San Antonio Zoo


Madelyn really wanted to ride "Simba" and during the picture she kept saying nice lion, soft, and the proceed to kiss the statue several times. Huge Lion King fan!

The day after Christmas we took Madelyn to the San Antonio Zoo. The weather was brisk and there were not too many people at the zoo which resulted in a great visit. We have taken Madelyn to the Zoo before, but it was much more fun this time, because she could better verbalize her excitement of seeing the animals and always did the cutest animal impressions and sounds. The highlight of her visit was a ride on the Breckenridge Express train that circumnavigates the zoo and surrounding parks. Madelyn loved the 20 minute ride, even though it was pretty cool. The hardest part was trying to keep her sitting down, each time the whistle blew at crossings she would jump up and mimic the conductor tooting the horn and giver her own choo-choo. She had such a great time that she fell a sleep before the car left the parking lot and slept through lunch with Grammie at Fudderuckers.
