Dallas Zoo- Summer 2012

The weather at the end of this summer has been amazing.  It actually cools off a bit at night and for a few weeks IN AUGUST it didn't get above the upper 80's during the day.  That is UNHEARD OF and wonderful.

So I decided to have one last adventure before school starts and packed us up for a trip to the zoo.

Last fall, the flamingos had babies.  They've gotten bigger since then, but are still working on their pink plumage.
We always love going to the bird show and we showed up just in time for it to start.
I LOVE this picture. 
I was going for the one sitting so nicely on the branch when his friend flew in at just the right moment.
Hello, Toucan!
The zoo put in a new koala exhibit.  Addy's been BEGGING to go see it all summer.

Kyra girl!
The chameleon.
He was surprisingly easy to find this time.
The monitor lizard.
He was very active and kept standing up against the glass.

My girls!

Joselyn.
She and Griffin both got a little tired after lunch and took a little nap while we continued on.
A lemur.
"Lets move it, move it!"
They happened to look up and got a bit of a surprise when the train went by.
Addy trying to get taller.
She's become such a big girl.
Elephant
All the elephants were out in the "Savannah" enjoying the wide open spaces.
Off to see the giraffes.
I loved this.  They were all just chillin' and enjoying the nice day in the "Savannah".
This one is funny because right before she was having a bit of temper and a good pout.  So I picked up my camera and tried to get a picture, but she kept moving away and laughing.
