Our Trip to the Zoo

On Thursday of Spring Break, we ventured out to the Houston Zoo. This was our first time back since Sophie was a baby. We thought that she would enjoy it more this time around.
We knew it would probably be busy because of it being Spring Break and it was also a beautiful day, but man...it was empty! Who am I kidding?? It was pretty busy! But it was only bad in the common areas. Like the restrooms, eating areas, and little walkways. We took our time, looking at all of the animals and not really stressing over the crowd.
We spent a lot of time with the reptiles. I think this was Zach's favorite!! Before we went in, a man handed us books about the animals and the zoo. Inside the book, Zach found a blue frog, which he was amazed by. So he was on a mission to find the blue frog!! And he did! He was so excited. It was too cute!
We snacked on popcorn and sno cones...now a favorite of Sophie's. And before we left, we had to buy Zach some cotton candy.
I think we stayed there for four hours! But we had a really good time and it didn't even feel like we were there for that long.
By the time we were leaving, it was prime traffic time. So we decided to go ahead and eat dinner somewhere in the area. We went to a little pizza joint that we like. Mmmmm, so good.
On the way home, Sophie crashed out in the car and she pretty much stayed asleep while I changed her and got her ready for bed. Poor baby had a long, exhausting day!
Until next time, Houston Zoo...
