The kids' grandparents gave them a zoo membership for Christmas.
Claire and I took Chris on his last day of vacation. (Nathan was at a friend's house...we didn't just leave him behind!) Chris hadn't been to the Dallas zoo in about 12 years. It used to be a pretty pathetic zoo, but they have made some wonderful improvements over the years. He was shocked...it didn't even look like the same zoo to him! One of their improvements is the new Africa area...
Another one of our favorite areas is the aviary in the kids part....
The thing my kids like best about this zoo, and why I wanted a membership there instead of Fort Worth which is closer, is that they have a nature exchange. You can take it nature items, trade them in and get points that you can spend getting an item someone else traded in. They have some very cool stuff there and my kids LOVE it! I'll have to take pictues inside the nature exchange next time we go. :)
And don't forget...today is Tiggerific Tuesday at the Magical Mouse Schoolhouse so bounce on by to join the blog hop!
