Last week we went on our first big adventure as a family of 4 -- we went to the Houston Zoo! Kaleb had a great time riding around in his wagon and seeing the animals; Colton had a great time sleeping and eating. It was supposed to be an overcast day with mild spring temperatures, but it turned out hot and sunny. Go figure, right? Just 2 1/2 weeks ago it was snowing!
This was probably our third or fourth stop. Kaleb was already hot and tired. He bounced right back though. Just had to get some "lunch" into him.
Trying to get a better look at those crazy Okapis.
Pointing is Kaleb's specialty.
We did not intend for this to be lunch....but it was, so we win the terrible parents award for the day. Kaleb ate cotton candy, Dippin' Dots, and a bite of snow cone for lunch. In all fairness, we didn't think we'd stay at the zoo that long (and would get lunch when we left); this was meant to be a snack--intentionally full of sugar--to keep him going so we could make it to the Children's Zoo. How were we to know that he'd have so much fun that we'd stay until 3? :)
Goats!
Kaleb loved the petting zoo. I was proud of him for not pulling the goat's ears or beard.
A picture of Colton to prove he was there! This is all he did the whole time...well this and eat.
Gibbons!
Colton and Mommy. A few people were rather surprised to see such a small baby at the zoo...what? He's like 6 pounds! Comparatively, that's big for us.
Kaleb and Daddy. We got soooo many compliments on his mohawk and blue eyes. Oh, and someone commented on his teeth. I believe the exact comment was "Wow - what a perfect smile! Look at his teeth!" Haha. Those teeth weren't free, ya know. :)
