Dallas Zoo - Part 1 (0)
Carousel
We went to the Dallas Zoo Sunday and I had one of the best times I've had at a zoo as an adult. We started with the carousel. The Dallas zoo has a really nice one. Francesca didn't want to ride an animal so I decided we could sit somewhere static...a bird's nest. Little did I know, but this nest which was locked into place when the ride was stopped, it spun once things got underway. There was little I could do to stop the spinning and so the Merry-go-round became the Screaming-scary-go-round. During the screaming Karen, Grandma, and Sophia had a blast.
Grandpa and Francesca
The Dallas Zoo has a monorail that takes you through the Wild's of Africa exhibit. The cars move overhead, through parts of the zoo that you can't get to on foot. The animals seem more relaxed, (which is probably due to the lack of people screaming at them) and the tour guide does a great job explaining the different habitats of Africa and the animals that live there to her vastly different audience.
Sophia Having Fun
We had a bee filled lunch (those things love flavored ice) which made me nervous after hearing the details of Jeremy's trip to a medical facility due to some hornet stings.
