San Antonio Zoo!

Welcome to the zoo! I LOVE this place!

In front of a Hippo Hiney

Jaguar Encounter

Chasing Butterflies with Emily at the "Catterpillar Flight School"

March 13 was a beautiful spring day, so we went to the San Antonio Zoo with our good friends Deb Ashcraft, and Ginger, Emily, and baby Claire Tapley. The kids had a great time running from exhibit to exhibit, and the moms were grateful for the extra set of hands. Thank you, Deb!

Here are some of our faves from the day:

~The new "Africa Live" exhibit-LOVED the hippos!

~The butterfly house

~ Watching a zoo animal puppet show

~ Being inches away from a Jaguar (Aidan kept calling him "Baby Jaguar" from the Diego cartoon "Raaw! Raaw!"-He was definitely not a baby!)

~ Feeding the ducks and fish

~ Finishing up the day with a trip to St. Joseph's Storehouse and Bakery. The moms loved the chicken salad, chocolate cake, and chilled cucumber water, and the kids loved the fruit, chips, and chocolate chip cookies! If you haven't been to this deli yet, go. It's like a block away from the zoo, on St. Mary's St., so yummy, and the perfect way to finish a zoo trip!

Aidan Michael, It's such an adventure seeing the world through your eyes. Something new is always around the bend, and I'm loving the ride! Thank you for being my little boy.

Love,

Mommy
