Marme Visits Memphis

Chris' mom (otherwise known as Marme) came to visit for Mother's Day weekend and we had a pretty much perfect time. There was one day that involved the zoo, a carriage ride, AND ice cream, so that let's you know that we took our recreational planning seriously.

The weekend was a complete miss as far as photography went, so just take these for their sentimental value.


The Lareau women (and another very nice family) take on the zoo.


We watched this monkey family forever; it was one of the coolest things we'd ever seen at a zoo. The baby kept making a break for it (see him crawling under the log), and mom kept dragging it back to where she and dad were trying to relax. I identified.


Meridy and Beth on the carousel. I told you we didn't pull any punches with the good times.


This is Mer just as the carriage ride began. This is her "oh my goodness, this is really cool and I must absorb it all" face.


This is all of us (not that you can tell) in front of the fountain. The water looks pretty, at least...

We love your visits, Marme. Now if we can just get Aunt Carol out to the land of Elvis...
