Dallas Zoo

So we decided to hit up the zoo a few weekends ago.  Emma loves her animals but it was fun to see her reaction to how the real-life versions compare to the ones she's use to seeing in books.  This was Emma's second trip to the zoo.  We went with her last year just after she turned one.  Here's a picture:

 

 

This time we were packing a little more baggage and a bigger stroller:

 

 

We didn't set our expectations high since it was still part of the hot season.  But we got there first thing in the morning and made it until lunch time.  Emma had a great time in the Safari area and the Kid's Zoo.  She didn't even flinch when we fed the giraffes!  She loved seeing the lions too. 

 

 

 

Yes... my child was that child with only her diaper on... we didn't bring a change of clothes and so we shed them to keep them dry for later.  A lesson learned for future trips. 

 

 

Maggie did great!  She slept thru most of the excitement but she had fun hearing updates from her big sister.
