Trip to the Zoo

Jeff has been off this week so we planned a last minute getaway to Lake Palestine in East Texas.  We stayed in a rustic cabin in the woods and had a nice change of scenery. Unfortunately it rained most of the time that we were there but we managed to still fit in a trip to the Tyler Zoo.  I remember going to the Tyler Zoo when we were younger and I was very impressed.

The stroller didn't last very long.  She quickly wanted "out" so she could get up close and personal with the animals.

Daddy pushed the stroller while Harper walked the rest of the way.


Checking out the birds.

Love those sweet curls!

"Come on mom - let's go look at more animals!"

Checking out the elephants

Short meltdown in front of the flamingos

"Here fishy fishy!"

Harper loves to say most of the animals names but for monkey she beats her chest and says "oh oh oh".  It's so cute!

Reading all about the Tortoise with daddy.

"Mom - can that snake get me?  It looks pretty close?"

Overall we had a great time at the zoo.  Harper really enjoyed seeing all of the animals.
