The San Antonio Zoo

Today, we got up early and headed to San Antonio to go to the zoo. I was REALLY excited to take Em to see all the animals and was hoping that her reaction would be priceless. I think Em had a good time, but T and I were pretty disappointed with the zoo. The last 2 zoos that T and I have been to are the San Diego Zoo and the Bronx Zoo. Both of which have way more funding and as a result better facilities. It was not that we had a bad experience, we just had REALLY high expectations. Em's got really excited about the turtles, the fish, the monkeys, birds and butterflies. Those were the things that moved around and interacted with her the most. I am guessing that as she gets older, the bigger animals will be of more interest to her. Today---bless their hearts, they were all being quite still because of the heat. Wow...This was a bronze of a Komodo Dragon. It was pretty close to the size of the KD that they had at the exhibit.

We went into the butterfly house and Em sat on the bench and was tickled when she realized that there were butterflies flying all around her.

I LOVE daddy-Emma behind shots!

It was HOT and we needed to stop and take a drink break.

We stopped at the petting zoo, which was really just a goat petting zoo.

Ahhhh...Look at all the "Bubbas". Em's sitter has a turtle named Bubba. So....Emma now sees turtles and says "Bubba Turtle".

The toddler area had a fun fish tunnel.

The 3 of us were ready to head home after seeing all of the animals!!!! Em was asleep in a matter of minutes
