Houston Zoo

On Friday, March 19, we decided it was too nice to stay inside. We headed to the Houston Zoo. It was crowded because of spring break, but we were happy that military get in free! While we waited to meet up with Aunty Karen and the cousins, we checked out the meerkats. Adam remembered them from Sagamihara Park, but Lottie was fascinated.







Then we checked out the fish! Adam wasn't sure about some of the giant fish and the piranhas.









We were just in time to meet Lou, the hedgehog - a girl, just like our Lou.






Adam and Lottie even got to pet her.









Then we met up with Aunty Karen, Logan, and Kayleigh. We had to go see the giraffes (with pretty leaf-shaped spots).



















So excited to see the elephants - can't you tell?









Chris had a full load.











Logan and Karen watch the tigers.











Adam just loves his cousin. We played musical strollers the entire time we were at the zoo. The girls enjoyed playing peek a boo with Adam. He's a good cousin - usually!











There was even time for one last crawl through the piranha tank.
