Dallas Zoo 2013

Several weekends ago, Sunday, April 7, to be exact, we were on our way downtown to a park. It's the park mentioned in an earlier post. Landry wanted to take Brad. Well, we saw a billboard advertising the zoo's 125 Birthday Celebration. Park or zoo? It was an easy decision. There was an overcast and it was cool so we were off to the zoo!
 
 
Reagan was more interested in the water behind us.



Due to it being the zoo's birthday there were some specials going on which meant free cupcakes!

 
 
Landry and Brad filling time while I fed Reagan.

 
What a big, friendly turtle.

 
Reagan, Mommy and a stilt-walking clown.

 
 
Another family picture! I get excited when we're all in the picture.

 
Daddy's girls.

 
Giddy up elephant!

 
 
Reagan is waiting for the real elephants to come out.


There they are!

 
We saw giraffes next. The weather was such that all of the animals were out and about.


The weather was also perfect for a catnap.


Landry enjoyed the monkeys.

Reagan wasn't sure.
 
 
 
Reagan liked the real monkeys.

 
 
They're coming right to us!

I wonder what was going through this monkey's mind as he looked right at Reagan.
 
 
He reached out to Landry.

 

Reagan thoroughly enjoyed her first trip to the zoo.
