After starting out our spring break battling a cold, we made a quick recovery (thankfully!) and headed to the zoo yesterday. The last time we visited the zoo was when Gloria was Anastasia's age, so we were overdue for a trip. Instead of heading to Houston, we decided to try the Waco zoo this time.
Stephen has been asking to see a real bear for weeks now, so he finally had his chance! He was really excited. We got to see one in action and another still sleeping.
The giant turtle. You can't tell from the photo, but this turtle could have easily given Stephen a piggy back ride.
Everyone really liked all the snakes. There were lots of them, including many native to Texas. Yikes!

Jaguar
Bison
This giraffe was really hungry. He just stood there eating the whole time we watched.
Kudu
Rhino
And the ever famous elephant. The kids asked the whole time when we would see elephants, and this ended up being one of the last animals we saw! They still remember the elephants at the Houston zoo doing handstands during their morning shower when we were there!
And some Anastasia-isms from the day:
Hih tah pah pas (Hippopotamus)
A-mango (flamingo)
Looky Dat (look at that!)
