zoo

 My parents generously gave us memberships to the Dallas Zoo and Dallas Arboretum for Christmas.  Jake had the Monday right after winter break off from school, so where did we head?  The zoo, of course! Jake's acting like an elephant in this pic...

Riding elephants...

 Although it turned out to be a lovely, sunny day, the morning air was a little too chilly for us to see some of the African animals, but we did get to see the cheetahs up close and hear some interesting facts about them...

 Wild turtle ride!

 Not sure how much Luke liked these next two poses, but Jake is loving it!!!

 Jake said his favorite animal for the day was the eagle.  Eagles are pretty beautiful!
