Spring Break- Children's Aquarium

This morning we ventured to the newly renovated Children's Aquarium at Fair Park. We have visited the Dallas World Aquarium several times and really love it, but thought the Children's Aquarium would be a nice change of pace. It was the perfect, managable size for Jacob's age and also very hands-on. He was able to see all the displays very well and enjoyed touching the Horseshoe Shell Crabs and even the Sting Rays!

Spring Break- The Zoo!

We spent the first day of Spring Break visiting the Dallas Zoo. Jacob was so very excited and couldn't wait to see all of the animals! Unfortunately, it was a bit chilly and some of the animals were not out to enjoy. Lucky for us, the giraffes were out and we spent much of our time feeding and looking at them!

Jacob was a bit frightened of the giraffes (I have to admit, they are a bit intimidating!) but we loved feeding them lettuce and getting a close up view-much better than their old habitat!

Besides the giraffes, we got to see elephants (briefly), lions (from inside a cafe, they weren't very social), the tiger (which seems to never be in view), and the monkeys. Of course, no zoo visit is complete without a ride on the carousel!

Happy Birthday Daddy!
