A Trip to the Dallas Zoo!

Mamama and Grandi wanted to take Rebekah to the Zoo. Lukey is a little too sleepy to have much fun at the zoo, so Josh was sweet enough to stay behind for him to nap, while I got to go to the zoo, too! I love going places with my parents- it's like being a kid again! They would take us to Six Flags, for example, once a summer. Because it was a one-day trip, we got whatever we wanted (within some reason)! We got to get goofy stuffed animals, vacation t-shirts, and any kind of snackage- all day! So, besides loving the zoo in and of itself, I was all for tagging along!

Rebekah got 2 icees, complete with a tiger twisty straw, and ate Cheetos for lunch. Interestingly, the only time I was excited about Cheetos was when I was preggers with Rebes!!
I got 2 Diet Cokes and shared some Blue Bell ice cream with my mom (and Rebekah).

We saw lots of animals and Rebekah kept saying, "I need to see another animal!" She was particularly fond of Jenny, the gaseous elephant. The cool thing was that the gorilla walked right up to the glass and greeted us! The bad thing was that this was one of the first animals we saw, so Rebekah was spoiled early on and expected every animal to greet her in such a fashion. Fortunately for me, I had forgotten the not so long ago incident where a gorilla flat-footed jumped out of the exhibit and had to be killed by SWAT after injuring multiple people. Standing on the other side of the glass would have been a little more traumatic with that in mind.
