Wednesday, May 12th, we decided to take the kids to the zoo - for the first time!
We have been waiting for the prime opportunity to take Braxton to the zoo (like many other places). We wanted him to be a good age to walk, enjoy, understand certain elements, good weather (warm but not Texas hot) etc...
In addition to all of our desires/qualifications for the 'right' time, we were blessed to have family in town (including: my mom, David's parents, David's grandfathers and his aunt & uncle). David was able to leave work at 10 am, and it was the perfect opportunity...weekday not weekend :)
Braxton LOVES all animals and was so excited for the 'real' zoo after having been to the petting zoo the prior Saturday. He continued to ask to see the animals and remind us about going. Specifically, he wanted to see the giraffes, zebras and elephants.
So, we headed out to the Dallas Zoo. Supposedly the Fort Worth zoo is much better, but it is also much farther.
Little did we know that the Dallas zoo is undergoing some major renovations; therefore, no elephants, giraffes or zebras were to be seen :( Braxton stayed in good spirits in spite of this and loved every minute! He ran, jumped, climbed, played, ate A TON, laughed, wanted to hold and feed the animals - it was an awesome time! Needless to say, he crashed at the end...you'll see a pic of him resting his head on Daddy's on the way out.
Enjoy our slide show!!!
