Jumbo from Africa!

We frequent the zoo often and with our membership it's a great day out with the boys that costs of NOTHING but we gain so much each time we go. I can now say I am truly proud of our Dallas Zoo with the new Wilds Of Africa exhibit. It is amazing..... We have been watching them prepare this new Savannah for the last year or so. We even timed it (not on purpose) to be there when Jenny and Gypsy were being moved from their old small quarters to their new wide open Savannah. The boys were so excited to go, they were up at 530AM that morning! They couldn't wait to wear their Africa membership t-shirts and explorer shorts (like Diego!) We had fun watching the trainers work with the new cheetah's, lionesses, and the 2 male lions (who don't have their full mane yet!) G&G fed giraffes lettuce and both enjoyed getting 'kisses' from and petting the ole' long necks! Their favorite part was looking for and spotting Gypsy the Elephant, who has a stumpy tail and is their favorite!! We finished our day in the gift shop (yea, like we don't already have enough plastic animals) getting some more African animals.
