Dallas Zoo

Patrick got a FAMILY pass to the Dallas Zoo for his birthday! We were finally able to use it this past weekend. They have a new exhibit open that was VERY, VERY cool! We had a blast! (THANKS MIMI AND BG - LOVE YOU!)

Patrick's "thing" right now is to gasp and then say "What's that?" Seriously. He can't say much else, but he is constantly asking "What's that?" It's adorable. Especially when he gasps. So full of wonder and joy!

Here are the elephants - they were in part of the new exhibit which, as I mentioned, was AWESOME!

My boys...

It was so, so HOT on Sunday when we were there. We kept Patrick shaded and well hydrated all day - it was in the high 90's! We were even there right at 9AM, but it was still SUPER HOT! Here he is with his nifty hat on:

THIS got a BIG gasp out of my boy (Grandma Sarah, DON'T LOOK AT THIS ONE!) HAHA! He LOVED it!

Here are a few shots of just SOME of the MANY animals we saw that day: These guys were HUGE!

RIBBIT!

SPOOK-tacular albino alligator. CREEPY, but very cool. Even it's eyes were white!

This was at the petting zoo - the zoo had a whole "children's" section, which was very interactive and cool!

OINK!

Momma, is that you?! HAHA!

Needless to say, we had an absolutely wonderful time at the Dallas Zoo, and we look forward to going back very soon! Lots of Love - Ashley*
