1st Trip to the Zoo

Nestling down in the car with her new penguin after her first trip to the zoo. We didn't make it out of the parking lot prior to Addison falling asleep. She had a blast. Addison loves animals just like her parents.
Getting sleepy on the way back to the car. Addison was happy the whole day at the zoo, but she definitely slept well that night

Face to face with a komodo dragon, the world's heaviest living lizard


The fort worth zoo has an aviary. Georgia has all the great pictures and I will get them to you shortly, but you can purchase a stick covered in bird seed. All the birds know and they land on your stick to eat. Addison loves birds, but she wasn't to excited about sharing her stick :) Addison held her stick right against her chest so the bird's couldn't land on it. They then started landing on my head.........which of course was nothing short of exciting for all of us


Watching the birds

Tsabo is the big lion at the fort worth zoo. Addison roared with him several times

Checking out the reptile exhibit

This exhibit has exotic birds


Addison was interested in all of the animals

The greater flamingos

Enjoying the train ride

Hanging out with the Alligator

Addison loved the Merry Go Round. By the end of it, she had ridden 3 horses


Checking out a wart hog

Checking out the goats


It was a close one between the monkey's and the penguins, but I think this was Addison's favorite exhibit. The penguins gave her tons of attention and they are just so cute

Kangaroo


Turtle........I think I made a couple moms nervous when I took this picture :)


Who knows? I think this was as statue of the worlds largest ant hill or something


Baby Giraffes

Elephant


The hippos wouldn't come up out of the water. We all waited patiently and then decided we will check them out on our next visit to the zoo


Diane, Megan, Georgia, and Addison hanging out in front of the elephants
