"Whatcha wanna learn today?"
Courtney heard that "Sid the Science Kid" was visiting the Knoxville Zoo on Saturday, July 24th. For those of you who don't know or have forgotten, Carter absolutely loves Sid! He loves all the music on the show and loves dancing along to the songs. We were having family pictures made that morning but decided to go as soon as those were over so that Carter could see Sid. We got to the zoo a little before 11am and went directly to the Kids' Cove tent to wait in line for our chance to visit Sid (and Buddy from "Dinosaur Train"). We couldn't help but laugh at Carter when he first saw Sid. His face lit up and he yelled "A Sid, A Sid, A Sid" as loud as he could! We had to wait in line for quite a while so that the characters could take breaks from the heat. Fortunately the Barn Loft is located right beside the tent so Courtney took Carter to check out the owls, mice, rats, and a snake. When it was our turn to see Sid, Carter wouldn't stop giving him high-fives. It was too cute! Our camera started messing up (of all times!) so we didn't get as many good shots as we would have liked. We stayed at the zoo just to visit the giraffes and then went home. It was so hot and Carter was worn out from our busy morning.
Sid on his way to visit with fans!

Carter was so excited to touch Sid!
Family Picture Time!
