Last week while Kyle was on vacation we took the kids on their very first trip to the zoo. We figured with most schools already in session the zoo would be empty.
And we were right...there were maybe 10 cars in the parking lot when we arrived!
The boys enjoyed it, but it was difficult for them to see some of the smaller animals. And some of the big animals were not out it seemed like because of the heat. So, that was a little disappointing.
We took a snack break here.
About 2 seconds after I took this picture I turned to put the camera down and Davis starts
screaming. I turned around and thought "oh no, he threw up all over himself!". Then I realized that a bird had taken an enormous dump on him! Poor guy. In my panic I didn't know if I should reach for the wipes or the camera.
Lucky for him, I chose the wipes. But it was all over the front of his shirt, his snack cup, his water cup, and the back of Carter's seat. Geez, did this bird just finish up a 7 course dinner?
Anyway, Davis recovered nicely. They all seemed to like the fish the best. So, we'll probably have to visit Sea World next year.
Petting and brushing the goats was also a big hit. Carter made it his mission to brush every goat in there.
After the zoo, we rode the cute little train around Brackenridge Park which shares a parking lot with the zoo.
Now doesn't this look like a refreshing spot for a picnic. Kyle said this is what a park in Baghdad would look like!
San Antonio is having a worse drought than we are (if that is even possible!). We are all in the "Exceptional" drought category. Please, please, let us get some rain!
