zoo day

Our day at the zoo, bullet style:

• Emily came with us
• It was a "cool" 94 degrees when we got there
• It was 99 three hours later when we left
• Toddlers take about 5 steps for every one adult step
• When toddlers walk, you get to see about 1/4 of the zoo in the same time as you would the whole zoo if they were riding in their stroller
• The zoo in Texas in July is fun for about 45 minutes
• We made it fun for three hours
• Madelyn loved naming all the animals
• Her excitement was worth feeling like we were in an Indian Sweat Lodge
• Emily is a fantastic big cousin and a smart little girl
• The gift shop actually has really reasonably priced items
• Neither girls loved the bird exhibit
• Maybe that means we won't have to go in there again

Despite the fun we had, we may wait until September to go back :)
