Saturday morning we finally took Jeff to the zoo with us. Jillian and I go quite a bit, so it was time for Jeff to join in on the fun. It's literally 5 minutes from our house so we got there when it opened at 9. There was NO ONE there, I felt like we had the zoo to ourselves! I hate crowds, so this made me happy.
I must say, I'm not a fan of zoos, but I'm impressed with the Dallas zoo. Well, as impressed as you can be with a zoo. They recently opened a new Africa area, so we checked out. Of course I feel terrible for the animals trapped in their habitats, but it's definitely an improvement. Here's Jill checking out all the giraffes.
They have a neat little attraction where you can feed the giraffes. For a whopping $5 you can get 3 romaine lettuce leaves and feed them. What a steal, right? Since there were no lines we opted to do it. The giraffes didn't cooperate and with a 1 year old we didn't have a lot of patience, so we left.
They also have a new lions area. This is not where the lions are kept; it's the bypass area to their open area. This lioness I think enjoyed checking out the people and stalking all of us. There's just a chain link fence b/w you and the lion. Little scary. Especially when you make eye contact.
We also took advantage of the long weekend and spent one night with my parents so we could get out and go on a date. The next day we did a little swimming.
That was our weekend. Hope yours was wonderful too!
