Houston Zoo

Grandma took the day off so we could all go explore the Houston Zoo. I hadn't been in years and this was the first trip for the boys, so we all enjoyed the day. Ben and Grandma got cozy with the komodo dragon.

There were two adorable juvenile elephants.

We got up close to a few of the chimps.

The kids went through the piranha river unscathed.

By far the best exhibit was the giraffes. We happened to be there when it was time to feed them and both boys got to offer a leafy snack to this beautiful animal.




Baby Miles, almost 2 months old, was absolutely adorable! He was nearly 6 feet tall at birth and weighed 100 lbs.

We saw him get some love from his mama from the cafe where we ate lunch.

While Grandma and I were fascinated watching the giraffes, the boys had their sights on a different attraction - the nearby carousel.

I'm pretty sure this was their favorite part of the day!


We rounded out the day at the kids' zoo and found a cute little prairie dog!

Thanks, Grandma, for a wonderful day! The weather was beautiful and the zoo was great fun.
