Zoo Day!

We went to the zoo yesterday for the first time since, about May. We had lots of fun. I love that Brynley is getting old enough to be more fun and understand more things. Brynley saying "cheese" for all the pictures makes her look mad.

Mariska is now as tall as an Emperor Penguin, with Brynley not too far behind.

I love Brynley's face in this picture! So funny.

This lion barely had any mane and was about half this size when we were here last. The zoo lady said that both male "cubs" are now about 450 pounds.

Here is a picture of a bunch of suckers willing to pay $5 for a few leaves of lettuce.

Here is Brent attempting to feed this giraffe a little shred we found on the floor. It wasn't good enough for him and Brent was completely snubbed.

This was our first time riding the monorail! We all had fun seeing animals from Africa that you can only see from the "train". As you can see from this picture, Mariska has a big scrape on the top of her nose. She was punched in the face by a swing.

And, of course, no trip to the zoo is complete before riding the carousel at least twice. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Dallas Zoo family passport membership.... TOTALLY worth the money!!! LOVE the Dallas Zoo!!
