Catching up on our fun in America…..
We visited a deer farm where we petted and fed deer,
rode four wheelers,
and the highlight — bottle fed baby fawns.
Later, Sprite got her ears pierced!
She celebrated her birthday not once,
not twice,
but three times in USA. Her actual birthday was spent in Yellowstone. (Photos to come.)
And we had a wonderful fun day/field trip at Mud Island in Memphis with some good friends. Here is the bridge that crosses the Mississippi River from Tennessee into the State of Mississippi. I always think of it looking like an M for Memphis, but maybe it’s for the Mississippi River instead.
The Mississippi River Museum that is part of Mud Island is a really great learning experience. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. (But we couldn’t take photos inside the museum.)
Mud Island is a topographical replica of the Mississippi River. It’s fascinating to travel along the river’s path and see familiar cities along the banks.
Of course, we had to get a family shot at “mini-Memphis” on the Mississippi River map.
ONLY in Memphis…

My goodness, giving a bottle to a baby fawn….that is too good to be true!
We twice had a ‘visit’ of a deer on our Italian holiday address. The picture is under my name.
Wow! What a cool topographical map!

It looks like you had fun in Memphis. My brother lives on Mud Island.

Mud Island looks like a cool field trip! We’ve taken a road trip from LA to GA the last 3 years. I’m always looking for neat side trips. Last year was battle stuff–USS Alabama, Vicksburg Military Park…. I think I’m going to plan this for our way back (we leave for GA Saturday!). Even the little girls will like it! Do you think with the museum it would be a most of the day affair? We have family that lives in the area, I’m hoping we can stay with them.

Looks like some wonderful times in the US. We’ll have to visit Mud Island sometime! And, I love the photo of the family with mini-Memphis.
