Fall Trip to The Dallas Zoo

Last Sunday we spent the afternoon at The Dallas Zoo with Brenda, Chels, Colt, and Carter. Bren has a family pass that allows all of us to get in and park 2 cars for no cost(other than the yearly fee that she pays, which is not a bad price)! Unbeatable deal!! We always enjoy our days that we spend at the zoo with our friends! Thanks Bren for keeping your family pass! We love you!! :)
The kids really got into the coin drop in the reptile area. They stood and watched to coins spiral down for quite a while!

The new exhibit was an albino alligator exhibit. The gators kept pretty still and looked fake, but no matter how still they were they still spooked me out!!

Colt gave Carson a boost to look at a GIANT snake. Carson was in heaven because he got to have Colt's undivided attention, since Cade was unable to come to the zoo because of a football game.

The highlight of the day was getting to ride a pony! The girls wanted to do this so bad at the State Fair, but there we couldn't find a pony to ride! They were so excited to see this pony that they could ride in the children's' zoo! Ella Cate got to go first!

Emmy again! The last time that the girls rode a pony was when they were 2 at The Mesquite Rodeo! Back then they were not near as brave!!

Carson's turn!

Another perk of the family membership is that Brenda gets a certain # of carousel passes a year. So on our way out of the zoo everyone got a carousel ride. The girls rode with Chels and Carter. Here is Emma striking a pose!

Colt and Carter rode in a nest that they spun around the entire time! It made me sick to my stomach to watch!!
To top off our fun day we stopped at a snack vendor that was having happy hour. We got ice cream sandwiches, popcorn and bottled water all for $1.00... can't beat that!!
