The Fort Worth Zoo

A few Saturdays ago Reese and I took a visit to The Fort Worth Zoo. This was our first time to go and although it was a HAUL over to Fort Worth it was so worth it. The weather was beautiful, sunny but not hot and we really had a great day. We packed some lunch and snacks to try and keep things cheap. I don't know what it is about kids and Lunchables but this kiddo loves them. She wanted to eat hers as soon as we got there:)

After a snack we looked at the map and picked out what she wanted to see first. There was SO much to see we could go back and spend another day there. Her top priority was monkeys and elephants so we found them first.

After that we just roamed around looking at everything. Reese's favorite was this HUGE crocodile. Y'all know I am not a good photographer, and I was using my phone to take pics and there was glass there but you still get the idea:) This thing was massive..there were several kids standing staring at this thing for the longest time. This was kinda creepy!

As we were walking by the snake building I did NOT say a word and I was hoping we would just keep right on walking. I do NOT like snakes at all. I refused to go into the snake house as a kid...NEVER ever get near the snakes! But Reese noticed people going in and out and wanted to go...I told her they were snakes and it would be scary but nothing scares Reese. I considered paying a random stranger to take her in but quickly realized that was a no go so I told her I would only go if she held my hand and guided me through with my eyes closed. Ha! Little stinker thought it was hilarious that momma was scared. I'm not kidding those darn snakes will keep me awake at night....terrified!! Obviously no pictures of snakes but we did see this frog on the way out of the reptile building. Oh yeah..don't put money in him because he doesn't work!

My absolute favorite was this...

is that not the prettiest creature you have ever seen?! I love him! After that we had some ice cream, rode a train and just roamed around....

This big guy was just sitting in the window staring at Reese but he turned right when I snapped the picture. After that she said the gorilla and the crocodile were her favorites. Such a fun day with my kiddo...go check out the Fort Worth Zoo before it gets to hot!
