My kids LOVE the zoo and I took the girls in late April with Nonnie.
We wanted to visit the animals again so Jessica, Jenny and I took my girls in July. It stormed the whole drive in so we were nervous we wouldn't be able to stay. It turned out to be a great day because it wasn't crowded or hot!
Love my beauties in their matching Flamingo outfits!
Ava wanted to take another swing by the elephants on our way out. We happen to catch a little presentation from the zoo keepers about feeding the elephants and cleaning their "shoes".
Why does my daughter like reptiles?!...
Mommy treated Ava and Colin to 2 new "tiger" pets!
Colin was finally able to come with us to the zoo in August. He was very busy with camps and other activities during the other 2 months of the summer. He loved it just as much as Ava.
The sea lion habitat is finally finished!
Colin took 100s of pictures on his iTouch too!
seriously...a chicken?!
too bad they wouldn't turn around so I could get pictures of their smiles and not their back sides. LOL
We went through the Lego Exhibit and it was absolutely AMAZING! We couldn't believe how real these structures looked! There were signs displayed with how many bricks were in each structure and how many hours they took to build. WHO HAS THAT KIND OF TIME?! I know my kids like Lego's but, dang?!
Ava liked the Lego's but was being moody when it came to taking pictures. Did I mention she is 3?...
Next stop on the map was the children's zoo!
Our family's favorite zoo animal are the giraffes.
What a difference a couple of months make...Ella was wearing this same outfit when I took her in April.
Watch out!
We got there just in time feed them.
Brace yourself...these pictures are HILARIOUS!
Ava told me to feed her leaf to the "baby" giraffe...
And I would feed my leaf to the "Mama"...
Mama giraffe was hungry...
Ava was SCREAMING and shaking when the "Mama" giraffe stole her lettuce leaf. I am so glad we had the camera rolling because those pictures are priceless!
The zoo keepers gave me an extra leaf because they thought Ava was upset that SHE didn't feed the giraffe. That was not the case at all...she was terrified!
So Ella had a turn too!
Carousel time!
The chimps were very entertaining as usual!
Ava stole the camera and took several pictures of the silly guys!
There will be a huge gorilla habitat in 2015! We are excited about that too! We miss that stinky guy.
I believe we have pictures of my sisters and I like this!
Again...why does my daughter like snakes and reptiles?!
We should have a membership to the Houston Zoo but we can't get there during the school year. It's too difficult with school and sports.
