The Zoo, Round Two!

Two weekends ago we took advantage of a Google deal (Adult tickets to the Dallas Zoo for a whopping $1) and met up with one of Brett's co-workers and his family one Saturday morning.
We decided to avoid traffic and took DART downtown. It was Jameston's first "train" ride. He loved it and surprisingly sat pretty still!

We went back in May, but it was amazing to see the difference in Jameston's response to the "Am-mulls" this time around! The African Safari part is pretty cool I might add.

Elephants!

My boys headed to the next spot-love it!
Time to feed the giraffes
We splurged and spent $5 (hey, it's for a good cause) to buy them some food. Jameston kept saying, "I give giraffe lettuce." Too cute!
Off to see the lions and cheetahsHe wasn't timid ONE BIT when it came to how close he was to the lioness. Wow!
We then made sure to catch the Bird Show, which many people recommended to us.
Owl in motion:
The show as a little loud, but it did not disappoint! And the last animal we saw before we left were the "Lingos!" as Jameston calls them :-)
All in all, a successful (and affordable) trip. That boy was tuckered out! We will probably get a season pass next summer since his admission will still be free :-)

Needless to say, with his current love for all things animals (from his Lego's to books), I succumbed to buying "The Lion King" on blue-ray last week when it was released. And, shamelessly, we have watched it two times in the last week!
