The Zoo


Checking out the tiger

Click here for more zoo pics: The Zoo!!
Well, our first trip to the zoo, was literally that...a zoo!! I was so excited to finally take Jonas to the zoo and was almost completely crushed when we got there. Here's the quick version:

It's spring break...Ryan's off from school (so is everyone else)
It's Wednesday (half-price addmission day...did I mention it's also Spring Break)
20 minute drive to the zoo exit (not bad)...followed by 30 minute wait in line of cars also exitting (yeah, that's bad...the zoo is only 3 minutes from the exit)
Finally park...in Neverland
News helicopters circling above zoo getting shots for 5 o'clock news (uh-huh...turns out its the busiest day of the whole year for the zoo)
Long walk to the gate
Even longer line to get in the gate
Quick decision to buy year-long pass into zoo for me and Ryan (boys are free...probably the best credit card purchase ever)
Walk right into zoo...and a million other people
See flamingos
Eat lunch
See Texas Wild Exhibit
Jonas passes out
Walk around for 20 minutes to find hidden bathrooms w/o over 50 people (yes, women) in line
Walk around another 20 minutes to find quiet place to feed Micah
Jonas wakes up
See Africa exhibit
Go home

It was a crazy day, but both boys were awesome. Micah did not fuss at all and Jonas was just a little moody from a short nap...in a stroller. We saw some crazy things, which always makes for an even more interesting day. All in all, it was a fun time. We are so excited to go back as many times as we want....and never again on a Wednesday!!!

My sweet, happy Micah
