| On Wednesday, John took a day off so we could all go to the Fort Worth Zoo. It's half price Wednesday!
Love those gorgeous flamingoes!
Joey got sunscreen all over his face! Poor kid got bitten by fire ants at the off-site parking lot even before we got into the zoo. We were just coming out of the car, and he stepped on an ant pile. He's so nondramatic, since he has such high pain threshold, thanks to his SID/ASD.
Josie, checking out the animals so intently.
Guess what! She's looking at those elephants! Thank goodness she didn't ask to ride them this time.
Josh's all geared up to brave the heat and the animals!
Another word for zebras...... yeah, Marty! (from the movie Madagascar.)
This mountain goat just stood there like a statue begging to be photographed.
The kids enjoyed feeding the birds. These birdseed sticks cost $1 each.
John bought one each for the boys, but Josie got a couple for free because of her smart mommy! :)
They managed to lure the birds down to eat on their sticks.
There were a lot of these birds, but most of them were way up high, not caring to be fed. It's probably because they were full from the abundance of tourists feeding them.
Daddy had to lift Joey up to feed a bird.
We took a snack & water break.
Josie driving away with her animal friends.
I like my 50mm lens and I don't like it at the same time, but I think I've finally figured out how to manually focus my pictures!
Love those penguins! They look like they are having a meeting.
We all had a great time checking out different animals at the zoo.
Story of the Prince Alligator and Princess begins here.
It was love at first sight ............. she saw him, and he saw her.
"Princess, will you give me a kiss?"
"Sure, will do, my Prince Alligator!" -- he didn't change into a prince like a frog prince did, what happened?
Josh, checking out a turtle.
Joey loved the reptile house, "Daddy, look at that!"
The tree monitor said hi!
Interesting-looking lizard. I bet its head would puff up real big if it was mad!
She's enjoying herself thoroughly, even offered to carry the backpack that held the water and the snacks.
In total amazement of seeing these fun reptiles! (I'm guessing she's thinking as long as these are behind the glass, she's safe!)
She's finally in a good mood after getting over the initial disappointment of Daddy not wanting to carry her all through the zoo. (She really needs to walk more, both the boys had to walk on their own since 2 or 2.5 years of age since their younger siblings are only 2 - 2.5 years younger. She already has two extra years of pampering!)
"Would you like to share some of my candy?"
"Too bad, my mommy said you can't have any candy!"
Very beautiful looking lizard!
Josh had fun at the Fort Worth Zoo!
My favorite is seeing the flamingoes.
They seemed to really have their own personality.
Some are nonchalant, doing their own thing.
while some are bickering and fighting for their territory.......................... just like a human society. |
