We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...

How about you, you, you. You can come too, too, too. We're going to the zoo!

So the boys and I packed up and went to the Houston Zoo today. We had loads of fun and James was really excited to go. Last night he was naming off all the animals we would see...hippo, lion, giraffe, tiger, elephant, bear.

Okay, that was like three weeks ago, but now I am picking up where I left off. So to the zoo we went with my great friend Mandy Hales and her daughter Sophie (who, according to James, is his best friend). We saw all the animals James was hoping for with the exception of a hippo. We even saw the lion and tiger very close up. I could probably go on forever, but let's just say it was your average trip to the zoo with heat, crazy parking, ice cream cones (thanks Mandy!), lots of animals, lots of kids on field trips, and lots of walking. But the our kids seemed to enjoy it and Matthias slept at least half of the time.

Pics are of us in front of the elephant, a tiger (just like Jabber...James' pal), and James watching the mommy orangatang harass her baby (she was trying to snuggle with the baby and the baby was trying to wriggle away).
