Dallas Zoo

After living in the DFW area for several years, we finally made it to the Dallas Zoo.  Uncle Clint, Aunt Kristi, and Ally came out for the weekend with some of their friends to go to a few area attractions.  We met them at the zoo after our morning at the ballpark.  The boys thought it was the best fun day ever. 

The weather was perfect, and it wasn't very busy.  We spent the day enjoying all the neat exhibits and checking out the animals.  We even found two "monkeys" for a family photo by the entry.

The boys saw a couple big rocks and thought it was a great place to pose in their cool shades.

 

We all rode the Monorail around one side of the zoo.  It was a great way to see lots of the different animals and their different habitats.

 

The boys found an animal they could take turns holding.  The poor lizard was gone as soon as he hit the ground.  I have a feeling he was a bit nervous around these rowdy boys.

 

The Wilds of Africa exhibit was very cool, and it was the favorite part of the visit.  We were able to see several elephants, giraffes, hogs, lions, and lots more close up.

 

Trip to the zoo - across the street

It was beautiful outside this evening, so I took Ryland and Cooper for a walk. Across the street from our community, there is a large piece of land with a few exotic animals. We headed out on a trip to the zoo right across the street.

Ryland is really liking to point here lately. He started pointing at things off and on about 2 weeks ago, and now he points at everything and everyone. I do think that seeing a zebra is point worthy.

Just ask Cooper if he wants to go see the animals. He goes crazy. He will run to the door and start whining. As soon as we are out the door, he starts running. It is pretty funny to watch Cooper when we get to the fence. He makes a whimper and starts pacing the fence line. The animals hear him and come trotting to the other side of the fence to visit.
