The girls and I went to the Doha Zoo while Mr. D was working one day. We had a great time. It's big enough to walk around for about 2 hours which was perfect for us. And it cost all of $1.37 for us to get in. What a deal!!
The main attractions for the girls were the giraffes, elephants, and zebras. These were all animals that they recognized so they had a lot to "say" to them. In the pictures, just imagine a lot of gibberish going on in the direction towards the animals. We often joke that the girls have learned the native language over here as we can't figure out hardly anything they are saying. We think it sounds much closer to Arabic than English.
One other animal that really caught their attention was an ostrich. They had never seen anything like it of course, and the ostrich was very interested in them too -- a little "too interested" for Mom's sake so I quickly got them away from the fence!!
The only downside to the whole day was that the zoo didn't have a souvenir shop. What is a day at the zoo if you can't come home with a stuffed zebra or giraffe??? I'm sure Mr. D was happy to hear there was no shop though... All in all, it was a successful outing and a wonderful time!!

Too cute! They look adorable in their outfits. A trip to the zoo sounds like so much fun! Weather finally warming a little here - maybe soon.
How fun... I wonder if the giraffes and elephants understood them?? Makes me want to take a trip to the zoo, too!
Just today, my dad said we needed to take a trip to the Houston Zoo! Sounds like the girls had a great time. And all for under $2... you definitely could have afforded the stuffed animals...
WOW, sounds like fun. I too was noticing the cute little outfits...do tell us, what is the weather like over there?
So are you driving with the girls & without Mr. D now? Sounds like an adventure in itself!
....& the zoo...how fun! Defin. a do-over!
