Visit to the Zoo

All of the Duke family gathered in Dallas this weekend and went to the Fort Worth zoo.

Yeah, Dylan loves leaves. How did you know?

The bird exhibit is so fun. The birds are not afraid to eat the seeds off the sticks...

...or let your child grab them before you can stop it:

Dylan crawled after this bird and it just hopped around...

until it flew away in the direction of my head. I stumbled backwards in surprise but caught myself. Pretty funny.

This lion fascinated all of us with its loud roar:

Case in point. Tommy's too intrigued to turn around:

We went to the reptile house:

This tiger was pacing very close to the glass with hungry eyes.
Danny decided to 'play' with it...

so it 'played' with him:

We saw a couple of cute monkeys in the trees playing peekaboo:
That night we had an early Christmas since we are all scattering for the end of December. Dylan loves his new toys:

It's fun to watch the kids interact with each other. Dylan used to just observe or do his own thing, but he has started to jump in with them. Sorry, kiddos, your toys aren't safe anymore!
