Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Yesterday we ventured across the Metroplex to the Fort Worth Zoo. It was a tad cool and a little windy, but not bad enough to keep us away. Eli was very excited to see giraffes, elephants, rhinos, hippos, zebras (my favorite), all kinds of birds, chimps, gorillas, orangutans, snakes, lions, bears, tigers and tons of others that I am probably forgetting. Nick and I had a great time just following Eli around, seeing his excitement and amazement of the animals. Before we got married, Nick and I visited the zoo and had a great time, but seeing it through your kids' eyes is a much sweeter experience. When we were finally back in the warmth of our minivan, we asked Eli what his favorite part of the zoo was. "When the gorilla spit out his food and ate it," he giggled. Explanation: the big male gorilla was sitting right up next to the glass and would lay on his stomach, sit up, regurgitate his food into his hand and start to eat it. We watched as he did this several times and grossed everyone out that came by the exhibit. THAT is what my child remembers most about his trip to the zoo. ;) Oh, well, we still had a great time and hopefully made some other memories for him to one day look back on. I made a slideshow of some photos we took from out outing. Enjoy and have a great week!
