Zoo Trip with Nellie

Today we visited the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco for the first time.  My friend Mallory and her daughter Nellie went along with us.  Bryan is working a 30+ hour shift today and Mallory's husband was out of town at a conference, so it was the perfect time to do something fun together on the weekend!  We set out early and got to enjoy all the animals at the zoo.  We even managed to fit in some shopping at Gymboree in Waco (we don't have one in Temple) and lunch at Jason's Deli.  Caleb and Nellie get along so well, and it helps that I love Mallory's company too!  Both of the kids (and the Mommies!) were wiped out by the time we got home.  It was a fun way to spend the beautiful morning!

Loaded up in the strollers and ready to go to the zoo!

The best tiger shot I could get


The orangutan who scared Caleb & Nellie. He was eating celery and reading the yellow pages!

I'm thankful for stroller straps!  Wild Man was trying to bust into the gibbon exhibit.

The best Mommy & Caleb pic we could get!

The kids loved riding together and playing with toys!  Caleb was not so sure about Nellie putting the teething ring on her head.  

Young love.

It looks like Mommy and Caleb had a great day at the zoo. Maybe on your next visit to Houston, we could go to the Houston Zoo.

Love,
