The Zoo!

We went to the Dallas Zoo with the Cook's today. It was a great day. We visited their new exhibit which is similar to the Wild Animal Park outside of San Diego. The highlights of the day were: feeding giraffes, feeding goats, and playing in the play area (getting soaked in the water).

The most amazing exhibit was the cheetah exhibit. They built one wall so there is a jeep with the driver seat exposed to the humans and the bed of the jeep (flat area on the back) inside the pen. There is (of course) a VERY thick glass wall seperating us, but it brings you right up, close with the animals. We were there at lunchtime and the staff chained a big, meaty bone to the bed of the jeep. So, there were 2 cheetahs sitting right there gnawing on the bone for a long time. Stephanie and Josie sat on the seat in the jeep staring at the cats. It was amazing. I will try to get the picture from Jessica.
