A visit to the Houston Zoo

Jay, Sherrie, Claire and Christopher came to Houston for the New Years festivities.  Of course, when you have two young kids there really aren't that many 'festivities' to speak of - but we did manage to make it to the Houston Zoo for the day.  It was a beautiful day to be at the zoo - funny that on the last day of December it was almost TOO hot.

Claire explores the new exhibit - going through the underwater tunnel.

Of course, everyone else had to do it too.

This is a very popular photo spot.

These carousel pictures were taken while it was going around and around - amazing they came out as good as they did.

This is one of my favorite pictures from the day.

Lauren says 'MOOOOOOOOO COW"

Here she is doing her best prairie dog imitation. Pretty good, eh?
I laughed really hard when I saw this pic - it's another one of my favorites.

Hey - that's me! ...with my favorite little man.

We really had a good time that day.
