Another Trip to the Dallas Zoo--our home away from home . . .

We have a family zoo pass and knowing the zoo so well makes it easier for me to take all 3 kids by myself, so we end up going to the zoo quite often. We mix it up and do a little something different each time and that keeps it interesting. This time we just saw the Wilds of Africa and then took a carousel ride and visited the children's zoo. The kids love to put on their swimsuits and run through the water in the children's area, but it still stresses me out trying to watch all of them running in different directions.

Where are you penguins?
Checking out the baboons.

It was so cool that this gorilla was right up at the glass munching on some leaves.

Brant studies his map.

Claire says "Ta Da!"

Look at those big crocodiles!

We all rode in the bird's nest on the merry-go-round because mommy can't stand next to everyone's horse.

After a while Brant wanted a ride and Cate always wants to walk, so it worked out perfectly.

Wheee--we love the water!

Sweet brother, Brant, holding Cate's hand.

Brant wanted to sit on the elephant sculpture on the way out. Super Brant!

Ahhhh-Claire falls asleep in the car with her blankie after a tiring morning.
