Zoo with Zoey

Mimi and Nanny wanted to take Zoey and Mia to the Dallas Zoo this weekend, so we loaded up and went.  It was Z's first trip to the zoo.  We went to the children's zoo first.  It was really something.  There was a stream in the center of the children's zoo that the kids can play in.  Mia took off her shoes and went right in.  Half of her was soaked in no time.  Mimi also walked in it with Zoey.  Both girls really enjoyed it.  Next, they each went on a pony ride.  It was a first for both of them, and they seemed to really like it.  Mia fed some fish and wanted to go in to pet the goats.  She was having fun until she realized that she was stepping on goat poop.  The novelty immediately wore off, and she was ready to move on.  We all had a little lunch and then went to check out some of the more exotic animals.  Mia loved it as always and had plenty to comment on.  I think Z liked it.  She kept gasping and pointing at the animals.  I loved how excited she got when she saw something new.  Mia capped off the afternoon with a couple of turns on the carousel while Zoey slept in her stroller.  It was a little warm that day, but we loved spending it with family!
