While Tim and Bran were in town we decided to hit up the nearby Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. What a fantastic place! Zoo's in my past included a couple penguin, some monkeys that were always scratching their butts and a couple birds here and there. This place was so much more than I'd expected! The park itself is surrounded by thousands of trees and shrubbery, making it almost jungle-like. Mind you, a tree in Killeen is few and far between so it was refreshing to see some live greenery. The animals were huge and exotic which made us all feel like kids experiencing something new. Every scene brought ooh's and ahh's from all of us. Save for the 108 degree day, it would have been perfect. Rylee was a champ the whole day and really toughed out the heat. The minute we walked in her cheeks got red and I started to strip her down. By the end of the day my poor redneck (and red-faced) child was stripped to her diaper and covered in water we kept pouring onto her to keep her cool. Right before the park closed she finally let out her frustration but fell fast asleep once she was strapped into her carseat in the air conditioned car.
