Johnson City Zoo and The Wildflower Center

We were blessed with such beautiful weather this spring, so we spent most of our Thursday morning playdates with Francie outside. We spent lots of time at our favorites (zilker park, the zoo, our neighborhood parks and pools, etc). We also tried a few new things. One was the Johnson City Zoo - an exotic preserve which rescues different types of endangered species and cares for them. They do safari tours where you take a ride through the natural habitats of all of the animals and get to pet and feed them. They also have a great petting zoo for the little ones. The girls of course had a blast! I wasn't paying close enough attention on the tour, and when I turned around Charlotte's arm was halfway down a camels throat!! We both panicked a bit but silly Charlotte was over it as fast as it happened. She still talks about the camel that tried to eat her for a snack! Thankfully they don't actually bite!

We also spent a morning at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. It was beautiful. I didn't get many pics after the camera fell off the stroller and broke the lens.... thank goodness my husband is the warranty man.




















Wildflower Center... of course they found the only bit of water in the place and this was the highlight of their trip. Charlotte got her dress wet so she insisted on hanging it over the stroller to dry while she walked around in her bloomers. Silly girl.
