More Fun with Grandma & Kathy - The Dallas Zoo

After our visit with them last week, Grandma and Kathy left and went down to Austin and San Antonio to visit more family. Then they came back to DFW to spend more time with us Dallas folk. So the Monday after they returned, Jonathan and I met up with them at the Dallas Zoo! We had such a fun time and took lots of pictures!
P.S. - there are actually pictures of me in this one AND you get to see my big old belly! :)

Riding the bronze elephant.

He wanted to get on the bigger one!

I wasn't sure what was going on with him there, he kind of seemed scared, but he snapped out of it if he was. I told him that Elephants were his daddy's favorite animal and now when he sees any elephant he says, "That's Daddy's elephant!"

Jonathan and Kathy looking for the animals...I don't think anything ever appeared, but I thought this was a cute shot!



We arrived at the giraffe's! Amazing animals! They were my mom's favorite animal and they are Kathy's favorite too!


The next 16 photo's show Jonathan's first experience feeding a Giraffe! It was a very comical! As you can tell, he fed him great on the first cracker. But on the second cracker, that tongue came out...and kept coming! And then he ended up licking Jonathan's tummy! Jonathan didn't like it so much, but now he thinks it funny! What is also funny about this is the guy in the background laughing! - Fun Fact: Giraffe's tongues are 18" long!



Poor Giraffe, he just wants a cracker! :)



Me feeding him!



Oops, I found out later you aren't supposed to pet them. Oh well.



Jonathan hitching a ride with Grandma again!



A really cool Jeep! The back half is in the Cheetah exhibit!




Not the greatest photo, but you can see the Cheetah, Jonathan and Kathy...kinda.




Then we ate at this zoo cafe where our view was looking at the beautiful lions! Lions are my favorite animal, so I was so happy with our view!



The 4 of us as we finished lunch.

We had to get on them one more time!



He is getting so big! How did that happen?




We rode the monorail through the other half of the zoo, which was pretty cool!




Kathy and Grandma




Jonathan loved it!



Jonathan, Me and Grandma saying good-bye. If you are wondering what Jonathan is doing...he was dancing and pulling up his shirt and pointing at his hip is a dance move. :)
