Zoo Fun


When we first moved back to Texas from Utah, Alex wasn't quite 2. I needed something fun to do with him during the day and decided to buy a membership to the Fort Worth Zoo. Three years later, the zoo is one of our favorite family outings. And this picture says it all...it's why I love taking him. Every time we go we have a really fun time and the memories are priceless! Our first trip to the zoo in 2010 was just as fun and memorable.

Addison loved the birds...as long as they weren't too close!

One of Alex's favorite treats at the zoo: Cheese Pizza!

And another favorite: Riding the train.

One area of the zoo has a barn where the kids can play. This time, Alex loved the machine that made cow "manure." You dropped balls in the chute, turned the handle and the cow would "poop" the balls. You can see why a four-year-old boy would think this was the funniest thing ever!
And no trip is complete without a stop for ice cream. Bottoms up!
Ta Da! Addison loved her ice cream. I know, shocker.
Alex with his "yellow" ice cream. It's also known as Homemade Vanilla. We also enjoyed seeing all the animals, with the birds being the highlight of this trip (see next post). We can't wait for the new MOLA exhibit to open: Museum of Living Art. As with all the exhibits at the Fort Worth Zoo, it should be worth the wait!
