As the Texas July temperatures were only expected to reach 93 degrees on Saturday, we decided to take our kids to the Fort Worth Zoo. After an immediate stop for a sturdy rental buggy (we own a kazillion strollers and didn’t remember to bring a single one) and six overpriced AA batteries (my camera conveniently ran out of juice as we walked past the entrance), we entered the monkey house. To take three children (all three years old and under) to a zoo is an amazing thing. Their eyes are wide open and they are (in true form) in a constant hurry to see what is next. At the end of the day, the girls loved the flamingoes the most (because they were pink), Henry and Matt leaned towards the white tigers and I had an unexpected affinity for the mountain goat. All in all, a lovely day.
My current zoo favorites:
1. Whistle & Wink’s Itsazoo Nursery Collection: Whistle & Wink’s signature contemporary nursery goes on safari. Soft, neutral colors make this perfect for baby boys or girls. Elephants, giraffes, lions and turtles adorn an ivory ground with khaki piping and mini-check accents. The crowining jewel, though, is the fantastically embroidered canopy, with tiny appliqued animals. Oh, Itsazoo out there alright.
2. Byrdie Graphics’ Animal Circle Wall Decals: Whimsical images in grand color; May you now decorate without fear. These self-adhestive vinyl decals can be easily removed and leave no residue behind. Four animal cut-out circles (one elephant, one rhino, one lion and one monkey) and four circles bearing their name are included. We highlight here the orange (perfect for Serena & Lily’s Ben Collection and Pixel Organics Lions, Tigers and Kitties nursery and big-kid bedding) but offer twenty hues!
3. Kee-ka Organic Monkey Onesie Bodysuit: In signature style, Kee-ka’s organic bodysuit is the perfect gift for baby boys everywhere. Simple in design but big in message, this supersoft onesie make the morning clothing choice easy, even before you’ve had the first cup of coffee.
