Z is for Zoo

Today was zoo day for the Tyners, Rhotons, and Millers. The stars were aligned and all three guys were off work today, so we had to plan something. Will and Elin came along too, but the low battery light on my camera came on about 10 minutes in the front gate. Typical. But we had a great time.

Our new favorite thing

Drinking coffee on the porch in the morning.

7566 Miles (to be exact)

Jack asked us how far away the desert is where Poppy is camping. Poppy sent us this picture taken from right outside his camp. Mileage to Pensacola, of course.

Mail from Knoxville to Afghanistan

Dear Poppy,
I hope you have a great trip today. I hope the snakes don't get you and have a great morning and night. I'm giving you a great big kiss from me. Give your friends a big hug for me. Be careful because the camels might bite you. Don't let the camels spit on you. The desert is a long way from Knoxville and Pensacola. I played at Hudson's and I goed to church, and learned in my class, and I hope I have good dreams, and I hope you have good dreams too. And a good breakfast. Have a safe trip and sleep good today.
I love you Poppy! I love you so much.
Jack

The one that didn't get away

Jack may be the new best fisherman in our house.
