Sarah and I took Rebekah and Luke to the Texas Zoo yesterday. It was another 70-degree day, so it was a great day for zoo adventures. :) The Texas Zoo is a very small and small child-friendly zoo that you can tour in about 45 minutes.
This is for my dad- every time I see a turtle, I want to grab it, but from the look of the head and tail, this one seemed to be a snapping turtle.
Sorry- it was very sunny. (This is Luke's first zoo experience by the way! Now that he practically doesn't sleep at all (what the what??), we have so much more time to go adventuring. I have really, really enjoyed taking him new places, such as the beach and the zoo!)
I always love the tigers. The kids were nonplussed. Rebes kept asking for an elephant they simply don't have.
Looking for the elusive elephant perhaps?
Petting the goats was Rebekah's favorite.
Identifying every wheeled object as a "cah" or "truh" was Luke's favorite. Seriously, there must be a boy gene that attracts them to all things round and/or wheeled.
Also for my dad...
Luke was very excited when he spotted the turtle and pointed to it like he had discovered a new planet. :)
It was really cool to see the roaming peacocks, chickens, and birds.
Luke loves watching animals, so he was very happy to stay in the stroller and point. :)
The group shot rarelt works- I do like how Luke is realizing there is something behind us.
Luke also learned a new animal sound- bok!
Gotta love low-budget, small-town zoos with roaming wild life.
Walking brings such freedom!

Wow the flashbacks are wild--R has grown like three feet! I'm glad you've gotten some warm weather for these fun little vacations with your kids! I'm guessing it's a nice break from the long sleeves :)
