Zoo

Day number 2 of family fun was spent at the Abilene zoo!  It took us forever to get out the door despite waking up early.  We had are little highlander packed to the max, I can't wait to get a new car January can't come soon enough!  Snacks, drinks, extra clothes in case of potty accident,  baby stuff, swim stuff, and double stroller!  Plus a family of six!  We pulled into Abilene at lunch time and stopped at this amazing burger and shake joint.  Then we made it to the Zoo!  It was HOT!  I am thankful I packed a ton of drinks and sunscreen.  We managed to stay cool by stopping in the indoor reptile exhibits between looking at all the animals.  There were also plenty of shaded spots and an indoor cool room with interesting facts about the Zoo.  My favorite parts this visit was having an up close experience with the camels, the kids got to pet them.  And watching a feeding of alligators!  I felt very lucky also because the animals were very friendly and all came out to see us up close! Another fun thing the zoo added a carousel ride, train ride, and splash pad!  It makes the Zoo experience that much more fun!  Even though it was my birthday slash anniversary weekend we spent it with our children doing fun family things which is exactly where I wanted to be.
