Mommy! He's Eating The Squirrel!!!
Next on the Summer to-do list were the zoos. After already visiting the Dallas Zoo, it was time to pay our furry friends in Fort Worth a visit. The place was huge and held its own against the Bronx Zoo. We saw apes, baboons, elephants, hippos, rhinos, tigers, bears...you name it, we saw it. The highlight of the day however came at the Cheetah habitat.When we first arrived, the two cheetahs were lazily resting in the bamboo thickets. Dad noticed a squirrel frolicking about and asked, "That's funny, I thought cats chased rodents." Bored, we started to leave when all of a sudden we heard a loud roar. In the blink of an eye, one of the cheetahs darted 25 yards and snatched up the squirrel much to the delight of the adult witnesses, and to the horror of the younger audience! Stupid squirrel.
Said cheetahs
Slightly nervous that the rhinos are right below me.
Rhinos!
A white tiger!
Nervous?
Looks delicious.

Fayte smooches her souvenir
We stopped and got Fayte some boots from the Justin factory on the way home.Later on that week, we visited the Dallas World Zoo and Aquarium, an indoor rain forest right in the middle of Downtown Dallas. Complete with waterfalls, lagoons, imported plants and rocky terrain, you really feel like you're in the Amazon. While it was really cool seeing all the exotic creatures in a realistic environment, we felt it was a bit overpriced. It costed more than twice as much as the Ft. Worth Zoo and there were only a quarter of the animals. Regardless, it was still a good time.
One BIG cat
Upon seeing this creature, Fayte squealed, "Mmmmm Pasta!"
Tortuga!
Happy Feet
