Houston Zoo!!

We got to go to the Houston Zoo with Grandada and Grandma Janie in celebration of Grandada's birthday!  What a wonderful, fun day it was, complete with the kids' first train ride (Zane's absolute favorite), a beautiful day to see all the animals, and eating at a new mexican food restaurant!  So fun!

His new carseat is working well!

And she loves her "new" carseat!  Also working well.

All set for his first train ride!

So excited!  Choo choo, here comes the train, she sang!

A great crew!!!

Rachel and Dada were buddies the whole zoo day!

A building that Jeff and his friends climbed to the top of at 2 am one night.  Hmmm...

Train selfie!  Out of order-sorry.

What was your favorite animal at the zoo, Zane?  The train.  :)  He was highly impressed.

Somehow related to a giraffe?  Interesting animal.

A chicken on the loose!!!

A stork!  They do have big bills, but not big enough for a baby!!  :)

Flamingos!

Playing

Taking a break in their matching shirts.  :)  tee hee!

In the petting zoo.  I don't think he touched anything.  :)

Here they come with a very happy grandma!

It's cheetahs!

Not sure what they are looking at.  Actually, I think it was a tiger.

Looking at the lions!  Definitely a better cage than the Texas zoo!

She loves him and he adores her.  :)

Lunch!

Giraffes!!! So cool!

Thank you for taking a picture with me, Jeffy.  :)

A rhinoceros!!

And a zebra!

Look at how close I was to this gorilla.  Just on the other side of the glass.

Not longhorns, some other cattle.

Hello!

Asian elephants.  We spent a lot of time here because they were so neat to watch.

One last train picture before we left.  What a great day!

Rachel likes water guns! Thanks Grandma Janie!
