On Thursday, we headed out to the Dallas Zoo. I had been told that it's close by. Turns out, it's about 8 minutes away! It's hard to say how good the zoo; the only exhibits we really saw were the ones between the entrance and the Children's Zoo (a macaw named Charlie, the lemurs and the flamingos). We petted farm animals, fed birds, played on the jungle gym and in the sand box, put our hands in the meandering stream, climbed in a "spider web", crawled through a burrowing tunnel (well, Erika, Luis, and Skylar did that while I stayed back to take pictures), and looked at fish. [In anticipation of other visitors this spring, we got a family membership to the zoo - expect many more posts of zoo trips as we go back and explore more!]

This black bird alit on my backpack about five times; I thought he was going to try to sneak out with me!
