Animal Planet Expo

This morning's Animal Planet Expo at the fairgrounds felt like a sauna, but it was completely FREE. We only stood in the pre-opening line for a few minutes, and so many people brought their dogs (we didn't) that the twins were very entertained, esp. Gracie who loves animals. BTW, it travels around the country, but only Memphis and Charleston in the deep south (see link).

Gracie squealed over the kitties that were up for adoption--and even liked the large inflated kitty--but she again disliked the large dressed-up figure, a bear this time. I guess it is genetic, to answer Daddy's question, because Mommy has always disliked dressed-up critters, particularly if their faces are covered.

We stood in line for tattoos, but Chance wanted an airplane instead of an animal. The sweet lady complied. Gracie, on the other hand, did not want the lady to paint on her arm at all!


Chance shows off his muscles. Actually, Mommy took Chance's shirt off because he was getting soooo hot.

Chance, still obsessed with airplanes, wakes from his naps asking to see one.
