Tuesday we made our first trip to the zoo. My mom got us a year pass for Christmas, but this is the first chance we've had to use it. We got the pass to the Dallas Zoo vs. Fort Worth since it's closer and the kids don't really know it's not the better zoo at this age. Plus when they get older, maybe we'll switch to the Ft. Worth and it will be a whole new experience for them. :-)
Anyway, we had a blast today. We met a friend of mine and her kids for a picnic lunch and then cruised around the zoo for a bit. Since this was my first trip to the zoo, we mainly just got an idea of where everything was (on the north side of the zoo at least). They have a great children's area that the kids will have fun at once they're walking, but for now, they just hung out in their stroller. I think Jake liked the elephant the best and Abby preferred this little crested bird. They were so cute. At first they didn't really look at the animals (just the people), but once they figured out "things" were actually in those cages, they started to look a bit. When we got to the elephants, Jake stretched his arms out and laughed. Abby couldn't get enough of this one little bird that kept pacing back and forth just looking at us.
It was really warm and humid today so the kids got hot (but I remembered my sunscreen today!) and by the time we got to the car, they gulped their water down. I'm hoping to make it out to the zoo at least twice a month since we have the pass (free parking and admittance!). It will give us something new to do and once they're walking they can get out and play in the playground a bit.
