The Dallas Zoo!

Today I took the kids, along with our friends, Carrie & Maren, to the Dallas Zoo. We had a complete blast.
It was a pretty chilly day (as you can see by the color of Jen & Savannah's noses!) & the zoo was practically empty. So, we all had a fabulous time on our exclusive tour! Will was a total trooper, staying quietly snuggled in his Bjorn the entire time.

I enjoyed feeding the birds. Savannah, however, was a bit cautious. She practically lost it when one of the birds landed on her head!

Savannah's face to face encounter with the gorilla. (She wanted to share her carrot with him!)

The highlight of the trip: The carousel! The operator let us go around two times. Savannah chose to ride on the black panther the first time around, and on the flying eagle the second time around. Her buddy, Maren, stuck with the beautiful white horses! The girls had a blast while the moms & Will got nice & dizzy!

Hi Jen, That photo of you and your littles with the baby zipped up in your shirt was the sweetest, softest, most beautiful portrait of a beautiful, sweet mother and children I've seen in a long time. I love seeing your family grow and thrive.
Lots of love to all of you!
