One of Dad's and my rare photos.
I had one of these with Candace and her family but must of accidently deleted it. Candace email one of those shots to me-I'm sure I took one on your camera! It was so cute with the whole family.
Candace, Gavin, Beau and Landon. What a cute Family!!
Good picture even if Lexi's eyes are closed.
There were two pens of baby bears! They were so fun to watch as they played with each other.
We went to Bear World over Father's Day weekend. It was overcast and cool with rain threatening. We did get afew rain drops but not enough to spoil our visit. :)
These goats were so cute. This baby loved to ride it's mothers back! The baby was fun to watch as it jumped around on rocks that lined a small stream of water. They are so agile.
They had 2 baby deer. Aren't they cute! They asked us to stay 8' away so we didn't upset the mother.
This picture was taken at the end of the tour. We were there for quite a while. I was much like all the girls in my day growing up - rushing to every movie of Elvis's that came out!!! I am happy to be able to say that I have toured Graceland! Thanks to a lady in Tammy's ward we were able to get several free tickets. She has worked at Graceland for over 20 yrs. She has been through many of his trunks and storage items. One day she came across a Book of Mormon. Elvis had read it and underlined many passages and wrote notes in the margins. She was impressed and it lead her to investigate the church. She says Elvis was her missionary!!
The tours originate across the street and visitors are bused to the mansion for the tour.
As you entered his home you came into a foyer off to the right was this room. I can remember seeing this picture in many a magazine in Elvis's day.
I look wierd in this picture because I have my head set on. The tour is done with the headset and your own pace. I actually learned a lot about Elvis that I didn't know before. One interesting note was a benefit concert he did to raise money for the Pearl Harbor Memorial. All the proceeds from the concert went to fund the memorial. Elvis did so many things for Charity!!
This is the Memorial Garden where Elvis and his parents and grandparents are buried. It is a very nice area. People speaking all kinds of languages are heard reverently speaking and paying respects to Elvis.
This was a good picture of Tammy and the kids just after we got to the church. Brandon was off getting everything ready for the baptism.
Here is their family picture before the baptism. As you can see the kids have a really hard time holding still.
This is a picture of our nephew and part of his family. Dean and Annie Baker and daughters, Brooke and Emma. It was such a nice surprise for Tammy when they relocated from Bells, TN to Southaven, Mississippi. There is only one Ward there so Tammy gets to see them often.
We took this trip six weeks ago - I am just SLOW in posting it!! Mud Island was very educational. I enjoyed visiting this island.
On Mud Island they had a map that followed the Mississippi River from it's beginning to end.
This picture shows the rail car that can be taken from Memphis over to Mud Island.
From Mud Island looking back to Memphis skyline. Not far from Beale Street.
Brandon, Shelby, and Noah rode the paddle boat at Mud Island.
This is the Pink Palace Mansion! This was built by the founder of the "Piggly Wiggley" grocery
We took this picture in front of the Pink Place Mansion. It was alittle overcast but very muggy.
Me and Dad infront of the Pink Palace Museum. They had so much in here and it was very interesting. The kids got tired after we spent an hour or so. Brandon went on line and found
