As you can see on Saturday Poppy literally came face to face with a giraffe at Dallas zoo.    While Drew was attending a Bible translation conference here at GIAL, we (my parents and I) packed a picnic and the babies in the car and headed to the zoo.  Drew had snagged us a bargain of a deal getting our tickets for $1 each, when originally $12.

This is the 3rd zoo I’ve been to this year so I feel like I’m becoming a zoo connoisseur and I think this was my favorite.  They had a whole section dedicated for children, where all the farmyard animals were and a nice play area with a water feature that Poppy could splash about in.  The weather is still extremely hot here so the water was perfect for cooling off, I had a little paddle myself.  Henry slept most of the time but at 6 weeks old that’s not surprising.

Here are just a few photos from the day.
