Today we went to Ft Worth to ride the Ft Worth Miniature Train that is located right by the zoo. It was SO fun and SUCH a beautiful day for it, Jackson adored every single minute of it!
I wish we would have found it sooner b/c it really is a fun time on days in the fall and early Spring. It's a 45 minute or so ride where the kiddos can see the lakes with turtles and other little fish on the way. At 3.5 yrs old it really is a great adventure for the kiddos, we will be going again soon!
After the train ride was complete we headed over to the Zoo. Jackson and his little friend Ian had a blast together running around the zoo, looking at the animals and getting their energy out!
The Zoo has a new exhibit this year for reptiles. It's amazing. So many different species of reptiles to see and even PET! There is a table in the middle of the exhibit where a zookeeper stands with an animal. When we passed by the first time he had a tarantula and two stick men which Jackson LOVED and kept trying to pet. The zoo keeper held the animals at bay though as you never know how animals will react to a 3.5 yr olds not so gentle touch. On the way out of the exhibit there was another animal on display, a "milk" snake! Jackson has never touched a snake before so he was amazed to get up close and personal and to pet it of course! What a great day for learning and discovering new animals with fun friends! We will hopefully be going back soon!
Enjoy the pictures!
BTW..Jackson was really not in the mood for pics on the train which is why you don't see a lot posted from the train..oh well!
The Ft Worth Mini Train, so fun!
