Dallas Zoo

We gave Port the map and told him that he was our leader. He took his job VERY seriously!

Brian got a wagon so no one wanted to ride with me.

It didn't last too long, thanks to the heat:-)

The first animals we saw were penguins. Port said, "Oh I wish Sutton were here! He LOVES penguins!" We decided we would take a picture for him.

The Dallas Zoo had an incredible Africa section. They had a part where you could feed the giraffe, the kids LOVED it!

We stopped to cool off and grab some lunch. When we walked in we realized that the indoor of the restaurant was a window into the lion cage! The lions ate watermelon while we had lunch!

The kids decided we needed some watermelon just like the lions!

We ended up at the Children's Zoo. Brian said, "we knew that it was just a matter of time..." I look over to find Haynes laying face down in the water! We were so hot it was a perfect way to cool off:-)

We convinced the kids to get out of the water with some icy's. They had the strongest red food coloring I've ever seen!! We were dyed red for the rest of the day!

Port found this rainbow on the ground. He yelled, "Look Mom! I'm standing on God's promise!" I love it!

Brian promised the kids a ride on the carosel as we left. Ella rode a horse (she loves horses), Port rode a lion, and Haynes grabbed this tiger. Haynes was hilarious because he sprinted to the tiger and managed to get on all by himself! I was super impressed!

We can't wait to go back to the zoo when it's a little cooler to see the rest:-)
