Giraffes, Flamingos, and Elephants, oh my!













With spring being threatened by the fast approaching summer heat, we took advantage of another great day of desert weather by going to the Reid Park Zoo. Yes, of course we have been there many, many times now but today was special because Grandma-nama was with us! And, of all the days I have been to the zoo (during the week), this was the busiest I have seen it at 9:15am! Yes, we were blessed to share the animal scenery with buses and buses full of elementary school children on field trips. Having the new elephant habitat open added to the crowds, I guess.
Brandon was excited to show grandma-nana around and Mason just sat back in the stroller and took it all in! Today, Brandon's favorite animal to watch was the otter (which we had to visit several times) and Mason loved to watch the giraffes. As expected, after about an hour of roaming the zoo, Brandon announced, "I wanna go home, Momma", which meant our zoo experience for the day was done! Mason didn't even make it out of the parking lot before he fell asleep!
