One of Zoe's must do activities this summer, was going to the Fort Worth Zoo. We checked it off our list a couple weeks ago, when some friends from church asked us to join them. Lucky for us, they had memberships, so we got a discount on our tickets. 

Now, I grew up in Denver, going to the Denver Zoo. If you have not visited the Denver Zoo of a zoo of similar caliber, then you my friend should get to one asap. I didn't realize as a child what a good zoo we had and kind of took it for granted. While the Fort Worth Zoo is no Denver Zoo, it was definitely a great experience, with plenty to see and do. 

We happened to go on one of the hottest days this summer, which meant my clothes were soaked in sweat 2 and 3 times over. However, the Fort Worth Zoo has attempted to tackle the heat with lots of big trees growing over the walking areas, meaning plenty of shade and misters spouting cool water in several areas. While these conveniences didn't stop us from sweating, they definitely made our 5 hour day more pleasant. High Five Ft. Worth! 

I didn't take a ton of pictures because I really just wanted to enjoy the day. We saw some animals I had never seen before, and plenty of adorable zoo babies. 

One of my favorite sections, which I didn't take pictures of, was the Texas Wild area, set up like an old wild west town. They had an interactive puppet show, petting farm, and indoor exhibits with activities for the kids.
