Family Day at the Zoo

Saturday we all loaded up on the Dart Rail and rode it down to the Dallas Zoo.


Owen strollin into the zoo. This was a great weekend and all the kids got along so well together (as did the adults!). We had a great time!


What's that???? They're even cute from behind!


I guess we usually hit up the zoos in the summer when there's a high stink factor? Brody did this action for the first part of our day. And NO, it did not smell. Hmmm?


This was a hurricane simulator. Uncle Jody is bald so he did not show the affects of high winds and Owen is sporting the messy look so not much changed. A video really would have been MUCH funnier of this attraction.


Tortoise wrangling.


Elephant tackling?


Henley escaped her stroller! She was funny whenever she was out of the stroller and we approached an animal she screeched! For some reason she decided to be scared of every animal?


Our group had to split up for the tram ride. They look like the animals in a cage!?!?!


Sister was confuse why everyone else was in a different car...She was so funny on the tram ride. She would spot the animal and never take her eyes off it as we passed, as if she was daring it to come after her. Love her spunk!


Guess who insisted on the BIG elephant? Love Brody's smile!


That's me feeding Crystal


Owen actually fed her too. He was not a fan this summer when we went. Today, he let her take the cracker right out of his hand. We're growing up!


Even Brody let her take his cracker! So proud of my big boys!


Can you tell they love ALL the attention? Such an amazing experience. Absolutely beautiful!


Good lookin' guys!!!


Four monkeys in a jeep!


Elephant races


Owen was just hangin' around


We finished our day at the zoo with a ride on a gorilla for Owen.


And a ride on an elephant for Brody.

We went home with 5 extremely tired children and 6 pooped parents! Great way to spend the day!
