Today we went to the Dallas Zoo for "zoo school". We learned all about rhinos. I am not 100% won over by the program but I can appreciate the adventure. We made lots of memories today. We started the morning off early. Bryan had to wake Parker because we had to be out of the house by 8am to catch the DART. Yes, that is correct, we rode the DART all the way down to the zoo during the busiest time of the day. It was.....interesting! After 18 stops and a couple hundred passengers later, we made it to the zoo on time. We first met with our teacher and waited for everyone to show up. Then we headed over to see the rhino and meet his keeper.
At the time we were there, the keeper was feeding him apples and sweet potatoes. He also showed off by urinating (interesting I might add...), eating some hay and taking a drink of water. This rhino is 14 years old and the keeper said that rhinos can live until they are 40 or 50. It was very interesting. After this we were on our own to explore the zoo. We did this with Cheryl and Luke (forgot to mention that we did this with them....trust me, I would NOT have taken the DART by myself!!!).
