Zoo trip

We took the kids to the zoo this afternoon. Will and Kylie rode a giant iguana.

Lions!
Tigers!
Bears! Oh my!
Find the gazelle: One of these things is not like the other:


Either the zookeepers at the Fort Worth zoo have a really twisted sense of humor or they're just mean. The gazelle (and zebra) exhibit is/are directly across from the African lion exhibit. So the lions get to sit and watch their would-be prey frolic and, in essence, say nanny-nanny-boo-boo from the complete safety of their own habitat.

We had fun, as always, and, as always, finished up with a meal at Pappa's Burgers where Jason and Jon (who'd been dutifully ignoring all radio and televisions that could possibly reference the Cowboys score so they could watch the game on their own respective, ridiculously large televisions) got to catch the last ten minutes live. Whoops.

I'm so jealous of the shorts. I think we're done with shorts for about 9 months. :(

I heard somewhere that they set up exhibits close together like that so the animals are stimulated. It does seem rather cruel though.

Will's face in the closeup of that first photo is hilarious.
