Meet Millie!

We finally got to go to Dallas to pick up our new Golden Retriever, Millie.  Here are some pics capturing her first 48 hours with us.

While we were in Dallas, we got to spend a lot of time with family.  They joined us at the Dallas Zoo, which was pretty much our best zoo experience to date.  The weather was cool and sprinkled off and on.  This apparently made the animals very feisty and active.  We got to see them all alert and walking around, and even saw some zebras wrestling and a giraffe running (strangest sight)!

Addie was REALLY excited to see the zebras!

Perhaps the coolest thing we did was feed these birds.  The moment you step into this enclosed area, they flock to you and perch anywhere they can.  It totally freaked the boys out--they ran away screaming.  I died laughing.
