Fun in Fort Worth

Today, we visited Fort Worth and went to the Forest Park Miniature Train and the Fort Worth Zoo! Too fun!! Can I just say, I will never go to the Dallas Zoo again!

This is the Forest Park Miniature Train, and it was the absolute highlight of Jackson's day! It takes you out around Fort Worth through some parks and forest area for about 45 minutes...just perfect for my little guy. There is a depot halfway along the route, that you can stop at and play on the playgrounds or get snacks from the depot, but we stayed on because it was late in the day and I knew Jackson was about to fall over and go to sleep any minute! The route is completely shaded and had such a cool breeze, I was about to fall asleep after our long morning at the zoo!

Choo, Choo! Every time the engineer would blow the whistle, Jackson would light up and say, Choo, Choo!


He wanted to ride with his "tram-ma" (grandma)

Hi, Mommy!

Here we are at the Fort Worth Zoo...Jackson is "ridin' da turdle"

"ridin' da troc (croc)"

Here is a random little boy that saw me taking a picture of Jackson on the croc and asked if I would take one of him...Sure...why not?

My Snow White moment with the birds landing on me! Trying not to freak out so that my son wouldn't be scared...

Jackson said he was a cowboy riding the carousel

Some kind of alligator with a long snout

My little boy is growing up...I just love this picture of Mr. Independent!

What a fun day! We still haven't made our annual zoo trip! I love Ft. Worth Zoo...it's awesome but the Dallas is much better than it used to be! The bird picture is GREAT because I know you are such an animal lover!
