2nd Post: Frank Buck Zoo

We woke up Saturday morning and it was BEAUTIFUL!  We had no plans... so it was time for a Fort Family Adventure...

We've talked about going to Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville several times, but today was the day we finally headed north...

Our first stop... Rudy's in Denton!

Super yummy barbecue and they support mommy's college... Caw!

When we got to Gainesville we saw a sign for the World's Best Fried Pies... so we made a stop before we got to the zoo... and it was TOTALLY worth it!

Frank Buck Zoo is small, but it's one of those great places where toddlers can roam free and they are still safe...

I got to be the line leader the whole day!


Bunnies...


Goats...


Porcupine... the zoo keeper let us touch a quill and told us all about Lucy (short for Lucifer)...


Lemurs!

Giraffes!




Time to dance!

The have names on almost all of the wood beams and mom found her name and asked dad to take her picture...

So I immediately wanted to do the same thing... not an easy feat with the name Milla... we started looking for "Amelia" or "Fort"...  but mom found "Mills" (which she often calls me) and I decided it was close enough...

Giraffe!


No idea what this guy is...


Bears!

Bobcat...

BIG bear!

Gift shop time!

There is a fantastic park next to the zoo... it was almost as much fun as the zoo!




We had a great day!
