nap now. so far it's been about an hour. i've been loosely planning a trip to the knoxville zoo for sometime in the near future. once the weather stays consistently warm and we don't run the risk of a surprise snowstorm, stig is going to take a day off work so we can all take a day trip to the zoo. i've heard that knoxville has a really nice big zoo, and i know adella will love it! also coming up soon (i hope) is a trip to atlanta's new aquarium, which is supposed to be the largest in the world!! so much for a nice long nap. i hear little footsteps upstairs. i have pictures to post when i get a few minutes later - bye!
