Fort Worth Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa

We headed to the Fort Worth Zoo on Thanksgiving eve because the weather was absolutely gorgeous and it was half price day - bonus! We saw what all can fit in the stomach of an alligator and the importance of not throwing trash into any body to water. Tyler did not believe me when I told him he could fit into that alligator.







Tyler looks so big walking on ahead of us all by himself.








This orangutan waved at Tyler but I missed the photo - I took one anyway just to remember him. This guy was hilarious just watching all the people up above him wave and try to get his attention by hooting and whistling. His friend came by a little later to help pick his nose and clean his teeth.




Tyler and Grandpa enjoying a little play time with sand and building a sand castle. Grandpa showed Tyler how to stuff and flip over and dump. Tyler did not pack in the sand that well, but he got the idea.









We also saw the penguin exhibit - which was neat because they were getting fed by their caretaker and were all busy eating and then swimming around. They were very talkative too.









Tyler couldn't wait to see the flamingos - he even asked if we could have our picnic right by them. He didn't remember how stinky they were until we were right by them. What a wonderful way to spend the day before Thanksgiving.
