Today, we went to the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, TX (just a little way down the road from us). It was the perfect day for being outside, so I'm glad we did it. I think everyone else had the same idea too because there were a ton of families out and about. Amazingly, even with all the families and kids running around, the zoo wasn't too crowded and we really enjoyed it! I think Addy had a good time too - she liked the flamingos, the parrots and the big cats. Oh and the giraffes too! There was one giraffe in particular that was pretty entertaining - it kept sticking its neck over the fence to look at the people on the other side. We have video from today, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to post them. It's time for bed now since we're losing an hour... oh, daylight savings....
Starting in the "North America" exhibit - Bison!
With the bison.
Beautiful.
Bald eagle, sharpening his beak.
Handsome mountain lion. He was pacing back and forth, just 3 feet in front of us! Closest we've ever been to a big cat like that.

This is a dik-dik, I think he's part of the antelope family. He's so little and cute!

Hellooooo! Here's the giraffe who wanted to meet the zoo-goers.

Hi Dad!
Happy girl, loves the zoo!
Now this is a dirty elephant. He must have enjoyed rolling in the mud!

We liked this bird's crown.
Scarlet Ibis. Brilliant color!

This looks like a giant gerbil. Apparently it is the world's largest rodent or something.
Pretty parrots.
The parrot exhibit, they were out in the open!
