Fort Worth Zoo

Jack and I went to the Fort Worth Zoo with our friends Gavin and Amy. Gavin and Jack took an instant liking to each other in nursery and lucky for me I adore his mother Amy. The Zoo is actually a really neat zoo. We have two big zoos (Fort Worth and Dallas) within about 30 mins from us. At the Fort Worth zoo they have this area where you can feed birds. I knew going into it that this would be hard for me but I didn't want Jack to be fearful of animals and birds so I put my fear aside and bought the seed to feed the birds. Right when we went inside about ten or more birds (not sure exactly how many too me it seemed like 50) flew on us to eat the seed. I totally freaked out, I mean screamed really loud, dropped the seed (luckily not Jack although I almost did) and ran out. So embarrassing but it was just instinct for me. I did not realize what I had done until I was almost out the door. This poor man witnessed the whole thing and picked up my seed and asked me if he could help Jack feed the birds. I happily obliged. Jack loved feeding the birds. The hilarious thing about this situation is that I grew up with a bird who would climb all over me. But as I have gotten older I just can't stand birds on me. Jack loved the zoo and he loved being with Gavin.
