San Antonio Zoo Overnight

While Michael's sister Ludy was in town we had signed up to take the kids on the Cub Scout overnight at the San Antonio Zoo. Within about an hour of arriving (and after having slept most of the drive there), it was apparent that Tyler had a fever and wasn't feeling well. Daphne really wanted to stay because she loves animals and so Ludy drove back to Austin with Tyler while Daphne and I stayed and hitched a ride back with the Davis family.

The zoo staff brought out some animals to touch
such as this tegu lizard.

Always hamming it up!

The kids had to try and guess which skulls belong to which animals.

Our little monkey tries to climb everything.

We did a night time tour of some of the nocturnal animals
long after the zoo had closed to the public.

Ready for bed- we slept in the Africa Live exhibit

Daphne originally wanted to sleep next to the exhibit with
this large snake but it was near an exit light that says on
all night so we slept next to a dwarf crocodile instead.

We watched some very playful big cats in the
morning before the zoo opened.
