One Enchanted Evening

Yesterday was Harmony Adoption' s 6th annual "One Enchanted Evening" fundraiser event at the Knoxville Zoo. This year's theme was Once Upon A Time and we were suppose to come dress as our favorite story book character. We debated for several weeks about this, Kenli of course wanted to be the Grinch, as he is her very very favorite. But we decided that 85+ degree weather and a Grinch outfit didn't work well together. Ira suggested a Snow White theme (Kenli as Snow White, himself as Prince Charming, and Amy as Dopey). Amy suggested a Tinkerbell theme ( Kenli as tinkerbell, and Ira as Peter Pan complete with green tights). Kenli's second choice was Cat in the Hat... So a Dr. Seuss theme it is. Kenli looked so adorable in her Cat in the Hat outfit, but she didn't wear the hat very much.

Here is picture of Kenli playing in a nest in the bird area:

Kenli is contemplating how hard it would be to get one of those otters home with her

We love the red pandas



Kenli has monkey toes- just ask Eeyore...


When Kenli saw my blue hair she said.. "Mama your hair is precious". How great is that!!! We had such a great day together!
