San Antonio Zoo

We made out way over to San Antonio to enjoy a day at the zoo before our weather turned wintry.

Of course, our first stop was the train in Brakenridge Park.  Tatum LOVES riding on trains.

 Raleigh was awake this time too.  Well, until the clickety clacking lulled him back to sleep.

First stop: Fingos!

Zach remembers getting one of these plastic molded animals at the zoo when he was a kiddo, so he got Tatum an elephant.

This is an Okapi.  My favorite animal at the zoo.  They are fascinating!! Doesn't it look like some kind of combo of a zebra, giraffe, and horse??  It's actually most closely related to a giraffe, is solitary, and almost engangered.

We caught the elephant doing some tricks for treats.

 This guy cracked us up.  He was all sprawled out taking a nap.  I think someone forgot to tell him he's not the king of the jungle!
