Dollar Day at the Dallas Zoo!

On Tuesday, the Dallas Zoo had dollar admission all day long. SO, my friend Kim and her two kids, and our family (minus Paul) packed up the kids and drove to the zoo! Well, I guess everyone in the DFW area saw that small add in the Friday paper and did the same thing. They had traffic cops diverting the cars (actually, mostly minivans) about a mile or so out of the way to come into the zoo. Then, the parking lot was very full. There were tons and tons of people. Not exactly a relaxing day at the zoo. BUT, all that aside, we had a good time. Justin had no memories of ever being at the zoo, so it was time to make a memory for him. It was fun to watch him say "I didn't realize that camels were so big!" The girls also had a good time, as they got to spend the day with one of their long time best friends! One of the coolest exhibits was the aviary in the children's section of the zoo! The birds were so comfortable with people that they often would land on us and hang out a while! We even heard and saw a kookaburra! So cool! I was able to get some awesome pictures of the kids holding the birds!
