SA Zoo & Julie

 Caleb was working on Saturday so we took a trip on Friday night to San Antonio to stay with Julie and family.  Gloria fell asleep in the car and I saw horrors flash through my eyes of what would come and they did but life goes on.....We got there and Asher enjoyed showing us his room and the fun stuff outside his house.  We had a yummy dinner and read stories then put the kids to bed, except Gloria who was wide awake.  The adults chatted and watched apple trailers (looks like lots of good movies coming up this holiday season!)  I went to sleep before Gloria and all were up at 6am.  We had a nice breakfast then headed to the zoo.  There was a marathon so tons of people trying to park, but we got to the doors right before opening.  Julie has season passes so they know the drill.  We walked quickly to the back to the petting zoo...
 besides the workers, goats and pigs we were the only ones there.  We brushed and petted the animals before heading into the rest, including tons of great animals, many of which normally only sleep that we got to see awake (it was early and cool)
 There is a kids play area, we saw pretty much everything and its a big zooo...
 and near the end, by the butterfly posing area, Gloria finally lost it because she was so tired, but as per Julie's smart plan we were near the front, and walked out to the cars.  Nice lunch at their house and then we were on the road to home.
this is outside Julie's home to show she was there since she wasn't in any of the zoo pictures!
