Walking in Memphis

Traveling can be very difficult for children. Oftentimes they are subjected to long car trips where they are not able to move around a lot, their schedules are completely messed up, they are in completely new environments, and they are meeting all kinds of people. One of the things we tried to do this trip to make things easier for Jessica was to plan activities that gave her a chance to do kid things without having to constantly hear, "No, no, no!" Here are a few photos from our activities!

At the zoo with Grandpa Jeff feeding the birds!

Oh! Look at that!
