Dallas Zoo

Debbie and I went to Greenville last weekend and had a great time.  As usual.  We spent Saturday at the Dallas zoo then went back to Tara's to watch the OSU game against Tulsa.  A game that did not start until around midnite.  One of John's coworkers came over to watch the game.  Steven and Heather stayed as long as they could.  I think they left about 30 minutes before the game started.  Anyway, here are some photos from the zoo.

Walking in.

Always read the fine print.

Lots of people feeding the giraffes.

John bought some lettuce so the kids could feed the giraffe.

Evie and Maggie feeding the giraffe.

Chester did not have any Cheetos.

Checking out Poomba Junior.

Tara's friend, Shawna, and her family were at the zoo, also.  Tara, Shawna and her mother are watching the kids play on the elephant statues.   Shawna's little girl is on the small elephant statue.

Debbie searched all over the place for a Coca Cola cooler and there is one on the Rover!

Oliver checking out the zoo map.

Shawna's daugher and Evie.

Wonder if she said, "Yes"?

We went into the aviary to feed the birds.  One of the birds was pilfering a woman's purse.

The birds are very tame.

The bird was on Tara's head just before I took the photo.

My favorite animal.

I was the last one in. She was standing there with her daughter. Just as I stepped in, the bird flew down and landed on her purse. Her daughter said, "Mom, there is a bird on your purse." The woman turned around and the bird didn't move. Just kept pecking at something in her purse. Dunno what happened after that cuz I went over where you guys were with the birds.
