Tuesday, a day with the Animals…at the Houston Zoo

And, we’re off! Here we go on the Hermann Park Conservatory Train! We were first in line for tickets and the first riders on the train. I was insistent that we arrive early to the zoo if we were going to go at all over spring break. From what I hear, the number of people that go to the zoo on a spring break day is 20 times the number on a regular day. So, we were kind of crazy to tackle the zoo on this day. But, I’ve been called worse. So, we arrived in the parking lot around 9:30am and we were good to go.

 First stop, the elephants. There are two new els!

 And, there they are. My beautiful family and a giant elephant. Awesome! This moment was just before the first fit of the day.

 Here’s Trinity enjoying a very expensive lunch. Hopefully most of the cost goes to protect endangered species and care for the zoo animals. It’s for a good cause. 🙂

 Leeland’s very first carousel ride. Could he be any happier…..or any cuter!?!?

 Momma and Trinity! What a beautiful, fun day we had at the Houston Zoo, Spring Break 2011.
