What to do on Labor Day? A visit to the zoo, of course! We headed for the Dallas Zoo on Monday morning to take advantage of the cooler weather. I haven't heard many nice things about the Dallas Zoo - the deadly gorilla escape/attack, the lonely elephant debacle, the clientele/locale - but we were pleasantly surprised. The animals were plentiful, the exhibits were fine and it was easy to get in and out with a toddler.
Linc had to get dressed in his dinosaur outfit to get in the spirit!
He was amazed by the turtles. I couldn't think of what a turtle "says" so he just stared in silence.
The alligators were a little creepy. Actually the entire reptile house was a little creepy, but we were determined to see every inch of the zoo!
Daddy and Linc waving to the monkeys. This was definitely his favorite part. Linc made the monkey sound all morning!
The new "Wilds of Africa" exhibit was great. We saw elephants (4!), a giraffe, tigers, and many more safari-like animals.
We had a fun visit to a "real" zoo! I hear the Fort Worth Zoo is really great, so we'll have to check it out soon. I guess I better figure out what a turtle says!
