The San Antonio Zoo is small and easy to navigate. The kids were all so well-behaved, even in the heat! There is just enough to keep their interest and wear them out before nap time!
Vivienne (who is less than pleased at this moment), Brooklyn and Mallory pose for a picture on the Komodo Dragon statue.
When Ian and Jillian arrived, Mallory couldn't take her hands off of them! She was soooooo excited!
Brooklyn was such a good little helper and kept Mallory and Vivienne busy for a bit!
Mallory is getting braver and braver in the butterfly house. She really WANTS to hold one, but usually pulls away at the last second.
She loved this little blue butterfly!
You can see how hot she is... but she kept reaching out for butterflies!
Every so often at the zoo, they have educational stations set up with volunteers to teach the kids about animals. This station was about the Okapi, and how they use their long, black tongues to grab leaves off of trees. They gave each child a long tube sock and told them to grab only ONE kind of leaf with their "tongue". Mallory and Trevor had a great time!
The next station was about the prairie dogs and how they all work together to accomplish big tasks. Each child was assigned a color of ball, and worked together to sort them into separate buckets. Callie and Brooklyn were a big help for the smaller kids!
You can barely see the elephant in this picture, but all the kids love to see her!
So glad to have such sweet and cherished friends living so close to us during this difficult time that we are separated from Charles. Thank you so much for all you have done, and continue to do to fill our days and hearts with happiness! We love you, and can't wait until our next adventure together!
