Fort Worth Zoo

We went to the FW Zoo today and it was, surprisingly, not too busy. Granted we arrived there right before it opened and sprinted past the monkey/gorilla house where we were the first to the meerkats and giraffes. We quickly took the 'elephant photo op' picture and continued in our own version of the zoo race. We took our good friend, Julia, and the kids had fun asking her a million questions. I still had the rapid-fire questioning from Cooper, but Julia deflected quite a bit of the inquiries.

I think the kids will say that the best part of the trip was Julia taking them into the bird feeding exhibit. She helped them feed the birds and get the birds to jump on the stick; she has a 'technique' that works! Natalie was a little fearful of the birds and Luke was just a little too aggressive when Julia would hand them to him. They tried to talk her into taking them into see the bats (not my forte), but thank goodness she didn't want to go in there either. I think we all had a great time!

Check out my wing span!
