Dallas Zoo Two- The Day of the Deluge

Saturday morning we cleaned the church.  Afterwards we decided to put our zoo pass to use and spend the day at the zoo.  The zoo was having a Cinco De Mayo event so there were fun, free games and activities available.  The kids had a great time in the tiger bounce house and inflatable snake maze/slide. We were able to see the Reptile house and the Ghost of the Bayou. We caught the seasonal butterfly exhibit and as part of our membership we got 4 free passes for the monorail so we went on the tour of Zoo Africa as well.

Unfortunately after 4 hours of fun our trip was cut short by a major downpour.  BUT, never fear, a few days ago I had purchased some emergency rain coats for just such an experience.  I love the rain and actually like walking in a warm spring rain storm, but this was more than just a rain storm.  As we waded throw water up to our ankles we decided to head home a little early. Rusty decided this was a good moment to document our trip so you can see some really sad faces below.

In spite of the rain we had a great time and because we have passes a little rain is really nothing to cry about.  We will go back and see the rest of the zoo on trip three.
