Labor Day

The kids and I decided to get out of the house on Labor Day. We headed to Cameron Park Zoo in Waco with some friends and enjoyed a hot sunny day at the zoo.

It actually turned out to be a family affair, as Abigail couldn't leave her Daddy behind.



I guess Austin needed a little closer view of the turtles!



Luckily they had some indoor exhibits so we could cool off.



Austin crawled into a little cave to get a closer look at the alligators.











We saw coyote's just like the ones I saw in the backyard!



And cheetah's up close and personal







Look at that snake!



I could barely get them to pose for a picture all day. Until now...















We had a great day at the zoo! I even came out of the gift shop without spending more than $5.00. I wonder how Daddy enjoyed his day at the zoo??? :)

Jam packed weekend

Over the weekend the kids and I headed to Leslie & Reagan's house for a sleep over, as Austin called it. Sunday we headed to the Fort Worth Zoo where the kids had a ball looking at all the animals.

First stop was Grandma Richards favorites, the pink flamingos.

We then moved onto the zebras.

Not sure what the kids were looking at, but I thought it was a cute picture!

While Reagan loved the penguins, they freaked Abigail out. Anything close to the glass she was looking through scared her!

Look at that alligator!

He was swimming past the glass.

We rode the train back to the front of the zoo.

Where we looked at more animals.

And witnessed some sibling bonding.

I think the kids learned a lot about animals.

I'm not sure about Reagan, but my two kids were fast asleep before we even left the parking lot of the zoo! We had great weather and great company!

I got a new camera, so I took 77 pictures at the zoo. If you want to see all the pictures I took, visit our photo album here.
