Alphabet Animals at the Zoo

"Animals, animals
All at the zoo...

Come to see the animals
And they can see you ...

A is for the Alligator
B is for the Bear
C is for the Caterpillar
Creeping everywhere..."
- John "Kinderman" Taylor





With the holiday parties and family gatherings coming to an end, we were able to have our first play date today with all of our old friends. We all met up at the Fort Worth Zoo this morning to see the animals in action. The children gazed with wide eyes as we strolled by each habitat. Most of the animals were outside soaking up the rays.


After 3 hours of wonder and awe, we headed across the street for a quick picnic and to ride the Forest Park Train, our favorite Fort Worth attraction. A 40 minute train ride along the Trinity River and a box of popcorn can bring a smile to any child's face.







We concluded the day baking and decorating animal shaped cookies at Grandma's house.
