Family outing to the Dallas Zoo

Ok, let me preface this post with a couple of facts. 

1. The Dallas Zoo is awful compared to the Fort Worth Zoo.  Truly, it is.
2. We only went because I got adult passes for a dollar each with a Google Daily Deals offer.

Now, I can continue.  We'd been planning to take our cheap little trip this past Friday after my appointment, but sadly the weather didn't cooperate, so we went yesterday (Sunday) instead.  Savannah had a good time for the most part, but the animals were totally docile so she wasn't too excited about hanging out at one exhibit for any length of time.  Her favorites were the reptiles. 

This fella here, can't remember what he is, was particularly friendly.  The two of them, yes, the lizard and Savannah, would run back and forth along the length of his enclosure, stopping at the ends so he could try to climb up the glass.  Maybe he was trying to escape.  I can't be sure.  It looked like they were dancing together.  She got a kick out of it.


A big icky snake smiling for the camera.  He could likely swallow my kid whole.  He was gigantic!


Posing quickly in front of the flamingos.  Momma's looking a bit weary after hiking around for so long.  Hauling 20ish extra pounds around can do that to a person.


"What's that?"  Such a curious little squirt.


She was totally pooped and zonked out after about 3 minutes in the car. 


It really wasn't that memorable of an outing, but Cory and I agreed it was just nice to get out of the house and do something different.  We look forward to going back (...to the zoo in general, not this particular zoo, of course...) when the weather is a little warmer and the animals are {hopefully} more playful.  By that time, we'll be a family of four!  Daddy will be pulling Savvy in the wagon and Momma will have little sister tethered to her with the Moby wrap.  Can't wait!!
