Zoo Time

This memorial day weekend was a BLAST. Even though we stayed in Dallas we were busy going everywhere!

Saturday morning we got up bright and early to head to the Ft Worth Zoo. We figured it we got there first thing before the crowd it would be perfect timing to have the zoo to our self just a little.

Izzy was bright eyed the whole time. The flamingo's made for a great back drop on our first animal sighting!



I'm not sure what kind of bird this was.... but he had a funny colored yellow, black, and red beak.



We headed towards the back of the zoo in the Texas wildlife area. Danny and Izzy thought they might be able to hitch a ride in the buggy.... but no horses were attached.



The billy goat was busy eating and had no time for us to pet him. So we decided to pose for a picture with his bum.



The deer checked us out for a few seconds before he ducked back behind the brush again. We thought he was soooo cute.



After a little negotiation... we finally got Izzy to trust us that the alligator wasn't real. She jumped right on top of his nose.



Time for a little pony ride on "Fred".



Izzy and I both got to feed a couple of birds at the same time. They cleared off all the bird seed on my stick before flying off.



Izzy was able to get this little bird to come out from the fence to eat a little bird sead. So cute!



Hiding behind the ant mound.



This baboon was eating carrots near the water fall. He had scared off all the others by beating his chest right before this picture.



A final family shot on the way out. We had such a good time!
