It's zoo time!

Lucy, Ethan, Chloe, Carter, Evann and Reagan

We went to the zoo a couple of weeks ago with some of our Gymboree friends. Although there seemed to be a million school buses at the front gate, the zoo was relatively quiet. The weather was also perfect while we were there, not too hot and not too humid- not an easy thing in Houston. And we left the zoo at the perfect time- it started to POUR about 10 minutes after we left!

If you have never been to the Houston Zoo, I would highly recommend it. The exhibits are amazing and the children's zoo is neat too. Lucy enjoyed being outside and seeing new things, but I don't think she was able to see a lot of the animals. The animals are shown in their natural habitat so it was hard for the babies to find them. Her favorite seemed to be the aquarium and the monkeys. My favorite was the snakes!

She looks so hot and tired at the end of day! It must have been watching all those fishes!

She was pooped out! I can't wait to take Kendall but I think we're going to wait until she's a little older. Seriously, you are the only woman I know that likes snakes!

I love the zoo! I went twice while on maternity leave and it was great. If you girls are going to start going more often you should definately look into a membership!
