For more fun filled adventures, we headed over to the Dallas Zoo.
Tanner's been before, but just as a baby. This time, he really got into it.
His favorite animal - the monkeys.
The zookeepers had just fed them lunch and they were swinging all of the place.
We also got to watch a huge gorilla enjoy his lunch - up close and personal. The only thing separating us from the huge mammoth was a piece of glass.
She said it was even better than riding the carousel.
On the Children's section, he got to pet a live chicken.
Most of the kids were scared of the horses - but I thought I'd let Tanner get close to see how he did. Turns out he wanted to go for a ride too - so they let him.
Any like any cowboy, he was holding on tight all by himself.
To be honest, I don't think I've ever actually touched one before either -
but it was the softest thing ever.
Not nearly as exciting as the real horses, but they pretended
Tanner and Avery had fun peaking through at the chicken, lamb, and one fat pig.
The duck pond. Tanner was trying to make a statement - leave me alone!
But have you ever seen a pig that wasn't fat?
This elephant was trying to find every last piece of hay - even if it meant sticking it's nose outside the fence. It was just a few feet away.
And last but not least, the carousel ride. Tanner was having so much fun, he refused to get off. He had no concept of the ride being over and us being broke :)
But the smile, absolutely priceless.
