Zoo Boo!

On Bill's Friday off, we went to the Houston Zoo's Zoo Boo.  We took Ave last year, and she had a blast so we decided to try to make it a yearly tradition.  It was absolutely perfect weather on the day that we went.  Avery wanted to wear a costume but I was worried that she would get her new one dirty.  We went with last year's bee costume since it used to be big on her.  It was a little snug but did the trick!

 

1st stop-elephants!

Riding on Daddy's back is Ave's favorite place to be

Avery loves everything having to do with Halloween this year so she was thrilled to pick out a little pumpkin in the pumpkin patch.

We had been talking to Avery for a few days prior to our trip about feeding the giraffes.  Last year she was terrified, but acted really excited about it this year. 



Not scared one bit!  She loved feeding them and has not stopped talking about it since.

 

We checked out a few more animals before meeting up with Stephanie and Sophia.



I love that one!

We met up with them by the seals.  The girls could have watched them swim all day long.  They were fascinated.

 

Sophie girl really liked Ave's antennae.

I had to add this last picture.  Last time Steph and I took the girls, Ave ended up have a major tantrum at lunch, flailing on the ground, and getting duck poo all over her shirt and mouth.  This time, she ate like a perfect angel or really just like a normal child should! Such maturity :).

I love days that we get to do special things as a family.  The holidays are officially here, and I couldn't be more excited!
