The Zoo

On Friday we went to the San Antonio Zoo which is about 2 hours from here depending on your speed. We get there at 8.00 am and it is already 80^ and about 90% humidity. By the time we leave (1.00) it is a full fledge 98^ and 98% humidity because it was supposed to rain but didn't. So remind me the next time we plan on going to the zoo not to do it in August, wait till Christmas where it will be a cool 90^. Gotta love this Texas weather. We are the only state in which one day it can be sunny and hot and the next hot and rainy.
Other than the heat and us being tired we had alot of fun. My son loved the elephants, although he seemed a little scared when they started stomping. He also enjoyed seeing all the birds fly and the monkeys climbing. They had an outdoor kids play area and wouldn't you know it, instead of playing in the teepee or banging on the bongo drum, he decides to play and push around his stroller. Ha Ha. Katherine loved everything especially the snake and lizard area, the cheetah, the lion, the tiger, the bears, oh my. She was really excited about everything. Of course Lauren was a bit fussy and had to be held for awhile but she finally grew tired enough to be put in her car seat and stay asleep for about 2 hours. So a four hour walk wasn't too bad.
I would post pictures of the zoo except that for some reason our camera isn't downloading to the computer so have to figure out that one. As soon as we get it working I will post some.
