Cold Front in Texas

What do you do when the temperature drops from 108 to 99?  Go to the zoo of course!  We hadn't been in a few weeks, so since it was "cooler" today we decided to go.  We caught the new show they are putting on, rode the newly renovated carousal, and found an animal that was in the wrong exhibit.

Nobody wanted a picture with mom

Alligator

Horned owl

Sorry Gabby, but they said this was a small snake

Turkey

Garrett took over the camera several times; he had a hard time focusing...

 Tripp also had to have his turn with the camera; he likes to view the world from a different angle...

Finally! Tripp caught a picture of me with Garrett.

 Here are a few more that I got from the zoo.

Garrett wanted to show dad a really good deer to get, bet this guy is glad he is in the zoo.

We love the otters!

We caught these guys howling, not Garrett's favorite thing.

For all our TCU friends

Me and my boys

We saw this snake in the flamingo area.  He kept swimming through their legs scaring them.  I think he was acutally trying to get out but the embaknment was too high for him.

Trying to get out

Garrett felt sorry for him and we had to hunt down a zoo keeper to let them know he was in there.
