wild animals at Memphis Zoo

Our last planned destination was the Memphis Zoo.  We were so excited to find out it was a reciprocal zoo of the Waco Zoo, so we got in half-priced.  It is voted one of the best zoos in the country.
The highlights of our days were when the girls were chosen to participate in the bird show and of course seeing the giant pandas.  Boo insisted we make a second visit to the pandas and we were so glad we did b/c the second time they were awake and eating bamboo.
It was a huge zoo and we walked almost five miles over the day.  R2 met a friend at one of the exhibits and he joined us for the remainder of the day.
