Our Trip to the Zoo

Since the zoo is free on certain national holidays, this past Columbus Day we celebrated by visiting the Houston zoo! It wasn't too crowded since several school districts had to make up the day from Ike. It was warm, but bearable. Jacob is an old pro, but this was Julianne's first visit! She just kept saying "Woah!" to every animal that we saw :). Jacob did great and walked for the most part by himself (well, beside the stroller), which was nice because he could wiggle up to the front and get a better look at the animals. Some of our favorites were: zebras, elephants, snakes (eww!), giraffes and the petting zoo. Julianne did have an incident with a goat that made her a little skittish around the other petting zoo animals (it nipped at her hand - see our full Picasa album for the pics.). Great day and great naps on the way home! (not me, just the kids :)
