We had a weekend full of animal encounters! On Saturday morning, our local library hosted a animal education program featuring a "petting zoo" (not really) with iguanas, snakes, a tarantula, a chinchilla and various rabbits. Basically, an animal educator takes a bunch of different animals out, talks about each one and then - if they're not too scary or wiggly like a snake - lets the kids hold them in their laps or pet them. Shelby was interested in the animals but didn't like them to get to close.
The weather was gorgeous on Sunday morning, so we headed out to Zoo Atlanta to take advantage of our membership. The cooler temperatures meant that a lot of the animals were out and about - we were able to see the tigers and pandas up close! They lounged and played right next to the glass viewing area. It was great! I could watch pandas all day. We had lunch there and then headed home so Shelby could take a nap.

It was a busy weekend - we also had a pizza party at the pool on Friday night to celebrate back to school and Papa and Glee came over on Saturday night to go out to dinner. We had barbecue and then hit the Tucker Cruise In on the way home - we've managed to catch all three cruise ins they've had this summer and it's always fun to wander around downtown when the roads are closed to traffic and the crowds are out. We of course had to stop for a cupcake!
