| Kids at Petting Zoo |
Friday afternoon at 12:00 P.M. my daughter called, said she and the kids were going to Grassmere Zoo in Nashville and ask if I wanted to go with them.
She came to pick me up and we rode to Nashville, Santana was with them.
At the zoo, I had my camera with me, so I was taking pictures while my grandson was pushing his little sister in her wheelchair.
We went to the Grassmere Zoo at 3777 Nolensville Road Nashville, Tn 37211 615-833-1534.
In the Savannah loop, we saw three African Elephants, giraffes bending down to eat grass, red river hogs, we walked inside the birdhouse at Lorikeet Landing to pet the parrots and to pet the farm animals.

In the Central zoo, we saw the beautiful blue Macaw, we saw gibbons at gibbon island, we saw the dens of the meerkats, we visited the seahorses, many other reptiles, and fish at the Unseen New World.
The kids climbed inside the glass that leads into the middle of the meerkat's dens to get an up-close view of the meerkats.
The kids stopped to play on the jungle gym and we watched a bird show at the amphitheater

We left Grassmere Zoo rode down I-40 to Opry Mills Mall which took about twelve minutes it was a little over eight miles.
We were all very hungry my daughter parked near the entrance of the Rainforest Cafe at Opry Mills.
We were seated in the Tuki section with the amusing and curious baby elephant which my granddaughter loved, she was mimicking the elephant.

My daughter and I split a portabella wrap with tomato basil wrap layered, rolled with spinach, red onions, roasted red peppers, grilled portabella mushrooms, tossed in roster garlic balsamic dressing.
We all shared an awesome appetizer adventure, the idea of two or more featuring Chimi-Cha-Chas, Spinach, & artichoke dip, with tri-color chips, cheese sticks, chicken tenders, served with fresh guacamole, marinara, and coconut curry sauce and for dessert, we ordered an out-of-this-world Sparkling Volcano.
