Memphis Day 2

Yes, after three months I am finally finishing my Memphis posts.
If you missed Day One's actvities, here is the post.
Friday, October 10:
We woke up Friday morning and went to the Memphis Zoo with Josh, Alicia and the kids. It was a ton of fun watching the kids get excited and tell us everything they knew about all of the animals. Boy are they smart! We got there just in time to watch the sea lion show. Here are some videos from that.  

 

Here are some other pictures of the other zoo animals. As well as the camel that we got to ride on! The zoo is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I love animals.

Hippos, underwater was all we saw of them

After the zoo, we went to one of the best places in the Memphis area to get snowcones! They were delicious, to say the lease, and one of the best I've ever had.

After that we headed back to Josh and Alicia's house to get ready for Emmett's baptism. Their church building is right next to the temple, so they were able to get pictures in front of the temple. It was a great baptism. Isaac and Emmett's grandma Krupp gave talks, there was a cute musical number by Emmett and Melynn, as well as many other great things. The spirit was very strong and it was a very memorable moment for me.

After the baptism, we went back to Josh and Alicia's for cake and ice cream. The ice cream was delicious, a kind that they apparently only sell in the south. YUM!

It was so fun to be able to spend Emmett's birthday with him, and to be there to witness his baptism. He truly is a great young man.
