We set out for the San Antonio zoo early Saturday morning with Pawpaw, Aunt Lisa, Elisha and Naomi to beat the heat and the crowds. The zoo is really becoming fun now that Kendall recognizes more animals, can say their names and the sounds they make.

To my Dad's dismay, we missed the elephant show. The next best thing is sitting on an elephant statue. I remember as a kid taking rides on the elephants. You know back before they started mauling people to death.

Kendall checking on Cousin Naomi to see how she likes the zoo.
The sights are much better from Pawpaw's shoulders. I wish someone would have let me ride on their shoulders too!
Feeding the goats at the petting zoo. Anyone know what sound the goat makes???? This isn't a trick, I'm really at a loss.

They had brushes for the kids to pet the goats. I'm pretty sure every goat in that place(about 10) got a good brushing from Kendall. She was not scared in the least bit and could have stayed there all day. Apparently, like mother like daughter....my dad has a story about me at this same petting zoo as a kid walking around and picking up the goats.

We ended our zoo trip with a 20 min. train ride around Brackenridge park. Have you ever tried to keep a 1 year old sitting down for 20 minutes without a seatbealt? That was fun!
