Family Day at the Zoo

This'll have to be quick, but I had to write the down before I forgot.

Todd took the day off today so we could have a "Family Day." We spent the morning together, hanging around, went out to lunch at Alamo Cafe (Yum!) and then headed to the zoo to introduce the zoo creatures to what real wild animals are about. Our kids definitely take the cake in the wild animal department.

We combed the zoo, looking at everything from a Bald Eagle (I've never been so up close to one -- amazing!) to the biggest Catfish you've ever seen.

We took a turn down a raised walkway to look at a habitat filled with a number of different Cranes. We came upon one that was enormous -- his head was right at level with our feet. If he'd been standing next to me, I am sure he would have reached past my chin.

Devin looked over the railing at him and let out a Devin's Doozie.

Wow! That's a heck of a duck!

Have a great weekend!
