I did not work today because the middle schools had an early dismissal - not sure why, but I didn't argue. So what's Miss H to do? GO TO THE ZOO, OF COURSE! The day began with morning showers but the sun peaked through the clouds and by noon it was an absolutely gorgeous, cloud-less day...the perfect day to visit the Fort Worth Zoo. Being Wednesday, it's also half-price admission! Sweet deal.
On Saturday, the zoo opened it's $20 million Museum of Living Art (MOLA) and it is AHHH-mazing! This place holds some 5,000 species of snakes, lizards, and other reptiles, many of them endangered, and is an architectural masterpiece. Among the scariest, creepiest, and slimmiest animals include a 15-foot-long saltwater alligator, a King cobra snake (that lost it's layer of skin yesterday and it's still in the cage - cool!), and a kimono dragon. Thank goodness for three-inch-thick plexiglass, this place houses some scary creatures!!!!
Of course, a trip to the zoo wouldn't be complete without lions and tigers and bears - OHHH MYYYY!
The highlight of my zoo trip occured at the cafe while standing in line to get a drink. Two small boys, I assume brothers, were standing next to their Mom, who was ordering their lunch. While waiting, they took each others hands, bowed their heads, and prayed, "Thank you, Jesus, for our chicken nuggets. Amen." PRECIOUS!!!!!!
