Day three is almost over and the fact that we leave tomorrow is beginning to set in. It has been another wonderful day, however, and there are still steaks to grill and marshmellows to roast. We began today a little late, we actually decided to sleep in a little. We headed out around nine and began our day at the Chattanooga Zoo. It is one of those great small zoos that we seem to enjoy even better than the really big ones. Keith knew to be on the lookout for a penny machine and he wasn't dissappointed. A great train-shaped machine in the zoo gift shop provided me with four new additions to my collection. The Red Pandas were the highlight for Keith while Kelly had a great time in the petting area. We took some great pictures and will share some of them soon. After the zoo, Kelly took advantage of Keith by dragging him to a scrapbook store for more paper and embellishments. After a relaxed lunch, we headed to Coolidge Park to see the carousel. This is a great park and we wished aloud that we had thought to bring a frisbee, a kite, or even just a blanket to take advantage of this area that overlooks the Tennesse River. We spent a few minutes exploring a few of the shops, even stopping for some treats for our Fur-Kids at Bone Appetite, a gourmet pet snack shop. As we had planned on a night of steaks around the campfire, we soon headed back to camp. Kelly is wrapping up her work, the steaks are marinating, and it is almost time for the Grillmaster to don his apron and light the grill!
