We had a wonderful day at the Fort Worth Zoo today. We couldn't have asked for better weather and the boys were both on their best behavior. The company was also perfect ... we met Grandma and Grandad Rankin, Aunt Kim, cousin Aaron, Aunt Helen & Uncle Mark and cousin Hayley there. Kim's previous work experience teaching preschoolers at the zoo came in quite handy as she made an excellent tour guide. (Thanks Kim!) Everett was very excited to see the animals and couldn't move from one exhibit on to the next fast enough. The only time he stood still for longer than a minute was to feed the birds. He seemed most impressed by the lion who came out and put on quite a show for us. Pryce was a trouper, remaining content in his carrier for the whole day and napping occasionally. When we left, Everett fell asleep within minutes of us getting into the car ... only for us to wake him 20 minutes later to meet the family for a yummy lunch (and yummy margaritas) on the beautiful patio at Joe T Garcias. I thought we were in for trouble with a tired boy and a long wait, but he kept himself entertained, happy and only had one minor meltdown ... not bad at all for an exhausted toddler! Once we got home he asked for some milk, got on the couch and was zonked out for the next 4 hours. He only woke up long enough for us to change his diaper and put him back in bed at 9:30. Whew - what a day! We all enjoyed ourselves so much. Thanks Helen for suggesting the outing ... it couldn't have been more perfect! Here's some of the pictures we took:
