We made Ben's first trip to the Dallas Zoo on Dollar Day, July 21. Needless to say that the zoo was packed like sardines in a can and it was very hot, but I'm saying it anyway so you get the point. Two of my nieces, Rebecca and Jessinia, came, too, and if we had a bigger vehicle we could have brought more of Ben's cousins.All the animals were trying to keep cool in the shade. We didn't see the lions, but we saw donkeys, flamingos, exotic birds, small primates, camels, giraffes, elephants, penguins, cheetahs, two baby warthogs, and some other birds like eagles, owls, and hawks.
We had fun, but look forward to going when it's not so crowded and scorching. If you want to go on a Dollar Day, the next one is November 22, but like I said, you won't be seeing us there!
