~ A trip to the Texas Zoo ~

Dawn and I decided to take the children to the Texas Zoo on Sunday. It is a small zoo but the munchkin's enjoyed see the small variety of animals.

Blue-billed duck. They have a small bird sanctuary where the birds run around freely and you can take photos without looking through netting or mesh. I love this!

Woodduck


Rosetta Spoonbill



Great Horned Owl

Alligators


No it's not an animal but a Soda machine...and they are enthralled! Yikes!!

Feeding the goats ( I hate goats!)



Badger

SandHill Crane

Red fox

Bobcat

Anole Lizard

Dawn and Trey looking at the tiger. You know those harness's work pretty good! LOL...

I had to throw one YUCKY one on here...yes a snake and as you can see he is getting ready to shed...the eyes have dried membrane around them.

We had a good time and I was able to take plenty of photos as you can see :o)
