Thankful for the ZOO???

Everyone knows that you go to the zoo in the spring and summertime, but I don't think I've ever been during the week of Thanksgiving!  After the Aggie game, we spent several days with my parents before we all headed out to New Orleans.  The weather was just beautiful, so we headed to the zoo one day!

It's zoo day!

Checking out the seals

This one cracks me up!  We were surrounded by beautiful, rare animals.  What made the girls squeal the most??  All of these Dora advertisements!  Even Tatem can say "Doh-uh" and lit up when she saw the larger than life cutouts. :)

We tried to recreate a picture with this scary Komodo Dragon, who will stare you down!  Landrie was not excited about it.

Baby Landrie wasn't too scared!

Neither was Baby Tatem!

This mama elephant came over after her baby laid down for a nap and stood over her.  So sweet!

Another Dora ad!

So proud to be a big girl out of her stroller!

The girls love their P-Pa and GranJan!

Happy girls!

These little guys were quite the acrobats.

Going ape!

She was so excited to wear her new necklaces.

"No photos, please!"

This was part of a new exhibit.  I can't remember what these huts were, but Landrie loved running in and out of them!

My little drummer girl!

Yup, you should adopt!  It'll be one of the most amazing things you'll ever do!  :)

 

Riding a "rhino!"

Twinkies!

Mark and Landrie playing in the prairie dog tunnels!

Landrie and her P-Pa!

We got a sneak peek of all the Christmas decorations.  Maybe next year we'll have to visit at Christmas!!
