Friday
Yesterday we had to say goodbye to Uncle Mark already. Boo hoo.

After dropping him off at the airport in Greenville we decided to stop by the zoo since we were already in town. As it turned out, it was the perfect day for an outdoor adventure! The weather was sunny and in the mid-50s -- just right for light jackets. Also, thanks to our handy Nature Center family pass, our admission was free.
After greeting the elephants we stopped in at the Retile room.
The snakes were so bored they were climbing the walls. Please, God, may I never encounter a python (or any other snake) anywhere else but the zoo.
Even this turtle was starved for attention. I briefly worried that he might try to bite Cole's hand but then I decided that his reflexes at over 100 years of age might be a little slow. I really think he was just looking for food.
Crazy toucan.
After circling the zoo (it's fairly small, which makes it just the right length for young kids) we played at the park for a bit. Look how long her legs look here! (New spring shoes, too.)

"We missed the pandas, mommy."
They don't have any pandas, Cole.
"But they have bamboo."
Well, yes, they do. But no pandas.

After a final consultation with the map Cole concluded that we had indeed seen everything and then we were allowed to return home.

    i LOVE these photos so much.
    you and mark look so much alike.
    the zoo photos are fabulous.
    i love that cole made the connection that if there is bamboo, there must be pandas...so smart!

    I am so with you on the pythons! I really need to stop watching all those National Geographic specials about them. I hate snakes.

About Us
      Hi! I'm Joanna, author of this journal. My husband Mark and I are photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. Most recently we collaborated on a 12 week beginner photography course, the contents of which you can find
    • here.
      • The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost wordless children's book about frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love it because it tells a story in pictures. Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent (though not always willing) photography subjects. So here you'll find not only the story of our lives, but of those we've photographed as well. We'd love to tell your story, too!
