A Trip to the Zoo

Happy Springtime! Well it may not be officially Spring, but it sure has felt like it here in Dallas lately. James had Monday off for President's Day so we enjoyed the long weekend by going on lots of family outings. We went to this cute park up in Highland Village, fed the ducks, and had a picnic. Sunday, we decided we would head out to the Ft Worth Zoo for the first time. We went with some friends, and we had a great time! Spring time was rampant at the zoo, and we had some close encounters with the wildlife that took some explaining for the kids. It seemed that all of the animals were in the mood for love which was pretty much hilarious for all of us!Greyson pet his first snake, and he took the biggest interest in all things amphibian. I think we usually skip this part of the zoo, becuase we figure that Hannah won't sit still for it or Greyson was too young. Boy were we wrong. Greyson had to show Daddy every single animal in every single aquarium before we could leave the exhibit. Hannah was interested in the big stuff, but then she was ready to move on. Greyson could have spent the whole day there. It would make Grandpa pretty proud since he loves lizards and snakes. Hannah told us that her favorite animal was the tiger or the crocodile, and I guess that pretty much sums up her personality :-). She's feisty!A look at the wildlife


We finished off the weekend by taking the kids to see Gnomeo and Juliet at Studio Movie Grill. I swear I don't think they care what we do if there is an endless supply of popcorn available. We had a great weekend, and we are looking forward to our next adventure!
