Zoo Monday's Are Back

Zoo Monday's are back! Every Monday in June the zoo opens one hour early for members to come see different exhibits and talk to some zoo keepers. Our membership will expire at the end of this month so we are going as much as we can on Monday's. When we first got to the zoo they had a penguin out that we could get sorta close to and see. As we were leaving to go to another exhibit so did the penguin. He was following the zoo keeper. So cute to watch them waddle.

Caroline on a komodo dragon....okay not a real one, but it is right by the komodo dragon exhibit. Just did not think to take a picture of the real thing. Maybe next Monday:)

Eli and Elizabeth did come to the zoo for the first time ever... however they slept most of the time. It was HOT! and that heat put them right to sleep.
One great thing that Caroline likes is that the carousel ride and train ride are free on Monday's... that is the only time her mommy takes her on the rides... poor deprived child:) This past Monday Julie and Cooper came with us!

Caroline is posing in the wagon! Funny how the little things entertain kids.

Caroline has the same wing span as a barn owl.

This was not at the zoo, but it was the same day. We were sitting in our living room feeding Eli and Elizabeth when the house started to shake and we heard a rumble! It went on for awhile so we went out to see what it was. Last week we had a plane crash and thought maybe we were having another one crash. We finally saw this plume of smoke. Called some friends to make sure it was not the nuclear plant (need to know if we need to evacuate), it was not.

Instead it was a natural gas explosion. I copied this picture from WFAA.com. The flames could be seen from Greg's parents house.
