Dallas Zoo

Since today was MLK holiday we had the day off, and Chels and I decided to meet at The Dallas Zoo. The temperature reached the upper 60s today, and zoo admission is only $5 for January and February! We got to the zoo right after it opened, and it felt like we were the only ones there for awhile! Carson and Cade stayed home to spend time with Nana, and that just left me with the girls! We had some great Mommy/daughter time, and we loved being with Chels, Carter, and Abby.

After getting there the girls spotted a Lemur!

The penguins were so cute and friendly!

We fed giraffes, which was the neatest thing! I could've stayed there all day to watch them!









We saw a precious baby chimp with his mommy and daddy.

Here the baby was riding on her back.

So sweet!! After seeing the chimps we rode the monorail. I hadn't been on it in years, and this was the girls' 1st trip!

We spent some fun time in the children's area until Emmy got her feet wet in the little river that they have. She became miserable and cranky, so we headed to McDonalds for lunch.

We had such a great time, and with the zoo being a 20 min car ride (from Arlington...who knew?), I decided to buy a 1 year membership! I can't wait to go back many more times this year!
