We took Sullivan to the San Antonio Zoo this past Monday. We are in the midst of an early heat wave here in Austin this June so it was pretty hot but we had been planning the trip for several weeks and decided to go anyway.

Grandmommy Judy joined us for the trip and we had a blast. The SA Zoo is a really great zoo with lots of neat things for kids under 5 to enjoy. They had a butterfly exhibit and some of Sullivans favorites animals… crocodiles, snakes, and elephants. We also saw lions, tigers, bears, and a bald eagle as well as fed some Lories who landed on my shoulder and hand and tore a hole in my shirt. We rented a big red wagon and rolled Sullivan around while he casually took in all the sights. There was an indoor play exhibit for young kids that we explored for a few hours which allowed us to escape the 100 degree heat for a little bit. Then Damon and Judy took Sullivan on a train ride at the very end before we drove back to Austin. We’ll have to take Crawpaw Kerry down to this zoo to show him the big giant snakes.
