Y'all. Do not let the rain stop you from going to the zoo! Unless there is thunder, lightening, tornadoes...then I would think twice. But a rainy day forecast did not keep us home on the last day of Brian's vacation in May. He took off a whole week and then spent the days recovering from surgery; he had a tumor removed from his hand. Thank you Lord that the test results came back cancer-free. We got my cancer news three days later.... Anywho, I digress. Again. I do that a lot. Brian was up for the outing at the end of the week and we decided the rain could only add to the fun. With umbrellas and a covered wagon in tow (thanks Heather!) we headed to the Fort Worth Zoo and had a BLAST!
Apparently nobody else checked the forecast. We breezed past large groups of school kids and chaperones huddled under little huts during the downpours. We kept dry-ish, splashed in the puddles with our rainboots and had a great day. The new MOLA exhibit (Museum of Living Art) is amazing and takes all of the oogies out of a room full of snakes and spiders. Do not let the rain keep you at home people! This was totally worth it!
Flamingoes still rank as Caleb's favourite animal.
Love this picture!
Caleb and an elephant taking a bath in the rain.
Keeping dryish. A happy crew!
Spiderman and Buzz Lightyear raingear? Check!
Such a goof.
OH NO! SOMEBODY HELP!
Caleb to the resuce!
Victory! Super Dude saves the day!
A bunch of bird-heads.
Highlight of the day? The train ride.
We take our picutre at this exact spot every visit. Love the Fort Worth Zoo!
