Zoo Trip!

As most of you know, J is NOT a zoo fan.  Our local zoo ruined the experience for him when he was 4.  Don't get me wrong, our little zoo is fantastic, lots of great animals, very shaded and has a train ride to enjoy.  However, they also have free-roaming peacocks...which F-R-E-A-K my kid out!  Those birds, in turn, have created a pure bird phobia in J.  

J loves penguins...yes he knows they are birds, but he also knows they can't fly :-)

So, when Bling and her kiddos said they were headed to the Tyler zoo (peacock-free), I was happily surprised that J wanted to go.  

E took all of the great animal pics for us!

This cheetah was hilarious.  Everytime the male walked over to her, she growled at him, then as soon as he turned away she was happy as could be.  Bling liked her, ha!

Granted it was 200 degrees outside, but we all had a blast...well, ok, not totally true.  After an hour, everyone was crazy hot and thirsty but we still enjoyed the animals!  Thanks for letting us go with you, Bling :-)
