2 weeks ago (before all this labor commotion began) we made a trip up to Waco to their zoo. I kind of feel bad for the city, they'll have a hard time being known for anything besides David Koresh and the massacre that happened there. But if they could be known for anything else, it should be the zoo that they have going on up there. It had gorgeous wide-open exhibits and lots of them. It also had an aquarium and a nocturnal building. I was seriously impressed with all we saw! It was also relatively cheap and so big that you didn't feel crowded in with all the other visitors. It was about 1 hr 15 from here, but well worth the drive. I'm sure we'll be headed back many times.
That is a black bear swimming around right next to the window giving us a chance for a real close-up!
They had a little splash pad and play ground which was great in the summer heat.

This is the otter exhibit, and they put a slide right through the middle so you could see the otter swimming right above you as you slide down.
The jaguar, taking an afternoon nap, again right next to the window, very cool!
They had some cultural information as well, with little tee-pee's and grass huts to explore.
What's a zoo without some giraffes?
Or the elephants?

So ya wanna know what Waco is known for? Last year i wanted to do my final report on Dr. Pepper and i found that it is the original name of Dr. Pepper and it is where it was first made. Kinda cool. Do you pronounce it Way-co or Wack-o cuz i think the second one fits my beloved DP. :)
