Fort Worth Zoo
We headed to the zoo with the Goff's on Monday. Austin and Jake are 2 weeks apart so we figured it would be fun for them to go together and we don't get to see them as often as we'd like. We got there as soon as the zoo opened anticipating that it would be crowded. And we were right, they had police directing traffic into the zoo. We rode the train when we first got there and Jake was so excited (for the next two days he asked to ride the yellow train) and was really sad when we had to get off. The morning started out just a little chilly but as the day went on it really warmed up and the nicer the day got the more crowded the zoo got. I think Jake's favorites were the elephants and the monkeys. We had to drag him away from the elephant exhibit!

Dallas Arboretum
Today Jake and I headed to the arboretum with our next door neighbors, Carrie and Savannah. They invited us to go about a month ago but the weather hasn't been great on the days we had planned to go. So we finally had a nice day that we could go. We ended up meeting Carrie's family out there so we had 7 kids out there. It was a busy day there too, but it never felt crowded because there is so much space. We took picnic lunches out there and got there early so we spent about 4 hours out there enjoying the gorgeous flowers and weather! Jake loved running around free (I didn't take the stroller) and loved playing with the other kids. He made friends with everyone, until he hugged/tackled Savannah. She didn't want him by her after that. I guess we will have to work on how to gently hug our friends!
FREE!
