A Day At The Zoo

The kids had two days off this week for Fair Day and instead of fighting the crowds at the Fair we decided to head out to the zoo for a fun day. It was definitely the correct decision. We drove right past all the traffic headed to the Fair and we drove straight up to the front parking lot of the zoo and waited in NO lines.

If you asked my kids their favorite place to visit in Dallas I am pretty sure the zoo would be their first choice. The weather was amazing and cool. All the animals were out roaming around because they love the cool weather also. Having daddy go with us was a treat too. We spent alot of time at the birds of prey area. We have never really paid much attention to these animals because they are across from the lions area. Since the lion died last Spring we headed over to check the birds out. This huge Harpy Eagle would not take his eyes off my baby Connor! He seriously followed Connor everywhere he went. He was a truly magnificent creature. His claws were as large as a grizzly bears. He can eat an animal as large as a sloth in the rain forest! Come to think of it Connor is about the size of a sloth.


I call my two boys my monkeys and they really enjoy acting like them! All in all it was a perfect day at one of our favorite places!
