My parents and my sister came last week during their Fall Break to visit us. I had to teach on Thursday so they kept Mason for me. I felt bad leaving them, but I don't think I was the main reason for their visit anyway! They took Mason to lunch and then to the park to play. By the time I got home Mason was completely worn out and asleep.
My mom let Mason put mascara on while she was putting her make-up on. He loved it and now he throws a fit because I won't let him do the same thing. Thanks, Mom!
Zoo #1: On Friday my family and I decided to go the the Fort Worth Zoo. It was great, and we had such a good time! I think the thing I was most impressed with was the Primate Exhibit. Usually you go into a stinky, cramped room and look through the glass in order to get an akward glance at a gorilla and that is if you are lucky. This was just the opposite. There was tons of trees, waterfalls, and rocks and you could see all of the monkeys and gorillas so easily. There were also so many of them, and you could watch them play and interact with each other. So cool! Anyway it was a great day and we left completely worn out.
Mason's favorite was the penguins. He loved watching them swim.
Zoo #2: Jonathan did not go with us on Friday so when we were discussing what we wanted to do on Saturday he suggesting riding the train to the Dallas Zoo. He has a pass that he uses to go to work and it only cost $3 for my ticket. Anyway, I thought Mason would really like the train ride so I was all for it. Why not go the zoo twice in one weekend? Mason loved the train, and he also had fun at the children's zoo which they don't have at the zoo in Fort Worth. Okay, so we are on our way home, worn out and anxious to put Mason down for a nap. We are almost to our stop when we realize that both sets of our keys are in my purse which is locked in the trunk. Eventhough I was soooo frustrated and tired, everything ended up working out okay. We checked the bus schedule and it was coming in fifteen minutes. This was perfect considering it only comes once an hour on the weekends. We waited and rode it home then Jonathan had to ride the bus back to get my car (We didn't have an extra key to his car). The buses are a tad skanky, but it wasn't too bad. Jonathan said I got the full DART experience--I'm so glad! Crazy day, but it could have been a lot worse! 
Kissing the gorilla on the lips. No germs I'm sure.
