First Visit to the Zoo

While Dylan and Stephanie were here, we took Harper to her first visit to the zoo. She really didn't know what to make of it all at first. She was mostly scared of the animals, but got more used to how things work there as the day went on.


Here she is kissing her favorite things - the fish!




She also loves fish, but wasn't too comfortable getting very close to see the Coy fish without holding Mama's hand.



She got into her groove as she played in the interactive kid area. She loved hitting these buttons to hear the animals make their sounds.



And she shocked me by wanting to pet this chicken in the petting zoo!




A few of the other animals we saw:

A very stinky rhino


Kangaroos


A huge white tiger


a very big elephant


Sleeping Tigers



Sleeping Harpers (grasping her monkey)



Waving to Daddy while keeping a safe distance from the orangutans.


The Fort Worth Zoo is the oldest zoo in Texas and it is really beautiful. I can't wait to take my family to the San Diego Zoo some day since I feel like that was my "local zoo" growing up. But I look forward to many more visits to the zoo, no matter which zoo it is!
