Saturday we went to the Dallas. Zoo for a family day of fun. Most of our weekends lately have been busy busy, or we have been cooped up inside, and I was dying to get out just the three of us to do something different. So we did! And thanks to some sweet Birmingham friends, we got to go for FREE! That's great for our budget=) We headed straight to the Children's area and Natalie wanted to ride the pony. We were expecting her to freak out as soon as we tried to put her on the pony but we were pleasantly surprised that our $2 was not wasted! She loved it and kept asking to go 'gin, daddy.' Her Poppi would be proud that she loved the horses!
We took a minute to let her wade in the water. That is just the neatest thing they have there. I need to remember to bring her a change of clothes next time so she can get as wet as she wants!
We were pleasantly surprised again when she wasn't afraid to go in with the goats. She just walked up to them and started patting them. The only time she got a little shaken was when she was petting one and another one was playing around and bumped Nat with his booty. If Brian hadn't been there it would have knocked her down! He caught her but she was a little shaken for a bit. One goat was fired up and ready to fight/play. She kept rearing up and head-butting the others. There was a group of them having a pow-wow (bottom left).
We only stayed about 4 hours which suited us and Natalie just fine. We missed the entire second half of the zoo but there is always next time! Since we didn't pay for the tickets we were ok with this. As you can see, she was tuckered out!
Aww, we love the Dallas zoo! We have never gone and made it through the entire thing!!I was told that Fridays are the best day to go, because they open up the African exhibits and let all the animals run together. I'm a retard and can't ever figure out how to let my comments post on blogs, so let's see if this works. It's Steph, btw, I'm not actually anonymous. :)
