Zoo trip

The weather was nice this weekend so we had planned a trip to the zoo. The traffic was unbelievably crazy, and there was not even a scheduled event taking place. Every parking lot we passed on the way to the entrance was closed. The entrance was actually coned off and two police officers were directing traffic. One of the officers must have been having a bad day because he did not look happy and when my husband asked him a question, he got snappy and was downright rude. He exhibited behavior of someone who should NOT be wearing the uniform. Needless to say, we should have gotten his badge ID number and name and reported him. We were finally directed in and found a parking space relatively close. Wow. 

We had packed lunch and had our cooler full of drinks, too. While we were eating under the covered picnic area, this little guy kept coming up to my husband. The pumpernickel bread didn't go over well, but the little guy likes Doritos! LOL!

The day was beautiful and we ended up getting to see some of the big cats and a few other Texas animals that were hiding the last time we had visited. 😊

Baby Lion

Oh my gosh!! Look!! Look at how adorable this little guy is! Meet Moja, our new baby lion cub at the Fort Worth Zoo. No announcement has been made when he will be available to see, but I can't wait! This pic was in our little magazine we get every couple of months.

The Big Cats

Tomorrow is Friday and I will be at an Admin meeting all day in Arlington. This week has been absolute craziness for me between work and what has transpired with Titan.

 

I was so thankful to see 5:00pm come around. We packed up the wagon and wheelchair and headed to the zoo. It was member night and I wanted to see the Lions, Tigers, and Leopards!!! The Fort Worth Zoo's new exhibit, Predators of Asia and Africa opened June 22nd and they have done a wonderful job and the animals look like they are enjoying their new home immensely!! Oh my gosh, the clouded leopard is gorgeous!!!! 😍

It was so busy!! Even more so on a regular zoo trip day!! There were so many kids and you could really tell they were having a good time. My pictures were limited, but I am sure I will be able to get some better ones next visit.

 

Zoo visit

Swung by the zoo today again. It's so nice having a membership and be able to just drop by if we decide to just up and go. LOL. The zoo is only 15 minutes away from our house. Got 'mooned' by Bubbles today!

Impromptu Zoo Trip

Last minute trip to the zoo and tested our wagon and cooler bag. Definitely going to be a lifesaver to bring water and snacks. We visited MOLA and stayed until 5:55pm in Texas Wild and then security started running us out.. 😃 It was a bit hot today and this is nothing for Texas! LOL!

 

Yeah, when we got home from the zoo and the temp in the house is 83 degrees. Tanner said he had noticed that is was reading 75 before we left and I had made a comment that is was hot and I wasn't even outside yet. Oof. 😑

 

Hubby called On Time Experts and we were able to get a tech out fairly quickly since we are members and low and behold the compressor literally bites the dust in front of the tech. Tonight is going to be hot with no air, but since the unit is still under warranty, we are getting a new one. Time to pull out the fans!

Zoo trip!

We went to the Fort Worth Zoo today. So happy the weather was nice and it was not too uncomfortable. Baby Bruno is so cute and we finally got to see Travis!! He is so adorable! 😊 I wanted to feed the Giraffes but the Ostrich, more than likely Ruby, was the only one that wanted lettuce. Maybe next time I will get to feed them. LOL! I did get a close up of one the giraffes. I think I took over 250 pictures! 😂 Can't wait until we can go back.

If I could be at the zoo every day, I would. My first job was working here and I loved every minute of it. If I had not wanted to go into law enforcement at the time, I would have stayed and interned to be a zoo keeper. I love animals, especially elephants. I decided to purchase zoo memberships with a portion of the merit bonus that I received from work.
