The Houston Zoo

We ended our Spring Break with a trip to the Houston Zoo.  My parents have been wanting to take the boys for a while now and it finally worked out. We were a little apprehensive about going over Spring Break because we thought all of Texas and Mexico might be there. We were pleasantly surprised with with the crowds.

Overall the kids were pretty good, they just love there Addy so darn much. Hudson cried the first 45 minutes at the zoo because she could not hold him. She is having some shoulder trouble from holding him so much while we were on vacation... I might need to put these boys on a diet! He at a meltdown at the entrance and laid on the ground. Like a very mature parent, I took pictures.

He finally calmed down when I popped out the animal crackers.  We walked around for about 2 hours and checked out the different exhibits. Harper enjoyed everything especially the cotton candy and dippin' dots! The boys couldn't see much from the strollers, the fence seemed to always block their view.






We stopped and had our delicious lunch of uncrustables on a park bench. I love that the zoo lets you bring in your own food so that you don't have to stand in long lines and pay $7.50 for a bottle of water. My favorite exhibit was the giraffes, there was a baby giraffe! Oh my goodness it was tiny, only as tall as my expedition! It was seriously so cute!



Before heading home we rode the train around Hermann Park. This was probably everyones favorite part. Thanks A & P for a fun filled day!!
