Alright, so the less said about Tuesday the better. Both Logan and Liam had been fighting colds/coughs/whatever since the start of the trip, and Jill finally had enough and insisted we take them to a clinic or pediatrician just to be safe. So we spent the better part of Tuesday midday confirming her suspicions - Logan had pneumonia, and Liam had some pretty stuffed-up lungs.

Once we finally got them out of there and ransacked the pharmacy, it was nearing 2pm, so we finally made it out to lunch at a local Potbelly Sandwich Works - which was actually really good. Trying to salvage the rest of the afternoon we went down to Fair Park to check out the American Railroad Museum, only to discover why Jill scheduled that for Thursday - it's closed Monday and Tuesday.

So, with that idea shot we headed back to the hotel to try the pool. Which was freezing. The boys braved it until Liam managed to wander into the deeper water and spent a few seconds underwater before we hauled him sputtering and choking out of there. End of that party.

It was somewhat redeemed by dinner at Fireside Pies, a great local pizza shop. Of particular note was the dessert, a chocolate fudge brownie covered in chocolate ganache, vanilla ice cream and a morello cherry sauce. It was beyond decadent, but almost too much. Jill didn't even finish.

So on to Wednesday! A much better day all around. We made Zoo Trip #2 to the Fort Worth Zoo and newly opened Museum of Living Art, which was their new reptile and amphibian exhibit, and it was excellent. Overall the Fort Worth Zoo was better than Dallas', although their new Africa exhibit was quite good. Even a brief rain shower wasn't enough to dampen things (ha!), as the rest of the group were in the penguon building while Liam and I rode out the rain on the back of a tortoise statue under a giant umbrella.

So, the zoo pics:

















For dinner afterward, we headed over to Kincaid's Grocery Market, which has now morphed into one of the country's best burger joints. Burger meat is fresh ground daily, and burgers are freshly pressed and cooked when you order. Delicious.
