This past Saturday, Hailey and I attended Harvest Days at the Nashville Zoo. There is a pre-Civil War mansion on the zoo grounds (I have no idea why the zoo was built around this place but it is so there you have it) and once a year they open it up for tours and set up tents all around the property with people dressed up in clothes from the 1800's doing things like quilting, rubber stamping, making yarn from wool, etc, etc. Its real hands on for the kids and Hailey even got to decorate one of the pieces of the quilt they made and drink freshly pressed apple cider! We saw horses and cows and talked to the chickens, and Hailey tried to pick a squash from the garden...clepto. It was a great day despite the oppressive heat, its fun to think that fall festivals have started and perhaps the weather will cool down again at some point!

Looks like tons of fun. Wish we had some more things like that around here. Nashville sounds like a happenin' place.
