1st time to the Zoo

Mikey had the day off on Wednesday, thanks to Veteran's day, so we decided to go to the Ft. Worth Zoo. This was a first for all of us. We have been wanting to go ever since we moved to Dallas and just never got around to it. It's fun exploring all these new places as a family. I'm glad we waited till now. The weather couldn't have been any better. We had a blast!

First stop, to see the monkeys!



There were so many beautiful waterfalls as part of the exhibits. Ava seemed more interested in them than the animals at first.


Silly monkeys fighting over a blanket ???


Lazy cheetah


This little guy was hanging out in the corner like he was serving his timeout.


Tiger

Taking it all in


Ava wasn't too impressed with the lion, maybe because she looks so much like her dog Macy!


Helping Dad decide which animals to see next


Giraffes

We were hoping for the giraffes in the background but our random photographer didn't seem to think that was important.

We need to go again with Sophie I took her at 4 months and she fell asleep half way thru! But the Ft Worth Zoo is definitely a cool one!
