The Nashville Zoo has an annual event called "Ice Day" that I have been wanting to go to for about three years now and we finally made it this year. At Ice Day, they make up frozen treats for the animals and then have scheduled times where they feed them. The tigers, for example, get a 5-gallon turkey flavored ice block. Elephants get large fruit flavored rings of ice, and this sort of thing.
We ate free ice cream.
It was sooo humid and hot. Temperature was in the 90's and it had rained the day and night before so humidity felt like it was 100%!
Actually, I mostly wanted to go see the meerkats get ice treats. As I have said in the past, we used to be crazy about Meerkat Manor and we have our meerkat painting we got at the zoo auction last year. They were so cute...but a bit fat. These meerkats seem to be a little overweight. Their keeper called them, "pleasantly plump." As a result, they weren't moving very fast!

Yeah, it would have been great to see you there! Although, we didn't go see any of the animals!! I think ya'll were there later then we were anyway. Too bad it was so hot and humid!
Riiiiiight, the meerkats were "pleasantly plump"! Is that the PC term for FAT? LOL! They sure are cute. I love Meerkat Manor and CRIED when flower died.
