This week the weather has finally started to cool down!! We had 70 days of over 100* degree weather and NO RAIN! So since we have had a break in the weather we have started to venture out more. We headed over to the Dallas Zoo this week and the kids had a blast!
These statues were finally cool enough to sit on. The kids loved riding these elephants!
Next we were off to the lions, and they were sleeping peaceful :) Seriously who could sleep like that??? It was hilarious, and the one lion kept moving his leg trying to get comfortable.
Look at those paws, it looks like a stuffed animal! Look at those nostrils!
Look at how proud he is!! He was so excited to be holding a real ostrich egg. We were in this information club house area with several zookeepers who were asking Ryan a bunch of questions, folks I think many hours watching Wild Kratts is paying off because he knew most of the answers and some answers I didn't even know!
This one is for my Katie!
This one is a cheeky little monkey, she was playing keek-a-boo with me!
Ummm, do you see that sass???? Because I do!!!
Ummm, I think he was slightly excited about riding this eagle.
My little adventurous one though, she was a little less then excited!! This was the fastest moving carousel I have ever been on, so I guess it scared her a little bit.
The best kept secret though is don't buckle up your kids, and then 3/4's of the way through the little old man running the thing stops it all, scolds me, I buckle them and then he starts the whole thing over again! Perfect!
Next we were off to ride horses! I swear we looked at the animals.
Of course my little cowboy loved the pony ride.
Next was Caroline's turn, I'm not sure she loved it as much as her big brother but she enjoyed it.
Next we were off to see the goats, that was Ryan's only request all day, he wanted to pet the goats.
In true Caroline form she was bossing the goats around!
For some reason all these goats started to gather around this door all the sudden and it kinda freaked Ryan out. He was a little panicked but just as quickly as they gathered they dissipated.
Now he was top dog!
Last of all it was off to the tunnels. I was captivated by these Naked Rat Moles. They are so nasty but so interesting at the same time.
My kids in the tunnels!
