Marcus wanted to go visit his animal friends at the FW Zoo so we had the open day and spent it there. The animals were very active today...probably the best live animal action we have yet to see. The gorillas were walking around and eating fruits. We watched two gibbons (monkeys) playing a great fast game of tag and putting on quite a show. Orangutans were kissing. Most of the animals were eating left over pumpkins. We finally made our way to the tigers and lions...Marcus favorite part. The white tiger was right up to the glass window pacing back and forth. It's awesome to see those animals so up close but I wouldn't want to meet them in the jungle. We stood around with the tigers and lions for a good 30 minutes. Marcus can stay there all day if I would let him. We were able to see the King of the Jungle make 2 rounds of ROARing...just to let everyone know that he is the boss. We even managed to see him mark his territory (if you catch my drift) and Marcus thought that was funny. After we had seen most of the animals, we got some lunch then hung around in Texas Wild. Marcus was promoted today to riding the carousel by himself fir the first time while I waited outside and snapped some pics. It may seem little but just yet another step to his ever growing independence. "Mommy, I can do it by myself." :( Ending the day with a train ride back to the front of the zoo and one last look at the flamingos and gorillas/monkeys. It was a great day all around...weather, animals, and lots of happy smiles from my little man!!!
