A day at the zoo

A couple of weeks ago there was a girl in our ward who had free tickets to the zoo. She has a zoo pass so she gave them to us. We didn't tell the girls where we were going, just that we had a surprise for them. They had been guessing all morning long and had actually said the zoo in the their guessing, but we never told them. Their reaction was sooo great. We pull up and Macie reads the sign that says "Fort Worth Zoo" and they start screaming and hollering and cheering. They were so excited. You'd of thought we were going to Disney Land. Silly Girls. We got there right as it opened, which was good because it was a HOT and Humid day. We were only there for about 2 hours, but that was plenty. By the last half hour, Camden was TOTALLY done. He would.not.stop.crying. Ever. He was having a complete meltdown and nothing we did was helping. Basically at that point, we couldn't get out of there fast enough! It was a fun morning though and some of the animals gave us quite the show!

 First stop: the rhino's! I don't think that I have ever seen a rhino this close up before. They truly look like the way I would envision a triceratops dinosaur.

 Next up was the tiger. This tiger was giving us quite the stare down. He kept walking back and forth right in front of us. The girls thought that it was the coolest thing ever and Camden couldn't get away fast enough!

 Taking a little break and trying to see the Zebra's that were hiding up on the hill.

 We were able to see this little bear as well. There was 2 of them and they were giving us quite the show. They were walking right on the edge of the rocks and kept reaching out as us. At one point they got into a little fight and then continued trying to get us. Camden didn't mind these guys so much. I think he actually laughed at them. The girls liked the bears and thought that it was pretty cool how close we got.

This little girl was/is the best baby ever!!!!!! She sat in her car seat the WHOLE time and didn't make a peep. She drank her bottle, took a nap, and just hung out the entire time. We were amazed, shocked, and thankful. Between the older girls, Camden, and the stroller, I don't know what we would have done had she decided she wanted to be held the whole time as well. Angel baby. Love her.
