Houston Zoo

One of the things our whole family wanted to do when we visited Houston was to go to the zoo. Especially Mollee. She was dying to see the giraffes.

We started off going to the kids petting zoo and Mollee had a blast petting all the goats. In fact, I think we petted each goat at least twice, then as we were leaving she saw brushes that were available to the kids to brush the goats with. So we had to go back in a brush at least 5 or 6 goats too.

I don't think Logan likes anything bigger than a cat. Dogs freak him out and he wasn't happy to be close to this goat either.

Once Mollee touched the snake, we were off to the giraffes. She couldn't wait any longer.

Mollee and her cousin Tristen were able to go and feed the giraffes some lettuce leaves. Mollee chose to feed the baby one and thought its long black tongue was "pretty cool".

Off to the Lions. They were roaring when we got there, which was pretty fun to hear. Then they settled down under a tree to rest for a while

I found out that one of the lions was named after me. It seems we have a lot of similarities.

Besides lions, we saw tigers, bears, monkeys elephants, chimps, cougars, all kinds of birds, zebras, and....

Texas Longhorns. Don't know why they had those at the zoo....?
