The Friday after Thanksgiving, the weather was gorgeous in Dallas so we got up, had breakfast, packed a picnic lunch and all headed out to the Dallas Zoo.
During my childhood, I spent some time each summer at my grandmother's house, who lived near the zoo. It was a tradition of ours to go there together during that yearly visit. My parents have continued that tradition with their grandkids and take my nephew and niece each summer during "Mimaw and Pipaw Camp." However, I hadn't been to the zoo in probably 20 years. A lot has changed since my last visit there but some things haven't. So, in addition to it being a great day with family, a fun time seeing cool animals, a nice outing to enjoy the weather, it was also a bit of a trip down memory lane. I really enjoyed getting to share some of those childhood memories with Mike and make some new ones with my son.

It was a full day of fun. However, we all still had enough energy that night to play some Rock Band. That was fun! The highlight of the evening was watching my Dad struggle to try and play the drums. Sorry, Dad, but it was a little funny!
Rock Band!
