Where the Wild Things Are

Jack has become fascinated by animals lately.  To celebrate my birthday we took a family trip to the Ft. Worth Zoo.  It was a beautiful, not-too-hot September Saturday and we had a great time!

Jack spent 95% of the day on Daddy's shoulders.  You can see better that way. ;-)   And Daddy is such a good sport he didn't mind two little grubby toddler hands clutching his cheekbones all day.

Pete and Repeat, as my mother would say.

 LOOK!

Jack could watch the animals ALL day long.  Even though it was a warm day, almost all of them were out and moving.  We  even got up close and personal with a few of them.

Sic 'em!

 

Of course, after all that we needed a snack to keep us going so we tried some cotton candy.  Jack was a little skeptical at first, but he decided it was OK after all.

We even managed to squeeze in a family picture.  Don't ask me why we decided to do it in front of Boot Hill in the Wild West area.  I've been asking that question ever since we got home and I still haven't come up with a good answer.

Despite the sugar rush from the cotton candy, when we headed home this happened before we even left the parking lot.
