Houston Zoo

After a good afternoon with Gma, we scurried to Houston in time to visit the Zoo before closing time.

 

No dilly dallying, now!

Tiger, Lion, Monkey skulls.



Elephants! (verrrry stinky)



Daddy and Abby



cousin to Giraffe, makes up for lack of neck with length of tongue?  Ick. :)



The lions were active and roaring!



beautiful.



I ignored my germ-instinct because of the great photo op. Ick again.







Loved the pretend bald eagle nest!





scurrying like prairie dogs



petting zoo, no kid-ding.



Anna L.O.V.E.D. the petting zoo.



Caleb brushed a few goats.  (but not for long)





Anna would brush one while looking for the next to find.  There was no goat left un-groomed!

Posing outside the Reptile Room 
(after the uber-creepy Rattlesnake that was prowling along the window and looking us all in the eyes... and the teachable moment that mama maybe took a little too far, since Caleb had snake nightmares several days later)

All in all, it was a grrreat zoo visit!
