Dallas Zoo The first of many, many trips

Finding time to blog is proving harder than I hoped, but about what I expected. Kids are jumping in their beds instead of taking naps. Dishes are piled up from yesterday because we decided to go to the zoo.( I am still worn out from said zoo visit.)
I did how ever survive another day and had a great time at the zoo with my grumpy, nap needing two year olds. I even finished a ninja turtle quilt last night after they went to bed. Get this, its not needed till Saturday!!!  Usually I am up till 1 AM finishing things that are due the next day, so go me!!
After our trip to the zoo making a Mei tai style toddler carrier is my next sewing project.

My mom bought us the family plus packs so there will be a lot of zoo trips once it cools down. Go during the day. It was so peaceful and nice. there were hardly any people there, everyone was laid back and pleasant. The animals were up front and at the glass relaxing. We got the get up close to a cheetah, lion, gorillas, wart hogs and feed the giraffes. I loved it!! Wren, my animal obsessed girl, was terrified. I was shocked. She did finally get close to the cheetah and lion, but was scared of warthogs, turtles and these cute little yellow birds in the tunnel. I hope it was just because she was tired. We made it to 1/3 of the animals, my goal next trip is the goats in the children's petting zoo.
