Fun trip to the Zoo

We took a family trip to the Ft Worth Zoo last weekend to do something special with Meritt before her baby brother gets here in a few weeks. I figured we better go soon than later because it's already getting hard for me to walk long distances with this big belly. :) I was afraid I would get too tired, but I did much better than I thought & we all had lots of fun. The weather was perfect & it was a great day together.

Meritt is ready to see some animals!!

First stop....pink flamingos (but they were actually orange).

Meritt & Mommy by the flamingos.

Zebras

This is a meercat.

Daddy & Meritt with the Elephants!

Meritt loves Elephants, but I don't think she realized that they were so big in real life. :)

Eating some cotton candy!

Rhinocerous in the water

More Elephants

Now for some Monkeys!

Baboons are so weird looking.

Meritt did not like sitting up on this ledge...as you can see by her death-grip on Daddy's shirt. :)

Another Rhino.

Riding on Daddy's shoulders!

More flamingos...these are white with a little pink.

Giant turtles!

Lemur....like the funny animal in the movie, Madagascar. :)

Komodo dragon!

Crazy lizard that was really trying to get out!

Meritt liked the water animals!

Biggest crocodile we've ever seen! It kept swimming along the glass like it was showing off, but maybe it just wanted to eat all the little kids. :)

Parrots

Macaws

Coral reef fishies!!

And lastly....the Penguins!
