Lion, and Tigers, But No Bears.....Oh My!

Everyone that had to work today took today (and tomorrow) off for a little family fun!  Dad is having knee surgery on Thursday, and won't be able to do a whole lot for a good bit of what's left of summer vacation.  So, we're trying to squeeze in a couple of day trips while we still can.

Today, we headed to the Lufkin Zoo!  We loved it and I was pleasantly surprised at how handicapped accessible everything was!  We saw everything from lions, to monkey's, snakes, to exotic birds.  This was a smaller zoo so there were no elephants or bears.  We did however see LOTS of peacocks....Running freely throughout the zoo!  We'd be looking at an exhibit and look down and a couple of peacocks would be standing literally RIGHT NEXT to us!  We would often see baby peacocks trailing behind.  They were everywhere!

This peacock crossed the path RIGHT in front of me!  
Once we finished at the Zoo, we wrapped the day up with a ten minute train ride around the outskirts of the zoo.
Mom and Dad enjoying the ride!
Me and Lexi.  I couldn't get turned around in time! :-)
Kimberly and Austin...He LOVED it!

We had lunch at Cheddars (My first time there) and now we're resting up for another fun day tomorrow!  I really love this quality time we all spend together!  Pictures and details of our day tomorrow will (hopefully be posted tomorrow night!
