the zoo in Waco is AWESOME. Mostly because when you have kids under 5 years old - it's really hard to see an entire zoo in one day. Austin has a zoo of sorts - but it is a rescue zoo. As much as I appreciate what they are doing in rescuing the animals....it is not the same zoo experience. San Antonio Zoo is great but it is still "far away" and ginormous for little legs.
We had heard good things about the Waco zoo and Kate had a jar full of change she had been collecting (i.e. stealing from my purse) so off we went to try it out. The cousins came too and the whole things was a great time!
this is kate daydreaming about something while we chilled at the playground/picnics area - which was really shady and nice. PLUS its right in front of some of the exhibits...
Of course kate is going one way on a giant snake sculpture and Judah is going the other - they come to meet in the middle and instead of just going around each other... they head butt. Judah's noggin is harder and bigger but Kate's will power and determination are unbreakable.
Aunt Rach was super knowledgable and read all the little info plates and answered all the curious questions. I mostly took pictures (until my lens broke and literally fell out off the camera, yikes.) and got everyone in trouble by suggesting we act like the animals... which is annoying to others I learned.
