1st trip to The Dallas Zoo

Hope and I meet Jen & Dylan at the Dallas Zoo this morning. I have always heard the F.W. Zoo was way better but The Dallas Zoo was pretty impressive. All the animals were very friendly and they had lots of kid friendly activities. We stared off by the gorilla that was almost in the stroller with Hope then we saw the butterfly exhibit. I think Hope and Dylan both liked the reptile area the best they loved the snakes & I love the shot I got of Dylan with his arm around Hope showing her the snake. Hope then got to ride a horse and go to the petting zoo she loved both of them. They have a kids water splash area that we took advantage of, Jen told me to bring a swimsuit so we came prepared to let them cool off for a bit in the water. We got some lunch then went to a 4-D Africa movie, that was about poaching? a little scary for kids but Hope loved it. She kept asking for more movie all the way home. On the way out we stopped to ride the carousal twice once on the monkey then once on the horse. We will definitely go back to The Dallas Zoo I really think that they are working hard to improve it.
