Dallas Zoo

Daddy took Tuesday off from work after Memorial Day so we could go to the zoo when it wasn't so busy. Sad to say but it was the first time we have taken Junior. It was a little on the warm side, but plenty of trees and a nice breeze kept the day bearable. We mentioned to Junior that morning where we were going and what things we would see. He was extremely interested in seeing the elephant which is all we heard the first hour we were there. "Go see elephant?" If I had known that he was going to make such a big deal about it we would have gone straight there, but I decided we would go to the other side of the park first since it was smaller. At the first side of the park is a monorail that we took around to see some animals that walking otherwise not allow us to see. Daddy and I came to the conclusion that the whole park should be like that. It sure was relaxing! When we finally made it to the side with the elephant, she was not out in the habitat because they were changing out her things. We were only able to see her through a window into her stall where they kept her. They told us that she would be out later that afternoon so we thought we would check back later. So of course from that point on all we heard again from Junior was "Go see Jenny? No Jenny?" At this point we had found out the elephant's name was Jenny. After we visited all the other animals and had checked back twice we found out that we were still not going to be able to see Jenny. Junior was disappointed and will sadly tell you if you ask him "No see Jenny." Poor guy. All he wanted to see was an elephant and he could barely see her through the windows. :(

I forgot to mention that we rode the DART down to the zoo and that was also a treat in itself for Junior. Click on the picture below to see the zoo and DART fun!
