We headed to the zoo today to see the rhinos bowl! How fun does that sound? Once we arrived to the zoo, no one had any idea what we were talking about. By time we decided that it was probably in the regular rhino area, we did not think we had enough time to hike there, so we decided to enjoy the zoo.
Our first stop was the aviary where birds can be fed. So cool. Walker was scared for them to land on him, but still enjoyed the area. Our next stop was a special exhibit, Stingray Bay and a 4D Sponge Bob ride. We decided to pass on the ride, and went right to the stingrays. Not surprisingly, Walker did not want to touch them. Don touched, and pet and fed them. So cool. they were quite friendly (maybe hungry?) and were not afraid of us at all. The stingrays were graceful as they swam and lurched above the water.
Our last stop was to the zoo's monorail that drives through "the wilds of Africa". It is actually a nice, cool ride and a chance to see animals in their natural habitate.
Our zoo used to be quite old and outdated, but thanks to several city 
bond elections the zoo is now fabulous. It's really too bad that many people in Dallas still think of our zoo as old and out of date with terrible caged animals - but that is so not true. I just wish it was closer so that we could go more often. Even since out last visit, many improvements have been made including beautiful grounds, statutes and more. AND we even got a super parking place!

I have only lived here 24 years!! The market was clean and full of people and yummy things to eat. We only toured one "shed" - maybe Don and I will return without Walker. We sampled cantaloupe, yellow watermelon, mango, tomatoes and cherries and came home with cherries, apricots, local honey and tomatoes. Delish!
