So we took a trip to the Abilene Zoo this week. I had heard from several different people that it was a great little zoo and we thought we would go check it out. It really did impress us and I have to say, you can't beat the price. $4 for adults and Sadie was free! We paid $1.50 for some "animal crackers" to feed the animals. You really can't beat it. Sadie had a great time. We saw monkeys, bears, rinos, tigers, and giraffes just to name a few. The coolest thing was that there was a bridge that went over the giraffe exhibit and they would come right up and eat crackers. I never knew it, but they have really long tongues. This was definitely Sadie's favorite part. We had to go back 3 times to feed them. I really liked that we were able to see everything in about 2 hours including our repeats. We also were able to eat lunch and were home by 3:30 when we all took naps. That's what I call a great day!

Here's a picture from the bottom. Sadie and Gabe are up at the top if you can make them out.
Here they are playing outside together.
And here is Sadie with Teddy's toy. They traded the toy back and forth all weekend. Sadie would finally get it and then Teddy would get it back. 
Teddy just took his toy back. 
One of Sadie's favorite spots to sit. Right next to Teddy while he ate dinner. This is her innocent face. She had just been caught playing in his water bowl. Just a note: I don't think dog food is poisonous. Not sure if she ate any, but as many meal times as she spend sitting here, I would be willing to bet she ate at least one piece while we weren't looking. :)
Here they are lounging and watching Tigger and Pooh. I think Teddy was pretty tired of having a shadow by the time the weekend was over.
