Trip to Dallas Zoo

Well we made it to the Zoo today!! And it turned out to be a GREAT day for it! Unfortunately our friend George and her daughter Jessica were unable to join us. She had a remodeling project on her house being done that she wasn't expected to be dealing with today... Hopefully we'll get to meet up soon with her! We met up around 9:30 and it was a little muggy at first, but very cloudy and and not really hot. The kids had a great time! We spent about 4 hrs at the zoo, only walking through 1/2 of it. The Dallas Zoo has this great Children's area with a section that has this little wading river for the kids to play in. We spent a lot of time there! We did the Carousel ride before leaving, then went to McDonald's to let the kids play and have lunch. My friend Kristi had another little girl with her, who is just the sweetest little thing... Here are some pictures of our day..

Jeff stayed at home while we went trying to finish up the game room. He's been painting it, and today had a friend come over to help. Kevin sketched an image of Babe Ruth on one of the walls for Jeff. Kevin is such a great guy. I'm glad Jeff was able to hang out with him for the day. Jeff went to school with Kevins wife Carol Anne, they've known each other for years. Kevin was in our wedding as well... Kevin, Thank you for your help! I'm hoping to get to bed early tonight! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend.
